Any specs. for replacement bolts/fasteners for xs360 caliper?
you can either get one from Mr yamaha, (for the 9 or 6) or go to local shop and buy a normal high tensile steel bolt. people use stainless which is not as ductile (ie the threads don't stretch as much to hold the part on)

SR125 Help
i'd just weld on a large nut on both problems and the heat and extra leverage quickly undo's them. if you have a welder its free as well!!

dvlc lost my records
Merv, the dvla won't even look at photocopies. best (and illegal) advice is to "lose" your licence and apply for a new one. then if it's wrong you can " find" your old one!!

Just a quickie
eh? do you mean fork seals? just the one on each side under the dust cover, a bitch to take out if they are original, need heat and covered leverage to prevent the alloy top from marking! please do a search as I talked someone through this earlier this year

Something bugging me.
shouldn't have any buzzing that's why. I suspect a sticking starter solenoid or a poor electrical connection somewhere. Use contact spray on all your connections. unless of course its the sound of your engine

xs360 air cleaner joints
the mm quoted refers to the model carbs, to which the 250 is physically different from the 34mm ones and not just the venturi size, which incidentally, what Cy says is correct!

dessert island
A man is stranded in the desert and has not eaten or drunk anything for nearly 36 hours. He is about to die. Amazingly, as he stumbles through the sand, he comes to three market stalls. The man (half-thinking he must be hallucinating) approaches the first stall and demands: "I need water, sell me some water." "Sorry, Sir," replies the stall owner, "I only sell custard." The man, visibly taken aback, goes up to the second stall and again asks for water. "I'm afraid I only sell sponge cake and cream," replies the second stall owner. The man turns in disbelief to the final stall and begs "Please, I need water now or I'll die." "Sorry Sir, I only sell hundreds and thousands," replies the final stall owner. His fatigue momentarily forgotten the man demands: "You mean to tell me that the three of you all own market stalls in the middle of the desert and none of you sell water?" "I know, Sir," says the first stall owner, "it's a trifle bazaar."

doctors visit
A bloke goes to the doctor, and says, "Doctor, I feel like I’ve got something lodged in my arsehole." So the doctor takes a look and says, "Yes you’re right, I can see something." He gets his tweezers and pulls out a £50 note. "What’s that doing in there," he asks the bloke. "Ive got no idea doc, but is there any more?" Armed with the tweezers, the doctor has another look. And pulls out another £50. Then a £100. Then £50, then £20, another £100, and so on for about 10 minutes. Finally he says "I think that’s the lot now." The bloke says "How much was there anyway?" The doctor totals it up and says, "There was £1980." The bloke thinks for a minute and says, "Yeah, that’d be about right. I wasn’t feeling too grand."

Sportster Fuel Tank Modification
its not the gas that is cleaner, its the sediment from your tank, the gas stations tank (especially after a tanker has delivered fuel) I never buy from a station if I see a tanker there!!

Tiger Woods
saw one of the directors checking out his newly delivered BM in the car park the other day. Said to him I saw him using the indicators and him thinking "that's the last time I use those", he said he also ripped out his rear view mirror as that was redundant. true ....too true!!
