As above , try bump starting in 2nd gear , if it goes you've a starter problem , if not you'll have to dig deeper . Best of luck .

Good ! Now get a solicitor to screw the fecker !

The correct wires need to meet .

There's fitting kits available for those things ,

Nice "patina" , lol . Should be easy to get running , I'd say she'd fly along !

If you remove the handgrip and throttle tube you should be able to see where the clips locate ,

Hey , Result on the tank !! I don't know why all suspension linkages don't have grease nipples ? Cost I suppose , although you wouldn't imagine a couple of grease nipples'd cost the earth . Whenever I need seals my first stop is a local engineering place , they usually have what I need (as long as I've kept the old one's for reference ).

Trailie riding position is much better for beginners .

That's a nice little bike ! I'd get it running well and keep it the way it is mate .

Good man Tiberius ! lol ! Nice little bike . I thought it was one o' the RS50's .

Thieving Scum!! I hope you get your bike back man .

Commiserations Slice . My old Grandad was in Burma (RAF) . Never spoke a word about it .

Don't forget to oil the feckin' thing as described above or it will feckin' snap !!

Hi there , best o' luck with your new bike ! Get a manual as soon as you can .

Lovely bike , take it easy ! My brother bought a new CB500X the other day . He wanted a change from his VFR800 .

Check your clutch is engaging properly if the bike rolls easily when in gear with the lever out .

A non O-ring chain used with a Scottoiler ,or Kev's patented method of oiling a little and often with clean engine oil , will last longer than any O/X-ring chain lubed with spray crap . And will always stay clean with no horrendous gunk monsters hiding behind the front sprocket cover .

Nice FJ . Was it hard to find the blue spot brakes ? I'm looking a set for my 350LC build . Welcome !

A few drops of engine oil applied to the chain before you ride is as good as any . Just be sure not to get any on tyres or brakes .

What did you top it up with ??

DON'T put a used rear tyre on the front of your bike !!! It's lethal mate . I did so in an emergency once and it was terrifying . Think handling like a Lego motorbike and you'll get the idea . Best to stick with the recommended .

Good stepladder tip that !

Is Patricia still in the game , or is she drawing the pension now ??

That's not so unusual . I've lost count of the times I've had a puncture first time out on a new tyre . A plug kit is a must and will fit under the seat (I like the long sticky "liquorice bootlace" type best).

Ah , the Grand Theft Auto generation ! Quads are not bikes , and those little shitbags aint no bikers !!
