Freeking twats, thieving scumbags http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news--general-news/padgett-family-devastated-after-bike-theft/30649.html#ixzz3wYeNC6L9 Clive Padgett: ‘We came back after Christmas and discovered that some people had decided they wanted part of my dad’s collection of bikes. They took several bikes including an RD250 and YR5. Those bikes are quite unique in that they are brand new and my dad’s devastated, as you’d expect. We’re at a loss really. This is part of Padgett’s heritage and part of the history of Yamaha coming to the UK. 'Some of the bikes are irreplaceable – where do you find another new YR5 in the world? This isn’t about the value of the bikes, the biggest loss is the sentimental value; it’s about what they mean to my dad. maybe this is the answer http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-bizarre/amazon-villagers-torture-motorbike-thieves-with-venomous-ants/24828.html relatives paid a ransom for the little darlings to replace the motorbikes

yes mesh it, crap will fling everywhere how's that sprocket going to be fixed on?

maybe not enough posts

there's trails and trials near me who supply NOS spares http://www.tytrials.co.uk/ half the fun is tracking down parts, build up a knowledge base. Also try Thailand as they have stocks too The guy who runs the repro stuff has a stand at Stafford classic bike show ( a must if you've never been and a good autojumble too) www.lpmreplicaparts.com

that MT5 made me chuckle. When I lived in Devon there was a hill called Barton Hill between Berrynarbour and Watermouth, My mate's lad had one and he fell off it as it went that slow up the hill. Mind you another visiting friend had to get off the bus so it could climb it

looking good there John, love the black too ( just needs a hat on it)

its very aggressive, that's why I use Peeks Polish. this can be used everywhere

I use a 2 stroke leaf blower to dry my bike

Mojo

looks ok in that grainy photo. should be lots of fun

depends on what you do to them I suppose and how much maintenance you heap upon it

Happy New year

gamma sounds a hoot, they are a bit fragile though. any pictures?

no idea what your after, CBR 125 has chain and sprockets that fit yours

so you did a streetfighter in the end? Are you putting any graphics on there or leaving as is?

I also use MArine oil, especially for storing bikes. they use it for outboard and inboard engines so is good stuff

just been to Ilkestone to see my painter and they have def gone bump

no idea, just closed

wonder if it shares parts with the RS? http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/honda/ls_125_ry/00/ https://www.facebook.com/HondaLs125R

a good garage would do a compression test (very easy to do with the right tool) at first I thought it might be the safety relay, that is needed to start the bike and is activated by the side stand switch, clutch switch and neutral switch. wonder if its a loose/dirty wire, worth disconnecting and reconnecting on the relays and see what happens. I suggest you get a manual for it as they will give you troubleshooting guides too

mc900 (I prefer MC5) fazers are good

Just heard that Granby motors has closed their doors. think they are holding out for a buyer but not a good time to put people out of work
