    I use the biggest tyre levers I could find, rim protectors and make sure the tyre is warm. you also need to break the bead, just standing on it should be enough. I had some old wheels and had to drive (carefully) the car over the tyres (which were old and scrap anyway) you will also need lube to slip the tyre back on. I use olive oil soap as petrolium based stuff will affect the tyre. Personally I would just replace the inner tube as they are only £5 or so. drewps

  9. looks like they are strip led's which are made into a circle to go inside the headlamp nacelle around the lamp itself. new BMW cars look similar. i would say they stick on and go on instead of the pilot lamp

    stainless is that because of the chrome content, alas there is different types of stainless, food grade having the most chrome content thus harder to manufacter and bend/weld/drill etc. I have motad "stainless" which show rust in some parts.
  12. I would go with original jets and maybe raise needle 1 position or pack with washers if there is no groove for this!!
  13. Just a heads up for UK peeps. Aldi have got ultrasonic 600ml baths for sale on thursday 15th Jan for £17.95. great for carbs, screws, OG's false teeth etc
  14. check float bowl height first, maybe that it too low and not supplying fuel. using the choke bypasses the pilot system so I would check for blockages there!! check sparkies if they are wet or white to get an idea what is happening in combustion.

    there is a product called "blu away" which gets rid of and reduces the blueing effect.

    depends on the colour, it used to be just PJ1 but they stopped making yamaha silver and the only silver i can get is from YAMBITS via ebay or shop. for black its PJ1 every time!! sprays directly on clean alloy and is heat proof.
