mervin

you are learning grasshopper

Sorry Chris i must have sold em already no sign of em in the shed, i most probably thres em in the box of stuff a guy picked up from me for the GN last year, Merv

Economy cycle in the states stock replacements oil level sight glass it maybe still available from yamaha, CMNSL list it but economy cycle say NLA from yamaha, part you need is 214-21761-00

Twat got what he deserved

I melted an incorrect Bosch plug in my FS1E in under 5 km,s mind you it was guess work as i was desperate and the storeman at work did not have a cross reference chart at the time

or even spark plugs maybe competetive

Tell ya what my Vigor 650 is a pig to start if you leave fuel in the float bowl, i always turn the fuel off just before i get home and let it drain the float bowl, next time turn fuel on wait 30 seconds press button away she goes, leave it full of fuel it cranks over forever before it fires

Chris what is wrong with the bars yo have bought ?? you can get new ones from bitzforbikesquite resonably i may have a set of suzuki GN 250 ones in my shed you can have for the cost of postage they may have a few rust spots but will look ok if kept well polished up , If i still have em that is

NGK technical link what alll the letters and numbers mean Be careful as i remember the N9y has a longer reach electrode, so put the plug in and turn over carefully in case it contacts as it is the wrong heat range it may foul or melt though merv

THIS was floating around the other day, basically an ad for their silver plugs but must be some truth in the fact iridium is a useless conductor and best left to visors Gas up, was that better starting than when you had previously fitted new standard copper core plugs? or just better than the old plug you removed ?? merv

the ones i do not already own Modern bike i would think a xt660 tenere or new super tenere, classic stroker Silk 600 classic diesel Laverda Jota

I really cannot recommend it, one if it is the wrong heat range it could melt, 2 the threads that are left exposed by the short plug will coke up and make it very very difficult to put the corrrectone back in, possibly stripping threads and needing a thread restoration/new head, can you not order the correct plugs from an internet supplier Merv

what about this daft bugger then wheelchair Darwin

You've been waiting for them in breathless anticipation, so without further ado here are the 2010 Darwin awards. 8th Place..... In Detroit , a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in two feet of water after squeezing head first through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his car keys. 7th Place.... A 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who "totally zoned when he ran", accidentally, jogged off a 100-foot high cliff on his daily run. 6th Place ...While at the beach, Daniel Jones, 21, dug an 8 foot hole for protection from the wind and had been sitting in a beach chair at the bottom, when it collapsed, burying him beneath 5 feet of sand. People on the beach used their hands and shovels trying to get him out but could not reach him. It took rescue workers using heavy equipment almost an hour to free him. Jones was pronounced dead at a hospital. 5th Place... Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed as he fell through the ceiling of a bicycle shop he was robbing. Death was caused when the long flash light he had placed in his mouth to keep his hands free, rammed into the base of his skull as he hit the floor. 4th Place.... Sylvester Briddell, Jr., 26, was killed as he won a bet with friends who said he would not put a revolver loaded with four bullets into his mouth and pull the trigger. 3rd Place.... After walking around a marked police patrol car parked at the front door, a man walked into Florida's H&J Leather &Firearms intent on robbing the store. The shop was full of customers and a uniformed officer was standing at the counter.. Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a hold-up and fired a few wild shots from a target pistol. The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire and several customers also drew their guns and fired. The robber was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics. Crime scene investigators located 47 expended cartridge cases in the shop. The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds. Ballistics identified rounds from 7 different weapons. No one else was hurt. HONORABLE MENTION... Paul Stiller, 47, and his wife Bonnie were bored just driving around at 2 a.m. So they lit a stick of dynamite to toss out the window to see what would happen. Apparently they failed to notice the window was closed! RUNNER UP... Kerry Bingham had been drinking with several friends when one of them said they knew a person who had bungee-jumped from a local bridge in the middle of traffic. The conversation grew more heated and at least 10 men trooped along the walkway of the bridge at 4:30 a.m. Upon arrival at the midpoint of the bridge they discovered that no one had brought a bungee rope. Bingham, who had continued drinking, volunteered and pointed out that a coil of lineman's cable lay nearby. They secured one end around Bingham's leg and then tied the other (!) to the bridge. His fall lasted 40 feet before the cable tightened and tore his foot off at the ankle. He miraculously survived his fall into the icy water and was rescued by two nearby fishermen. Bingham's foot was never located. AND THE WINNER IS... Zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt (Paderborn , Germany) fed his constipated elephant 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally got relief. Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded. The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground where he struck his head on a rock as the elephant continued to evacuate 200 pounds of dung on top of him. It seems to be just one of those freak accidents that proves.... 'shit happens'

Spoken like a true scotsman barkey easiest thing i have found is to try the bike with the new plug and if it runs better then thenold one is on the way out
