Universal gear pedal
my DT certaintly aint stock. expansion pipe, K&N filter, bigger sprockets, 60cc big bore kit. will do 50 easy now . with the old 50cc kit it would usually get to 40 and sit there, maybe even up to 45 if you went down hill and could get it up onto the powerband (last few thousand revs were usually the best) before leveling out im 55kg, a bit over 10st so... erm... kinda shat in my own slipper there

Motorcycle Courier?
no, thats the pink walrus... will get plenty of pics and vids of it once ive got it running, should be able to do that when im voer there sunday as i sheered off two of the bolts that hold the springs under tension in the clutch basket on my DT, so ive got to extract them and get it all sorted

the Blue Dragon is at my dads now, the DT has to stay on the driveway 'cus her car "needs" to be in the garage... got a source of alternator brushes for it, so hopefully i can sort the charging problem out and seal up the carb to get it running properly, after that its all systems go... also gave it a new paint job (Royal Blue, same as my DT and quite close to the original albeit a little lighter) my DT spat a load of oil out onto the new brick driveway a few nights ago when i changed the clutch plates... she wasn't best pleased with that...

your FS isn't being piloted by an ultra-light, mindless, scrawny nutter

CBR6
my avatar says it all... just go over the usual like steering head bearings, forks e.t.c, wouldn't be surprised if there were some goddies added on so have a good look over it and make your own mind up. my dad has a 1995 CBR900 RR Urban Tiger and it is a blast to ride!, can't see why the 600 would be any different

Universal gear pedal
he started it... bet my DT is louder than yours , nobody likes it because "its too loud", but loud pipes save lives, atleast now they can hear me even if they can't see me.

Have you noticed ? (Another Useless Post)
Lies... dont know what you are all complaining about, i was riding all through xmas, all through the snow and the pissing rain on my trusty thrusty DT50MX, no fairings, no heated grips, very little in terms of a headlight, just my dad's old leathers to keep me warm and the moonlight to guide me home. it hasn't let me down since i sent the old big bore into meltdown and i ride it whatever the weather then again, i dont have a choice...

Alternator brushes?

Is new speedo over-reading...
best way to do it is with GPS, even a Satnav will do. on my DT i have a satnav mount on the handlebars (i kept getting lost...) and my indicated speed from the speedo matches the speed on my satnav easy way to check

Solo circumnavigation of africa
good luck to you mate! i'd best start getting ready for my ireland trip in May... very small in comparison (about 1000 miles over two weeks), doing about 50 miles a day and most of the time camping by the roadside or in the cheapest B&B i can find. just hope my trusty thrusty pocket rocket will get me there and back... keep us posted on how it goes

My Next Step Once Bike Is Running?
put the filters back on as without them it will run weak and cause problems later on. also check the fuel line and tank for obstructions and give it a good run, get the engine nice and warm to get rid of any condensation and to get it all moving again.

TZR 50 cc Trouble
could be that the battery acid was mixed incorrectly causing it to loose its charge or there is something else left on which drains the battery. it doesnt take much to kill those little batteries, e.g. if your brake light switch is loose and the brake light is left on it will flatten the battery within the space of about 5-10 minutes after leaving it for an hour, check the voltage in the battery using a multimeter, then start it and check the voltage again (should be about 14v with the engine running) to make sure it is getting a charge

Rechoming
hi everyone. are there any good places in/near berkshire where i can get my forks ground and re-chromed?, also some approximate costs my mates dad said he can get them rechromed through work, but would it be possible to prepare the forks by spinning them in the lathe and taking a few thou off until the chrome is gone? ta - Steve
