a friend of mine has a tzr250 and im near sure the pv servo is identical

well looking at the pricelist for new parts you would assume so, but as far as i know it was kicked over and vandalised!!

well there was a wkd bottle put through the window of my dads car which they failed to lift as evidence would would have been crutial to his conviction, as you said if they really wanted to nail him they would have!!my dad pointed the glass bottle out to the arresting officers and the said 'dont worry about that, we've got him!' they obviously didnt count on this guy intimidating the witnesses! but i do think its a good reflection on the way the psni operate! shit does happen and its a bloody discrace that arseholes can get away with shit like this, im sure if he had have been convicted he would have got away with a caution and a £50 fine! useless!

turns out the Gianelli exspansion chamber is just clear laquered steel, which is a shame. Someone should make a stainless one to suit the dt, would be alot more suitable to our weather. So who has the DEP system? and how long does it las without corroding? My DEP silencer is already corroded and rusty (the pipe before the silencer) and its just a year old. Is there any other alternatives that would last longer?

I spoke to ARD racing, they can tune the dt125 for £150 vat inclusive for a stage 3 race tune. Does the guy you know do alot of work or just for his own bikes?

does that mean that Yamaha's standard jetting isnt correct? or the jetting actually restricts it? Mine will pull 70 in 5th also but as supermotom says it will not pull as hard in 6th, i have the snorkel removed but i havent altered the jetting yet because the exhaust system is standard. maybe there is some kind of restriction in the spedo like the older dt's that we havent figured out yet?

bloody hell thats a good deal, shame I've no pocket money

http://www.dtr125.net/workshop-manualf.htm try that, although you shouldn't really need it to remove the top end, its quite simple, let me know how you get on

I'l do that, although I'm also thinking of writing to the obudsman to complain about the police that were supposed to investigate the case, there was a WKD bottle used to smashe the window of my dads car and the police failed to recover this as evidence, surely they should have lifted the bottle and sent it away for finger printing, which would have resulted in an open and shut case, although they decided that a witness would have been sufficient evedince to convict the guy. They didnt count on him intimidating the witness did they?? useless wan##rs, they really anger me! if this had happened in a well to do area they would have probably taken alot more intrest in this case! but at the end of the day its us hard working folk who come out the worst!!

I'm out of work at the minute so I dont think I can afford a solicitor just yet, although I may be able to get legal aid, but I'm not sure what way it works if I'm going to small claims court. I'l do a bit of reasearch on that 1, in the mean time I've sent the form away to the compensation agency so I'l see what they say. tanks

well the tank is dinged in, £550 for a new 1 from Yamaha, it can obviously be filled in and resprayed but if I'm going to be claiming I want the full amount lol. Handle bars, front fenders, side panels, headlamp was cracked, headlamp cowl snapped, seat ripped, mudguards scraped. I priced everything that was damaged from Yamaha and its going to be £1224 believe it or not

well this is true, it brings money in, and people from all over the globe. I have met Dutch, German and Spanish peolple there. But also, we should be very proud of the heritage, the famous UGP circuit is after all the fastest circuit in the world!

Remeber the Regal sponsored races that used to be held?? Why is it they pulled out of sponsorship? Is it because its a tobacco company? and if so then what are the reasons, its still allowed on formula 1 cars and moto gp etc...

well in that case if they are bikers we still have hope lol ofcourse I didnt mean individuals in the local government, I meant the local econemy. but I hope the UGP is around for another 10 years atleast

well as I said, I'l get him in the long grass. As for claiming I think the nio can help me but I'l know more in a couple of weeks i expect.

exactly, I done the exact same thing on my dtx when i had a top end rebuild, lucky enough the piston and rings werent damged but the rings had been jammed at the exhaust port side, we were able to pluck them back out and continue running it in. its very hard not to hit the powerband but you must do it to bed the rings in correclty, otherwise your asking for trouble. take a few photos when you strip the top end so we can see what has actually happened

500 miles is usually correct, but you must ride it, the engine must be under load, ie riding it and keeping the revs low. Im guessing you have opened it up and the rings have nipped up on the exhaust port side, I would definately want to inspect the bore and rings if it was mine

take the head and barrel off and inspect the rings

http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/sport/sp...mp;R=EPI-105597 The engine on the xtx and r125 are completely different though, but u may be able to get something from Malossi or other cyclinder mfg's

Well I've sent away the c1 for the the compensation agency so I'l just play it by ear, I was also thinking of small claims court but apparently there wasnt sufficient evidence to prove he actually done the damage I probably wouldnt have a leg to stand on! My guess is that the owner of the flat below my dad might have been intimidated into not giving witness statements. None the less we know it was him and revenge must be sought!

Last July my bike was damaged in a disturbance, it was kicked over and jumped on and alot of damage has been done. My dads car also was damaged with a brick through the window. They guy that done all this was involved in a disturbance in the flat below my dads and he was arrested. My dad wasn't in at the time, but when my dad came back there was police everywhere and asked him did he own any of the vehicles involved. I found out today that they guy arrested for all this was not convicted, how is this possible when he was caught red handed?? I have filled in a c1 form for compensation but I'm not sure if I'l get it or not. The bike was insured 3rd party only so they probably wont pay out! How can I get what I'm owed if the legal system doesnt do its job? I't disgusts me to know that someone can do this and get away with it!

Well I'm sure you guys know that the NW200 is all about the money, its became too comercialised! when you have a look about during race week, alot of people are just there to drink and cause trouble and make a mess! I was camping near Mathers Cross about 6 or 7 years ago and it was brilliant. There was barrels and a big stack of fire wood you could have your own camp fires, you could drink and everyone had a great laugh. Last time I was up there arent any fires, you cant bring your own drink unless you buy it from the beer tent. I was told I wasnt allowed glass bottles in but when you went to the beer tent they were selling glass bottles of Stella and WKD. And the lads running security were complete dicks! Local gangsters probably! They threatened to remove us from the site because we lit our bbq and there was a few flames. My dad protested and ended up getting grabbed by the throat by one of the 'security' needless to say we told them to f##k away off! I still go up but I much prefere hanging my head out of the bushes just past the exit of the hairpin at the Ulster! If they get rid off the UGP it will not be due to 'safety' issues, it will be because its not generating the sponsors and local government enough cash!! long live the UGP!

that does sound strange, you would think the full power model would have a bigger jet to the standard one, maybe it has a different carb or it could have a bigger diameter. sorry I cant help, I've no experience with RD's yet. Have you fitted the Micron and ran the bike yet to see what way its running?

Cheers, even if I cant get out for the pre il get out a Kirkistown, its a shame if the bike isnt raced, so I keep telling my dad lol

I see, both very valuble bikes, my dads has a 350 racer and a 350 venom, one is an mac and the other is ktt, I could be mistaken on that but I know the racer is quite special, I hope to get out on it this year, maybe get down to Kirkistown for a run and see how she goes!
