wild foamy

if you get it insured with swinton they dont ask for the certificate, failing that if you want it to be legit youd be best off contacting your local yamaha dealer through the yellow pages

PRI stands for PRIME, basically if you run your tank dry and run out of fuel turning the tap to this position will let the fuel flow even when the engine is off, your fuel tap uses the engines vacumn to turn itself on and off so no need to worry when you disconnect it

Hi Kevin! first of all i see your a new member, welcome to the forum and please PLEASE go and post an intro, chances are the other members wont reply until you do, doesnt have to be anything special, just a little bit about who you are, where your from, what youve got and what you want to do with it, takes 5 minutes and it will get you in the loop with us regulars. congrats on buying a pre-div, they are the fastest of the series no matter what anyone says, the notch at dead centre could well be the head bearings, its worth taking the top forks off and having a look just incase they have worn a "dead spot" into the race. viscosity? 10w/40, be sure it is a MOTORCYCLE oil and not a walmart special offer oil, if it contains mobylene then leave it well alone, putting a general purpose car/lawnmower oil in it will cause the clutch to slip and cause you no end of headaches, the sump plug is on the very bottom just behind where the exhaust manifolds go under the engine, it can be a right bastard to get off and if your bike is fitted with a Motad Neta system you will have to take the exhaust off to get it out, be sure to fit new exhaust washers when you put the exhaust back on or it is sure to leak (you may get away with using exhaust sealent in the headers for the first couple of times, after that its definately worth putting new washers in) MOT checks, definately check the rear tail lights, there are two dual filament lights just incase one blows you always have one left until you get home, if the cables are a bit coroded these can blow within 5 minutes of each other due to high resistance so check them both before the MOT, other than that check the rear suspension linkage moves freely as they are prone to ceising up let me know how you get on, im madly in love with the pre-divs, especially when they piss all over another young sod on a suzuki SV650 at the traffic lights. regards Foamy

Theory 4: Do not wind the handle whilst your balls are in the mangle

Well peeps, slight set-back, Foamynet required a fresh install of Ubuntu after some gremlins got in through my internets, meaning i have now lost the templates (should have made a back-up ) thankfully the templates of those who have already ordered are still available online and will just require modification

Oh Shush Sacha, you are a respectable person if ever there was one. right, now... what was i saying?, The girl with the dragon tattoo is on TV and i got distracted... yeah, bike may be seized, see if it will roll when in gear and then try and get it bump started

Hey Realrayzor, if you are interested please PM me with your full address as i see you are over in ireland and postage may be higher than mainland UK, u believe matty D and elmmet have recieved my shirts, elmmet has posted a photo in the thread "YOC t-shirts" thankyou for the pic

i totally agree, us military types are subject to compulsary drugs testing, you've only got to turn on the TV and watch a bit of jeremy kyle to see just how many potheads are claiming benefits :|

if its even remotely similar to the XJ600 its likely to be a high oil level

Awh cmon, you build up the suspense and then you drop that on us No problem dude, im like a robot waitress, i live to serve

Congrats dude and welcome to the forum, I'm restoring a turbo myself, are you stripping one for parts?

One less noble warrior Congrats dude, hope you enjoy it, there's a few years yet atleast before me and the future missus foamy tie the knot,

monopoly pieces...

medallions and YOC merchandise would be cool, we could give them away as prizes in YOC competitions lol

more than likely going to be a carb leak or missing gasket if the carb has been off a few times to be "fixed", also unscrew the top of the carb and make sure the slide has been put in the right way round (with the small tapered cutout facing the idle adjustment screw)

welcome to the forum RoaringMuffin, please post an intro thread in the newbies section, it's only polite we know a bit about you and your bike my '89 DT was comfortable to ride, my only suggestion is that you strip your front forks down and treat them to a new set of seals and oil, the whole process will probably cost you the $ equivelant of £20 and will be well worth it, as for the rear shock they should still be available from your yamaha dealer or an online supplier

I am confused yet somewhat arroused, all at the same time...

T-mobile did the same to me the feckers, the blackberry they gave me at the start of the contract a year and half ago hasfallen to pieces, so i borrowed my mates old HTC, then they wouldnt let me get an early upgrade, as soon as this contract is up im moving elsewhere Rory if your reading this i will return the phone some time in february... burn the memory card

common fault with an overfilled engine, my xj6 pre-div used to do that if i overfilled it

Have a good one dude, your at that age now where you have to worry about getting to the toilet in time... oh dear - foameh xx

Any suggestions? definately make an intro thread in the newbies section, a lot of the veterans get offended if you suddenly pitch up starting questions, as for the smoking 50, is it burning oil? done a plug chop?

Also elmmet has recieved hers, hopefully she will be kind enough to post us a photo to drool over... I mean er... admire

Yeah you said about the url before alex it will be correct on the shirts So far I have airheads, drewpys and yours... how many other mods are there? :s

Airhead, yes I got the message and all t-shirts will have the correct url, the screenshots were taken whilst under the influence of fatigue and alcohol, will pm everyone at the weekend as I am unable to get a decent internet connection where I !m able to get onto vistaprint

With/without names and slogans, Alex?
