  1. hey mate, very much appreciated, have basically replaced all the rubbers in the brake system, and replaced all the sparks. fortunately nothing much more than surface rust at the moment so that is great. current issue is that the side lights don't work and I cannot actually find any problems with the wiring, so bypass seems to be the way forward. other than that, it seems pretty damn good nick. any reccomendation on a good cheap bike stand as the prices seem very variable and I don't want to get some chinese crap (but some chinese quality would be okay)
  2. Bit of a story first. Was able to get a 2004 125 Dragstar from a deceased relation for £600, considering that there are very few bad reviews of it, the only second hand one I can find is £1700 (and it's already been sold), and that it has less than 8k on the clock I think I got a pretty good deal. good points: the engine starts (but I haven't actually ridden it yet), both brakes work , brake fluid is still full after being left in the garage for several years, bad points: concerned that the foot brake does not return, Chain is loose, takes a long time to start (likely battery issue) on order: Oil filter, air filter, battery Basically what I'd like is a dummies guide on what I should be looking out for, what I should be doing now, and anything else people can provide/recommend that will mean this bike will be still on the road for my not yet conceived kids.
  3. Hi there I'm very new to bikes, always wanted to ride unfortunately parents were always the issue, now I'm out and I've done 2 sets of lessons I absolutely love it. Will be using this for lots of tech advice, and I apologise in advance if I sound like a complete newbie.
