to the forum and many happy smiles on your new steed

Tim, I'd check that the breather hose (rear of engine, behind the starter cover) is not kinked or blocked, this releases the pressure from the gearbox/crank area and the cam chain shaft (which goes into the rocker box). If that is clear then you will need to do a pressure test as this would be the easiest thing to do next. let us know how you get on drewps

was it a good show OG? the heaton one was Ok'ish ( too new methinks) might go to that, next year

get the battery charged forst and you may be ok!, my newish battery lasted 2 months and gave up. This made the bike run crap!! So now I always buy a decent named battery. drewps

Congrats Goff

a 1969 R3 2 stroke thing http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Yamaha/M...HEEL/parts.html or an rd350 1973 http://commdataconversions.com/YamahaPages/1973RD350.htm

no, you peg a top trumps card into the spokes and put those free kelloggs spoke beads on. and don't forget the tassles in the bar ends

that young guy who 1st sits down is gotta be foamy! he'll try anything, even for a banana!!

this bike is the one Foamy gets all "foamed" up about. spoke wheels, yamaha yellow, two stroke, ape bars chopper styling etc etc what is it? raleigh wisp engine, chopper frame with chipper rear wheel AWSOME!!

small update, got my tyres, but need a bung for the rear rim to finish that off. I have 2 weeks off starting next week so i'm gonna finish off those carbs and do the wiring and hopefully fit the new rear wheel.

there's some one in the UK ebay selling/breaking an xs500

Not sure i noticed this before, when I timed the left cyl it was on the LF (left fire) mark as per manual. When I go to time the right side, its on the RT (right timing) which is for the valves. I can't get near the RF mark and left it on the RT. It runs fine, but I need to know how this could happen, ive search my brain and its not comming up with the goods any ideas anyone? drewps

TIP; take off the throttle cable with the lifted carbs out of the frame to the right of the bike, reverse to reinstall cable.

now all we need next is a video of where you can stick your peeled banana !

fair comment and I have been deleting posts which do this. I can't be on 24/7 so some may slip the net!! drwps
