need to get SITO's there s an importer based in scotland or there is some on ebay £150 pair

woo hoooooo

are you on cdi or contacts? do a search for online manual as we had some available

red/white wire which is shared is 12v positive the other wires grey and orange are from the contacts/CDI and earth out then open circuit to produce a spark at the plugs, make sure they are the right way round!! check the condensor if you have contacts by opening the contact cover and looking for sparking over the contacts (there should'nt be any)

1. voltage regulator -mentioned in previous posts so do a search 2. mine has a false neutral 5th to 6th sometimes - try adjusting your chain 20mm slack at tightest spot

Hey, had a great time today at Barnsley despite the gales force winds over woodhead pass. Met up with Oldgit and hung out together (we even shared a meal AHHH) apart from the wind, the weather was great and I got to go on the race track to mix it with the rd's, cb750's and other kit from the 70's. never been to a show where you can "parade" your bike on a track!..... Bollocks, just screwed the bugger at every opportunity even got my tyres squeeling after the back staight and ground my foot pegs!! GT550 chasing me, he ground out most of his main stand on his recently restored machine oops! CB250 pottering in front better lean angle there!! bloody dust gave me the jeebies at first whoooo hoooo!! close up of me, red-lining in 2nd gear cheers to "Oldgitonabike" for taking the piccies

no problem mate, just don't understand the logic in it, all oils will deteriorate/rub/wash off in time and expose the metal underneath. If I apply wd40 would i have a permenate cloud following me as its attracted to the fluid? I personnaly use ACF50

wd40 and diesel are oils therfore do not "attract" water!! both are light oils and work the same way, should not need to blow them out as they will burn or are sent through the exhaust, therefore coating the inside of your expensive silensers stopping them rotting from the inside!!

try here http://www.yamahaspares.uk.com/XS250.html know it says 250 but there is a new 400 barrel there!!

I'll be going, hope the weather is like today!! can we give it some on the track or is it a potter behind some bsa?

that's a 250 engine

A man enters a confessional and says to the Irish Priest, "Father, it has been one month since my last confession and I've sinned with Fannie Green every week for the last month." The priest tells the sinner, "You are forgiven. Go out and say three 'Hail Mary's'." Soon, another man enters the confessional. "Father, it has been two months since my last confession. I have sinned with Fannie Green twice a week for the last two months." This time the priest asks, "Who is this Fannie Green?" "A new woman in the neighbourhood," the sinner replies "Very well," says the priest. "Go and say ten 'Hail Mary's'. "The next morning in ch urch, the priest is preparing to deliver his sermon when a gorgeous, tall woman enters the church. All the men's eyes fall upon her as she slowly sashays up the aisle and sits down in front of the Altar. Her dress is green and very short, with matching shiny emerald green shoes. The priest and altar boy gasp as the woman sits down with her legs slightly spread apart, Sharon Stone-style. The priest turns to the altar boy and whisperingly asks, "Is that Fannie Green?" The altar boy replies, ................................ "No Father, I think it's just the reflection off her shoes"

erm.. 55mm is a 250cc piston!!! 69mm is a 400 what is your engine number?

it means a weak mix, pilot jets up to 4k then main jets take over after that. idling issues are nothing to do with the diaphram, the idle sytem are notoriuos for clogging up especiallly if you don't run with an after market fuel filter inline twixt the tank and carb. try anti clockwise unscrew the idle on top front of carb 2.5 turns from bottoming out

A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country. Well, there's a very simple answer. Nobody bothered to check the oil. We just didn't know we were getting low. The reason for that is purely geographical. Our OIL is located in The North Sea Our DIPSTICKS are located in Westminster!!!

I think its been stopped coz of the volatile ethers or whatever their called and need respitory gear to paint. most modern paints are now water based. My painter was an ex dupont rep based in saudi.

should be ok, the rings should free off (ungum) by using the bike regulary. still get gasket kits from yam (motoward/motogrid/granby's etc) I think you can still get rings, but I got mine from ebay cheap. check fro overbore sizes before ring purchase!!

I think there is a sight glass on yours under the brake pedal

has the bike been standing for long? as the piston rings can stick and cause smokin' if its smoky on startup and goes/lessens when warm i suspect valve guides. if its really smoky all the time especially when you shut off the throttle and bang it back on then its the rings. check the breather pipe if there is any blow from the gear box

looking good, keep at it and you'll soon have a finished bike. watch out you don't over polish anything as it will stand out and the next thing you know the bikes all stripped down coz that shiny part didn't look right on its own!!!

blue smoke or black?

german ebay or shops in germany will stock them, as this was a popular bike there http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e...hl%3Den%26lr%3D
