high revs means you need to check the idling system as its letting in too much air!! either pilot screw adjustment or you may have overtightened the rubber inlets causing it to bow (use feeler gauge to check)

I had a large tapping comming from the garage, it turned out it was my daughter practising her tap exams!!

should be able to take off the caliper without removing the pad srews! take off the caliper with the 2 bolts on the fork sliders, the single 13mm black bolt holds the caliper onto the carrier. you can then get access to those pesky screws to take off the pads. they rust in peace all the time and you can either modify a stainless screw with a file, or buy a new kit with H springs and the screw.

nevermind 4 cats, I want 4 candles

I want to meet the skid demon

A broad yorkshireman went into the vet's. "I've come about t'cat." The vet asks, "Is it a tom?" "Nay, ah brung it wimmee."

don't sell it, when your og's age you will be buying it back for £3k as "you miss that ole bike"

looks wicked!! (well that's what my daughter would say!) roll on summer/good weather

durex spect me to belive that!!

M.S.

you are most to the forum radar. Keep posting, good thread!

I would say its to stop people other than mechanics messing with it, although its most unusual

should be able to pick up an xs for £150, as with CB's the 400cc version is just the same with an identical looking engine

Most people think it 's improper to spank children, so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of 'those moments.' One that I found effective is for me to just take the child for a car ride and talk. Some say it's the vibration from the car, others say it's the time away from any distractions such as TV, Video Games, Computer, IPod, etc. Either way, my kids usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together. Eye to eye contact helps a lot too. I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique. Sincerely, Your Friend

but if you don't have O/X rings..................

sounds like me after a session on a saturday night

I use the biggest tyre levers I could find, rim protectors and make sure the tyre is warm. you also need to break the bead, just standing on it should be enough. I had some old wheels and had to drive (carefully) the car over the tyres (which were old and scrap anyway) you will also need lube to slip the tyre back on. I use olive oil soap as petrolium based stuff will affect the tyre. Personally I would just replace the inner tube as they are only £5 or so. drewps

I scream at mine if they go within 1 foot of the bike

this is my fave on U tube at the mo' here

ahh but...... as marks and spencer are in financial trouble. They have now merged with poundstretcher. they will now be known as Stretch marks.

spidey, go web go............

Not me, but there is the thumper club and an XT/SR club!!!

to the forum beast

looks like they are strip led's which are made into a circle to go inside the headlamp nacelle around the lamp itself. new BMW cars look similar. i would say they stick on and go on instead of the pilot lamp

nice one
