  1. 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."

    Evening all

    you are most to the forum radar. Keep posting, good thread!
  6. I would say its to stop people other than mechanics messing with it, although its most unusual
  7. 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
  8. 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..................
  10. sounds like me after a session on a saturday night
  11. 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
  12. I scream at mine if they go within 1 foot of the bike

    hi guys

    to the forum beast
  17. 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

    Down Pipe tarnish

    stainless is that because of the chrome content, alas there is different types of stainless, food grade having the most chrome content thus harder to manufacter and bend/weld/drill etc. I have motad "stainless" which show rust in some parts.
  19. I would go with original jets and maybe raise needle 1 position or pack with washers if there is no groove for this!!
  20. Just a heads up for UK peeps. Aldi have got ultrasonic 600ml baths for sale on thursday 15th Jan for £17.95. great for carbs, screws, OG's false teeth etc
  21. check float bowl height first, maybe that it too low and not supplying fuel. using the choke bypasses the pilot system so I would check for blockages there!! check sparkies if they are wet or white to get an idea what is happening in combustion.

    there is a product called "blu away" which gets rid of and reduces the blueing effect.
