  3. he's right. If the pilot mix is near the engine in front of the body its a fuel meter, so opeming the jet richen's the mix. if its located between carb body and air cleaner its an air meter and opening weakens the mix as it lets more air in!!!

  6. few pointers... check the tyre is not rubbing on the swing arrm is the hub hot? My mates 125 did this and the previous owner "forgot" to replace a spacer hence the bearing totally collapsed. chain oiled? brake free play correct?

    try speed & sport, they seem to have amassed lots a yam spares BTW they aren't part numbers, they are specs from mikuni via haynes manual.
  8. 4k is when the mains start to kick in so I would check diaphram for tears and smooth lift. check spray bars in carb.
  9. I've suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs... Phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with the girls a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, "Just some friends from work, you don't know them." I always stay awake to look out for her taxi coming home, but she always walks down the drive. Although I can hear a car driving off, as if she has gotten out of the car round the corner. Why? Maybe she wasn't in a taxi? I once picked her cell phone up just to see what time it was and she went berserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her. Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her. I decided I was going to park my motorcycle next to the garage and then hide behind it so I could get a good view of the whole street when she came home. It was at that moment, crouching behind my bike , that I noticed that the valve covers on my engine seemed to be leaking a little oil. Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the dealer?

    A motorcycle cop comes across two bikers. One biker has two fingers up the ass of the other. " What the hell are you doing?" asks the cop " My buddy here's got some food stuck and is choking," says the one biker, "I'm trying to make him sick." "You're meant to stick your fingers down his throat, not up his ass," replies the cop. The first biker says, "Yeah, I know, but you get better results if you stick them up his ass first..."

  14. arc weld a nut on it, which will do 2 things, 1) heat up the steel/alloy area 2) use a larger socket to provide more grip drewps

    the problem magistrates and judges face is the guidelines they are given to work with. if you want to change the way justice is done, vote the bleeding liberal politicans out!!
  24. theory test, what theory test? All I did was go round the block for 15 mins and explained a few road signs!! mind you that's all i seemed to do this year with the sh*t weather!!
