  1. Just started a new Book and Film forum. This is just a shameless plug. If your interested.... http://www.freeforum101.com/sparkmeister77...=sparkmeister77
  2. Well you did ask.... Of course after weeks of hard work of course I wanted to take her for a wee spin. The top coat of lacquer wasnt quite dry. Just one drop of petrol escaped from the nozzle and onto the tank.....one drop I tell ya... Went straight through to bare metal. On the way home my visor steamed up with my tears.

    Have just read something... 1 wire is an earth and the other live. Strip the earth and attach to frame of the bike and then connect the live. Does this sound right?

    I bought some new smaller indicators for the back of my bike and when I opened them they both have a black and yellow wire. My exsisting bike has only one wire for each indicator. Can anyone explain what I need to do now please?
  6. Very Grease Lightening. I remember talking to some friends once about doing this to a car and one of them said its illegal in this country. Besides as bikers we sit on the main fuel tank for our vehicles, wire it up wrong..... KAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!
  7. lol....so much for upon light of day..... It actually had to be turned anti clockwise but its now better than ever (bites straight away), thank you very much!
  8. You have been a gentleman sir! Will do it upon the light of day and will buy you a pint if ever you grace Kent. Im goin to bed,ty and will let you know.
  9. I would never have even noticed this. There is just a tiny bit of play....sort of a resistance? Not much but a bit.
  10. (How the hell do you know all this?) Its a little tighter on left lock.
  11. Yes thats it. It happens with 1st,2nd and a little less each time down through the gears. (reverse has stopped working altogether...Joke)
  12. Just tried. Yes.
  13. Sorry I am trying..... The best way I can describe it is like when a clutch is wearing out on a car. You get the revs before the gear engages whereas is should be at the same time. Does that make sense? (and I do appreciate your patience and help)
  14. Oh sorry... Not really revving too much. Revs in a straight line. I mean its quite rideable and 1st and 2nd are worse.(2nd is kick ass on these...usually anyway)
  15. Ok..... The new bars are kinda wider.....er......check the pics on "what do you reckon" thread..its easier to explain.
  16. Sorry was watching Big Brother... Jus checked and you are quite correct.

    But sweet right? You can basically pull chicks with a scooter.
  18. Yam rxs 100 but keep it to yourself. (I took stuff apart and didnt really pay attention to what I was doing)

  20. Thankyou ill give it a try. Dont mean to sound ungrateful but it seems to me its almost the opposite. Can the cable be too loose?

    Ahh the old converting km to mph chestnut. Sorry I dont know but I hope you find the answer.
  22. I changed the bars on my bike and now the gears rev too much before kicking in. Is the cable supposed to be taught or something? Help please.

    Ok...with no technical know how and about 50 quid spent..... From this... To this... (still gonna get some wee indicators for it) Its been hard work but great fun!
