    Alright lads! My names is Kevin, nicknamed as Bunney as its my surname. I live in Cork City, Ireland. I'm 16.. I drive a Yamaha Aerox YQ50 not many of them where I live. It's white in colour, Since I bought it I had nothing but trouble.

    Heres a list of what I replaced since I bought it,

    Top end (Pistons,Rings,Head,Barrel and all gaaskets)

    Water pump and Flywheel.

    Brakes twice (Driving it a bit hard I think) :lol:

    Front Disc

    Drive Belt

    Clutch springs.

    Nothing to do with popping wheelies then? By the way, WELCOME to the forum Bunney.

    Won't idle, wtf?!

    You know, that's a very real possibility because I did get the gas from Swifty here in the States. You UK guys probably haven't heard of it but it's not exactly the highest quality gas available.

    If I try and rev it up it will die instantly too, whether it be choked or not. Assuming dirty gas has clogged the jets, would this still happen?

    Sounds like the dirt may be trying to clog the main jets too. Get your carbs cleaned & fit a fuel filter & should stop the problem. Also check the diaphragms in the carbs just in case they may be holed.

    stator colour

    Try checking the brushes. If they're worn past the mark on them, then you'll get no charge(by the way the colour is ok, it's what the stator gets covered in to protect the copper wire). I had a similar problem on My FZ600 & a XJ550.

    how much!!!

    i recently brought a 1995 exup1000. a little knocked and banged but mint engine. anyway the foot bracket is damaged it moves every time i press on the rear brake and my brake lights stay on. i have to kick it to get it to go off. cant really afford a new one as the cheapest price i can get is £69. i know daft. does any one know how i can stop it from moving untill i can afford a replcement? cheers.

    The bracket you're talking about may not be damaged, the foot peg may have just rattled loose. You can tighten it by removing the bracket from the bike & tighten the allen bolt that passes through the back of the plate & holds the pedal & peg together (be careful as you may need to unhook the rear of the pedal from the rear master cylinder). Oh yea you might as well grease between the peg & pedal to make sure it works freely before tightening the bolt.

    Hope this helps.

    carb/fuel delivery problem 86 FZ 600

    vintagephil check your idle jets as what you're describing is classic blocked idle jets & airways.

    junker check your ignition switch coz i had the same thing & after a 5 mile push 2 a regular tea stall i go to (high beech) a friend told me about the ignition switches on these models & for some reason the backs tend to work loose giving a intermittent electrical supply. tighten the screws on the back of it or replace the switch will solve the problem.

    As Shed hermit suggests, check the inlet rubbers for splits & tightness to the head & also check the carb diapraghms for splts or even the smallest of holes.

    cheers!

    tax in post

    in General

    Sorry to appear a bit thick, :blink: but just renewed my tax disc online and would like to know if i can ride till new one arrives as old one ran out 3 months ago and was sorn'd.

    Cheers

    Depends on the start date on the new tax disc, as you stated the bike was sorn'd you could be pulled over for riding a sorn declared vehicle. Apart from that, the failure to display can be sorted by a records check by the officer over the radio.

    I had a similar problem last year when I was pulled over for riding a sorned bike & I'd taxed it 2 days earlier (over the counter at a post office).

    DIVERSION OIL LIGHT

    in The Bar

    Posted

    I've just bought a 1992 Diversion 600, and it does everything I thought it would. However, when i start it the oil light comes on after a short time, stays on for a few minutes, and then disappears. There's no sign that it's using oil. Is this to do with the levels not registering until it's slightly warm, or have I got a problem? Any info from 600 owners would be very welcome,

    Thanks

    Sounds like your oil level switch needs replacing (not doing it's job properly). Should be ok as long as you keep an eye on the oil level via the sight glass (or dipstick). Switches tend to need replacing at the age your bike is now (17 years old), my bike's 23 years old & i just know that i'm going to have 2 start replacing oil seals very soon, but being a lazy type person i'll probably leave it till it's absolutely desperate for new seals.
