  1. look on ebay for genuine, might be cheaper. What you want to do is find out who makes the gaskets and buy them without the Yam moniker and mark up! if you go with aftermarket, get a good make. Athena springs to mind, never heard of one fail!
  2. went out for a ride on the tracker last Sunday and couldn't resist getting an action shot of one of those web sites Kev hates. After rejetting the pilot and mains, bike runs great and revs out. It is running rich, but don't care ATM
  3. did you try the dvla site? it woud tell you if it was taxed and currently in use
  4. I thought you were wearing your helmet!

    good job there, if your restoring it later start collecting parts now. things have a habit of shooting up in price!

    sounds like you got some debris in the carb causing a partial blockage. did it rev ok when it wouldn't move? did you change anything since? maybe the drive belt has snapped!

    you only have to look at that chinese video to see the contempt of some people
  16. rust, 2 dissimalar metals, no additive in the water. I'd check al the galleries and get it flushed out, personally I'd strip the engine

    I'd take a picture with a ruler to show the depth. Hindsight will always say your going too fast. see a solicitor, its free the first interview and they'll know if you have a case! in the meantime, you will have to get gear and fix up the bike, but keep reciepts. Hope your OK?

  22. Oh my God, everyone off the roads, foams is footloose on the XJ. seriously nice one, mind you if I can get my tracker MOT'd, anything should pass
  23. crack it off, no pussy footing! ( the plug, not you)

    aye, close thing, hopefully he's ok and won't know what happened. My friends lad fell asleep on his bike as pillion, he had to whack him to stay awake!
  25. if the weather's anything like today, I'm def bringing the tracker. Had it on the shake down run today and got it up to 80 no problem. runs smooth too.
