sorry to hear that Grouch........................YOC group hug .

if the bike's been standing any while, the modern fuel leaves a varnish and gums up the carbs, try some carb cleaner. also is the battery ok and charging? ecu won't like it at high revs if the volts are low. i suspect a main jet if its at the higher rev range

don't forget motoward and yambits you also get all the receipts I have collected over the resto so should have everything you need I have also sourced abroad cmsnl (dutch) yamahatopdog, bike bandit, old bike barn, and parts N More (USA)

Aldi have one in ATM. they do two types, the highest wattage is the better one as they won't slow down when under pressure and they sell a bit kit too. I trim welds down and port cyl heads with them

seen one some where on my travels.

DK spares might be your starting point

well done Bips, soon be tearing around Glossop on your 600

yep, one in Bolton and cheap as chips too

On the XS, you get an S cable which loads up the suspension keeping the chain as it would when off the bike. this keeps the chain tension correct, 20mm for my bike

maurice (people call me the space cowboy!) bit dodgy asking for manuals as the Gestapo threatened the site owner to delete all thread to links etc you ain't got no bike till we see the photos

aye, classic multi bike policies with agreed value and import bikes is what I'm interested in too

what shite weather? bit cold and windy, but I'm not complaining. even camping this weekend

Happened to me few years ago, with CBD and Mike right outside the pub carole nash to the rescue too

use wet and dry paper (soapy wet) with the wheels off. the white stuff is alloy coating itself. use progressively finer then you can get one of those wheel buffers that fit the drill. this is a lot of work but if you want it shiny, elbow grease is the only way (unless you pay someone to do it) same for all the alloy on the engine. you could also try Alloy wheel cleaner as its phosphoric acid and and tooth brush, then polish as before.

Merv likes Artics, so he's in Heaven ATM

build a draw bridge in front. keeps the scum bags out and provide a handy ramp too

bon voyage Pat, don't forget to come back

will do, prob not decide till Saturday though

we usually go through High Legh via Lymn down the A50, maybe meet up somewhere there as it on the way for you?

tommy, there's a bike meet not for from you in the Wirral. got an invite from the organiser from last year's bike show

nice one mate get it on the foams calender thing. I'm with the above, looks good as is without the chrome mudguards

small world eh! I'm just off Monton Road Stafford in 2 weeks and hope/pray the weather holds. As its over 2 days I usually pick the best weather day

good intro and never look a gift horse in the mouth. now is when you start to live your life as riding a bike changes you for the better
