hey up lads
am after a wing man for some green lainging summer time, i have no mates with road legal bikes although one of them is looking into a quad bike but nothing has come of it yet.
there are some green lains near me (blaydon area, newcastle) just looking to see if there is any members on here with same situation? or members who ride these lanes already?
the lanes i am on about are near a quarry called "lady cross quarry" and i have heard they go a fair few miles...
no worries if there isnt anyone on here ill just go by myself cos im a loner
cheers

straight from a 125 to a 600? im considering it, but is it easy enough to get used to the extra pull without getting in some sticky spots?
went out with a mate who has a yam xt 660 he offered me a go of it a while back but i lack self confidence and all i could think of was it's to big for me (only ever rode a 125) he was assuring me that it would actually be easyer to ride than my dt125 and xlr125
i eventually had a go - he was right the extra weight and torque is easy to manage and felt alot more safe your also not going up and down the gears screaming the nuts out of every gear to go anywhere.
i was on my dt screaming it up and down the gears while he was in 3rd most of the time...
needless to say im looking at a bigger bike

im hoping the barre lisnt knackered but if it is ill have to sort it out, bike is worth the money
to be honest its been doing it for 2 weeks now, been busy with work and baby so still using it every day hoping it wont die on me!!
do you think it could just be topend barings?

ive only had my dt 125 for a couple of weeks but im looking at some adventures in summer time, there is some green lanes near me (prudhoe, northumberland) that are supposed to go somewhere near scotland but i dont actually know for sure (part of the fun)
got some jerry cans and with my rucksack full of food/water ill be off - cant wait "shame i dont have a wing man to come with me

yo mofo's!!
i got a decent rattle on my topend when cold and warm, is it possible i could replace the rings or should i be looking at a piston kit and small end bairings??
sorry for the noob question i have never worked on a 2 stroke - plenty of 4 strokes!!

cheers

they recon jeremy beadle had a little hand in on it aswell

I will have to do the same. Sold a van, cracking little thing. Mint nick went at best offer for 1100quid.
Invoice sent wed. Nothing yet but in his message he was in a hurry.
Cheap arse car hawkers from brum no doubt. Want to turn up suck their teeth and offer less. Then get upset when you tell them to sod off.
Looks like i will be relisting soon.
i have had this also, some bellend turned up for my xlr125 rode it and said it was too slow but offered me £300 for it - i was asking £750.
thing is if the retards have experience on ebay they know if the buy it through ebay there entering into a contract, then if they break that contract they are liable to ebay's proceedures - they can only do it a few times a year aslong as people keep reporting them then there ebay account would have restrictions eventually they would be shut down.
im up to nearly 700 positive feedback, i have sold lots but bought more and i have had some bad experiences with buyers and sellers but the majority seem decent.
had one guy buy an OKO 28mm flatside carb with spare jets uni filter off me for £30 posted, cost me £90 sold it because i sold the bike it was intended for.. he come back to me nearly a month later saying it was damaged opened a case against me (even though he left positive feedback saying i was one of the genuine ebayers)
he got his money back and i got carb back which was immaculate and working i was so annoyed because he couldnt set it up he thought rather than sell it on he would make me out to be selling broken item and a liar the little fag!!!

i was fingered by jeremy beadles little hand!!!!

i was under the impression that if there was an ignition of fuel all fuel in cylinder would be burnt?
sounds like tosh to me!
-
any updates on this? looking good so far man
-
no mate!
he has missed his opertunity to buy it now so you are within your rights to relist item, and put in your listing that you have relisted due to a time waster!
if he was to pay you can refund... rules are rules for a reason so you dont get messed about.
send him a final email stating you have reported him and also item has been relisted, you have acted well within ebay rules.
march on dude

hello mate and welcome

my dt125r does the same mate, fires up after 2-3 kicks from cold with choke, leave to tick over for a min then start tickling the revs and she bogs and cuts out fire it up again let it tickover with finger on choke leaver (as the choke on my dt drops automaticly after few seconds of running) tickle the throttle and then she is fine...
kicks over first kick once warm, i just thought it was normal as tempreture is starting to drop through the night - was frosty this morning so i let her warm up for a good 10mins
ive had a few bikes also on and off road and they have all been different on startup, some dont need choke some need longer time on the choke.
maybe its just your bike needs a little bit more warm up time before trying to rev her

he is on this morning..

dont worry if he give neg feedback you can get that removed so just go through the motions - make the t!t regret what he did!
does he have much feedback?
ive had problems with ebayers also-is it me or is it not the same as what it used to be????
i never go for the bidding, i just go for buy it now's and hunt for a decent price - i think the fun of bidding has been destroyed by prgrams that bid automaticly for you at the last min etc.... what happened to people bidding what they think its worth to them and if they get it for less its a bonus.
used to love going on ebay for hours and bidding on stuff!
i always put a buy it now on my listings

My bike doesn't start sometimes I just keep kicking them it does, mine doesn't like the cold
Don't think I can help you!
No idea on your idle rpm no idea on your max rpm your plug is correct colour.
All I can think is fuel supply problem
Sorry

Invoice is automatically sent!! They know they have won the item as they get an email!!
There should be a standard amount of time for payment you need to look at your listing, it is possible to change it but if you haven't I'm sure it's 5 days!
Just email them and ask if they still want item and they are bound by eBay rules, you will then have no option but to proceed through eBay policy
-
Colour of plug suggests its running right mixture!
When you do get it ticking over is the revs 1500rpm ish?
Mine wouldn't pull just like yours, was smooth but underpowered, found out my power valve was restricted and also the limiter was still present in speedo!!!
Does your bike redline through the gears?
Before mine was derestricted I could get about 7500rpm just before powerband was gonna Kick in then that was it!
Now I can scream through the gears redline and it shifts
topend rattle on dt125r!!
