wild foamy

Lol, good one mate, showed that to a few people in ym technology class whilst the teacher was out. once again, LOL

lol, yep. passed a signpost shortly before it died saying "Hungerford 5 miles" with "Newbury 10 miles" pointing in the other direction

i thought i was on main ... was a very long walk, took me over two hours non stop

i thought i was on main ... was a very long walk, took me over two hours non stop

lesson learned the hard way... also learned which is reserve on the fuel tap the hard way... pushing a motorbike 5 miles to the nearest petrol station in the pitch black on the back roads is a very scary thing

went to the shed and put a 12v 21/5w bulb in it and away it went... will go into town during the week and get a 6v bulb turns out the 5w filament was cream crackered on the original 6v 21/5w bulb despite the fact the filament looked alright i didnt like the look of the original electrical tape that was caked in crap so to be neat i stripped as much of it off as i could and replaced it with fresh tape, now looking a bit better problem solved P.S. i did a continuity test and wasnt getting a reading across the yellow wire that runs my running lights as when i unplugged it the brake light still worked, but when i unplugged the blue one nothing worked

took the tank off and stripped back as much of the shitty electrical tape as i could, can't find any evidence of a solder joint, methink a previous owner has re-done the wiring as there is a bullet connecter on the yellow wire but other than that i got the yellow wire coming out of the bottom of the HT coil going to the brake light, and two black ones which then bundle into the rest of the loom... this bike is starting to piss me off ever so slightly...

have found some battery operated heated gloves on ebay, and i think maplins have them on their website aswell... only bad thing is the dont have protected knuckles or fingers... so perhaps not he safest option... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HEATED-GLOVES-BATTER...A1%7C240%3A1318

whats wrong with the sig?, i quite like it... very dominating... ... i guess i'm at that age, lol...

HAHAHAAAA!!!, good one Goff... i remember someone saying something similar to me about a baby mouse and a cornsnake... keep em coming

would do if i could find 'em!, they arent on their website but my basingstoke store is only about 17 miles away, will drop in after school and see if they have them

Yeh i have checked with a multimeter and im getting voltage thorugh the blue wire for my brake light but only about 0.3 for the running light the contact is fine, have checked that when removing/replacing the bulb its too late to fart about with looms now, when i get back from school tomorrow i may get round to it if i can be arsed

thanks mate, will pull the tank off tonight and have a look-see. the whole loom from the connection under the seat to the front is covered in insulation though, how will i know where the solder joint is?

Bulb is fine, and its the blue light which is the running light, the yellow wire is for the brakes and that works fine. with the headlight on it puts out about 0.3 volts, so obviously somewere in the loom there is either break or high resistance that is stopping the juice getting to the back light :S even on the plug straight out of the switchgear i am not getting anything above 0.3V volts, and the switchgear was brand new and working when i put it on there a week or so ago so its not that. any more ideas? this one has me stumped O.o, i havent changed any of the wiring so im not sure why it would suddenly not work. is there a regulator or something in the circuit that may be faulty? and whilst im here, anyone know where i can find a wiring diagram for the complete bike and/or brake lamp circuit

who says a small woman is a bad thing? , like you said you dont get big diamonds... im sure Mr Goff is content with you the way you are

yeh aslong as you move it in a way that the chain is turning the gearbox it should engage all gears

even just by rocking it you should be able to select all of the gears in turn, if you can't then this may indicate a gearbox problem

the earth seems okay, no visible damage and i am getting voltage through both the blue and yellow wires. t'is confusing O.o

okay... now try one without photoshop

hi everyone. the Tail-lamp on my DT50 has stopped working, it will work as a brake light but with the headlights on it doesnt light up like it normally should. i've cleaned the connections and checked the bulb but everything seems fine, it had an MOT on Friday and my dad pointed it out on saturday... perhaps someone can shed some light on this problem? O.o - Steve

ooh sounds good, do they work?, can't imagine you'd get much juice from AAA batteries :S

cor'blimey, thats something to do on a rainy day i guess... may print a few of them off, sure to keep me occupied for a while

probably because its such a large bike (both in physical size and engine capacity) and that you havent passed a test yet (no licence) my first bike (Yamaha DT50MX) has cost me £220 to insure TP F&T, would have been £180 if i could keep it in the garage i found swinton are the best for small bikes, or possibly e-bike, best website to use is gocompare. why one years no claims though?... O.o

Not at the moment, OG... im busy fitting my Nitrous kit

we're looking for a 3rd person to join in the fun, preferably on another 50
