nah, its not limp, the camcorder cut the sound down, its really loud. its not a shorter wheel base, i used longer front forks and jacked up the rear, which makes it look so! rides really well, i was taking them corners around 60! it very light compared to a standard xs ( just an engine really) the lights work well for only 35watts!

I wanted a bird with big breasts and got a turkey!

made a vid of me Tracker, bit tongue in cheek at the beginning... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lO53c48sJL8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

here's some practice key finding, off you go...

aye, its called supply and demand, you really want it, you gotta pay for it! The most expensive plate is "1" at 7.25 million

that sounds so wrong..

we have a motorcycle hearse round our way, smart looking too!

welcome Mr Hill

one just sold on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110755255210 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/side-winder-sidecar-/260736315507?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item3cb5187073#ht_500wt_1156 go on neuman I know you want one!

probably thought you were doing trick or treat!

...and who remembers the sidewinder? ride with L plates and a 250!

wish mine was!

saw that OT, wasn't very enlightening, anyway the law was 16th december 1971 16 yr ols had to have pedals to ride a 49cc motorbike. ie it became a moped

15th december 1971 all 16 year olds had to ride a moped, ie with pedals

the gov, now class any 49cc bike as a Moped, bit like your tappets Fs1-e started as F5B

found it Up to 14th December 1971, a 16 year old could ride a motor cycle on L-plates up to 250cc solo, or unlimited capacity with a sidecar

tried Paul, they only say a moped has pedals pre 1977! nothing pre moped! I thought '73 ish too

i was being pedantic, but that's how I am with engines! I always adjust the valve clearances not the tappets

probably needs the float needles and associated parts

no that's rocker arm adjustment for valves, tappets are these or can be mushroom shaped

when did the requirement to put pedals on 49cc come into effect in the uk, ie a moped? Googled and got naff all!

try these http://www.allensperformance.co.uk/mikuni-carburettors.htm http://www.cameron-site.co.uk/nrp/

all the valves need to do is seal. look for broken valve springs as that helps seal them too. I'd decoke and lapp in the valves, which you need a valve extractor clamp ( or make one from a G clamp,google it)

never had gaskets go on me, i even make my own. The most important one is the head gasket, sealing in the expansion gasses! you need a torque wrench too, impossible/dangerous to guess tightening forces

tappets? pushrod stuff OG looks like the head needs a decoke, and poss the piston rings are not sealing properly. what you should have done is taken a video before you stripped! you now need to check with your manual how much play is allowed and if the bottom end can be moved up and down at all (that may indicate the knocking sound you can hear) that's all I can profer up to now!
