  1. Hi there, 1. I have to use the choke when the engines cold. If the bike struggles to start ie. first thing in the morning, applying the choke will give it a helping hand. Don't leave it on though. 2. Try some WD40 in the lock, wait 5 minutes then try and unlock it. If that doesn't work I'd look into fitting a new lock. Should be a fairly easy job.
  2. All sorted. Can delete this thread if need be. Cheers
  3. I did my cbt a couple of months ago. Best thing i've ever done. Bit of advice for you, ride with confidence, check your mirrors AND your blind spot regularly and be cautious when passing junctions. Have fun!
  4. If the bikes got the power to match the sound then I don't mind loud exhausts but all noise no poke seems silly to me. I made this mistake with my first car ( 1.1L ). I stuck a 4" pipe on the back thinking ooooh check me out but I soon came to regret it.
  5. I'd love to come to this but by the time I get up there on A roads the weekend will be over and i'll probably need a rebuild haha. Once i've done my full bike test next year i'll come to the next one! Nice bike finnerz, thats what I want when I pass my test. Either that or just to piss my old man off ( triumph is like a religion to him ) I may get an R6 haha.
  6. Haha, nice one man. You've made me feel alot better! I'm new to 2 strokes so this was really worrying me. Cheers! I changed the gearbox oil a few weeks ago and I check the level through the sight glass every day. It doesn't appear to be leaking so I'm sure it's the idling and the exhaust thats the issue. Thanks for your input though. I may well check the seals anyway. True. I might have a go at this this weekend as I can't get a new exhaust until next month. Cheers! It does smell good. Silkolene is what I'm running on atm and it runs sweet as a nut.
  7. The oil pump itself isnt adjustable on my bike, the only adjustment is the cable thats attached to the pulley. I followed my haynes manual and have left it alone since. Nobody has told me to idle it for that long nor have they told me I shouldn't so thank you very much. I wont be doing that again! I havn't been idling for more than 30 seconds the last few days and it's still spitting out. Do you think it will be ok to carry on riding it or should I take the head off and check for any damage? Cheers
  8. *Update* Hello again, I hope someone will read this as I didn't see the point in starting up a new thread. So i've been taking it for quite a few long rides, opening up at every opportunity I get. Oil was still spitting out so I adjusted the oil pump which needed about 10 - 12mm on the cable. Checked the spark plug which looked ok to me. Bit oily but a tanned brown, good compression and runs like a dream so I'm stumped. I havn't cleaned out the exhaust yet as I'm waiting to get paid so I can buy a new system (my front pipe is f*cked anyway). If the exhaust is clogged up ( which I'm pretty sure it is ) will it continue to clog up and spit s*it out despite everything else working fine? And I was wondering if the effects of adjusting the oil pump may take a few more miles to clear all the crap out? I've done around 35 miles since doing it and about a quarter of the journey was full throttle. I noticed less smoke but still enough for me to curse all the way down the bypass and my numberlate was again, coated in oil. Cheers, Dan
  9. Cheers! Hi Meatloaf, sorry, ive only just read your comment. I live just outside of Dorking.
  10. I was just wondering if anyone is interested in going green laning? I'm a lone rider atm as most of my mates don't ride and the ones that do aren't on the road atm so I'm hoping to meet some new people. I'm not in a hurry as I want to put a tool kit together and make sure my bikes set up but in a few weeks I should be good to go. If anyones interested please let me know! Cheers, Dan
  11. That may explain the problem. I live right next to an A road ( 50 mph ) so I've been running on idle for 10 - 15 mins before I set off so I can get up to speed quickly. I'll go for a few long runs this weekend without idling for too long and go from there. Cheers!
  12. The last time I did that it did reduce significantly. I guess it's going to be trial and error! Cheers for your input.
  13. Will do man, thanks for your input : ) Sorry man, next one will be in the workshop! I appreciate that 2 strokes are oily but the oil on my tyre is a little excessive and I'm worried about riding in the rain because of it. Yes, I've been using high quality oil aswell. That's great, thanks for the advice : ) I've had it a month and the only time it hasn't done it was when I was using it quite often and for long rides. I don't think I've had it long enough to say it was unusual though. I agree, the amount of oil on the tyre is excessive and it looks dangerous, especially if its wet/raining! I will try and get a photo uploaded at the weekend. Thank you all for your help.
  14. I havn't noticed any coming from anywhere else. I'm pretty sure it's just coming out of the exhaust. I will check though, thanks. Also the oil on the tyre seems to only be on the right hand side which confirms to me that it is the exhaust. I'm pretty sure it's dirty oil mate. One of my mates put his hand over the end of the exhaust when it was running and said it smelt of petrol? I would have thought thats what it would smell like but he seemed to think it wasn't right? : S
  15. Hello, Thank you for taking the time to read my post. As the title says, after I have been out for a ride I'm having to wipe oil off the back of the numberplate and my rear tyre. The bike was unused for 9 months before I had it but I've ridden it for a month now ( nearly 1000 miles ) and its still spitting. The exhaust looks original so I'm thinking it could be carbon deposits ( I'm getting a new exhaust to eliminate that ) and I've changed the gearbox oil which doesn't appear to be going down at all. Only thing I can think of is possibly worn seals but I'm still learning and do not know exactly which seals it could be. Anyone had this problem? Cheers Dan
  16. Hi, I'm Dan and I'm from Surrey. After buying a pitbike to mess around on I instantly fell in love with riding and have finally got my arse into gear, done my CBT and bought a Yamaha DTR 125cc!! I will be interacting alot as I am keen to learn and also to find other people in my area who are into the same thing ( especially green laning ). Thanks for reading : ) Dan
