  1. Steve you must do this mate
  2. those 90 degree ones are the worst
  3. sounds like immobiliser failure. When the key hasn't been coded it usually starts but won't rev and just misfires. If the wrong key has been coded or the immobiliser has failed it will get a few sparks that allow it to run but then they misfire and eventually spark at the completely wrong time. This will keep repeating as you keep cranking the engine over. could be the above taken from; http://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=1991241
  4. hopefully it will be sunny for us too

  9. My dad was never good at mechanical things, but my uncle was into all the things I loved, bikes, RC planes etc so when he took me out on his ex-police 650 triumph, I always wanted to ride a bike from then on. my first bike was from Venture scouts, they were throwing away a cd175, so I sort of did it up and even got it going with very minimal tools. after that I got a kh125 and passed my tests on that and that we say, is history

    a brief Joey anecdote from former Honda team boss Neil Tuxworth: "Joey never used many spares.I remember Carl Fogarty used to have a brand new clutch every race when he raced an RC30 with us. Joey used one clutch for three years! Of all the riders I’ve worked with, Joey used the smallest number of parts of anyone and he never had many breakdowns either. I think that was simply down to his neat riding style and the fact he understood engines. One time he rang up for some piston rings to rebuild one of his bikes. So the lads in the workshop thought, ‘if he’s doing a rebuild he’ll need a host of other bits.’ So we sent him a big package of parts, pistons as well as rings, gaskets, lots of bushes, seals, that kind of stuff you need for an engine rebuild. A week later this package comes back virtually untouched apart from the rings, with a note in it from Joey. It read: “I only wanted f***ing piston rings.” To this day I can’t believe any racer would be honest enough to send back any parts he didn’t need."
