souds like the float heights have been moved or the jet is not closing properly. the float has a small metal tab on it and this closes the inlet valve. take the carb back off and remove the float bowl. take the float out and the jet that is attachet to it and check there is nothing blocking the hole. replace the float and check the height by measuring the height that they sit above the carb when it is turned upside-down. the height is adjusted by carefully bending the small metal tad holding the jet. i dont know the height they have to be set at but look up the haynes manual or google it. this height has got to be accurate. good luck

it was ordinary bulbs that was in it, try halfords they have a a plug-in.

yup....thats right. i had the same problem when i put mini indicators on the bike ....had to put bigger wattage in the back to slow them down.this was with normal bulbs. hope this helps

it will be something to do with the wattage-LEDs use less. was it the bulb that you changed to LED or what? if they were working OK before descride what you have done and we can back-track

did you change the indicators to LED's aswell??

there should be a number stamped/etched on them,you may see it better when you take them out, this is the ref. number if there is no ref. number just take the bearing(s) to a bearing specialists, there are plenty of them, and he should have one to suit. this will probably be cheaper than going to yamaha. hope this helps

side stand switch -located at the sidestand funnily enough make sure it is not sticking in when the sidestand is flipped up could also be a bad connection at the start button. also check she is out of gear as there may be some sort of cut-off so as she doesnt start in gear and jump of the stand, this would instead of a side-stand switch

now this is funny http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/2010/02/02/teenager-banged-up-in-cells-for-weekend-after-row-with-granny-s-parrot-86908-22012789/

get a number plate light from an old van or something similar and screw it to the numberplate and connect to the original wiring, this may get you throught the M.O.T.. as for the clock maybe it is still on european time and jetlagged

sorry to hear you have had no horn action in two years but if you get the bike going atleast you can throw your leg over that

as the start button was replaced i would start there and look at any other electrical work that you may have done. try tracing the wires from the battery up to the switch and see if the power is getting that far. check the kill switch to see if it is earthing. i find the best way to do this is to connect up a bulb (one side earthed, other side into the connection) as i dont have a multi-meter. hope this helps

found this on another site. This is a story about the bond formed between a little girl and a group of building workers. It's allegedly true and might help to confirm your belief in the goodness of people and that there is hope for the human race. A young family moved into a house next door to an empty plot. One day, a gang of building workers turned up to start building on the plot. The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and started talking with the workers. She hung around and eventually the builders, all with hearts of gold, more or less adopted the little girl as a sort of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had tea and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. They even gave the child her very own hard hat and gloves, which chuffed her to bits. At the end of the first week, the smiling builders presented her with a pay envelope - containing two pounds in 10p coins. The little girl took her 'pay' home to her mother who suggested that they take the money to the bank the next day to open a savings account. At the bank, the female cashier was tickled pink listening to the little girl telling her about her 'work' on the building site and the fact she had a 'pay packet'. 'You must have worked very hard to earn all this', said the cashier. The little girl proudly replied, 'Yes, I worked every day with Steve and Wayne and Mike. We're building a big house.' 'My goodness gracious,' said the cashier, 'And will you be working on the house again next week?' The child thought for a moment. Then she said seriously: 'I think so, providing those wankers at Jewsons deliver the f***ing bricks!!'

if they want to march let them out in the afgan desert towards the coalition guns if they dont like the western way ....head back east!!!!!!

we have had snow and ice here in donegal for the last fortnight....sick of it now. cant get up the lane without taking a run at it...and out through a blind junction onto the road...scary have not seen a gritter yet so when the snow melts it cannot get away and freezes on the road....its like a bottle. sitting at the window last night and watched a car slide into a big drain, the local farmer came to pull him out, 4x4 tractor, and got stuck on the ice, he had to get pulled out with another 4x4 tractor. meanwhile any other car that came down the hill had to head for a grass banking to get stopped. main thing is nobody hurt and only slight damage to the cars. its even too cold to work on the bikes in the shed.

thanks for that glad to see that they are cleaning out the canals 70quid + postage and do you think it works any better than the pogo stick i have on it just now? that is the problem with e-bay you dont really know what you are getting

1993 triumph trident 750, the 900 trident is the same. some of them have adjustable suspension fitted but there is a bracket on the frame for the adjuster. not sure about the trophy, tiger ect., i would say they are the same set-up.

buying anything over here costs an arm and a leg as there are hardly any breakers and the ones that are here are mostly in dublin. it was a different story when i lived in scotland. i may just have to look for another shock and see what i can do with it. cheers p.s. you are right about the mad bit

tried e-bay but the cost of carriage to the west coast of ireland doubles the price of the item. also looked at other shocks but there is a bit of fabrication required with removing rubber bushes and inserting large brass ones(these bushes are greased) i should be able to compress the spring and get that off o.k., its whats inside that im not too sure about. as it has lost its pressure there wont be any oil shooting out at me, it should just be like doing the fork seals on the front??? as for getting the pressure back in once it is rebuilt i was thinking of drilling a hole, tapping it and fitting a valve, the same type as a car tyre, and then adjusting the pressure to suit?? obviosly there will be oil in it aswell. am i mad???

if it is a sliding caliper make sure that it can slide back and forth easily. the best way to check this is to remove the caliper and bracket but leave the brake line connected and see if it slides on the pins. while you have the caliper(s) off check that the disks are not warped by clamping a rod or steel ruler to the fork leg and about a millimeter from the outside edge of the disk and spin the front wheel.

hi oldgit it for the triumph, it burst last year and i never got round to fixing it as the bike was never out due to weather and study. i took it off to get the dimensions from eye-to-eye ect. and then stuck it back on. by looking at it it seems to be the seal burst with hardening, or using too much gunk to clean the back end which has maybe hardened the rubber. the chrome is ok with no marks or pitting.

hello everyone and a merry christmas to you all. ive not been on for a while, final year of college, and i need a bit of advice on rebuilding a rear mono-shock. i have looked up the prices and for a standard shock the price is around £200-250 and being a poor student im skint. does anybody know where i can get seals and has anyone rebuilt one themselves?? thanks in advance. cheers

first rule of the road- wear a big pair of boots to put in a door panel next - put one on his chin for one of two reasons: firstly for being a f$*"!in' arsehole secondly if its not his car and its nicked at least you have dished a bit of justice! dont get me wrong i am not in no way an aggresive perso until i get behind the wheel or throw my leg over the bike. i am totally sick of the amount of pr*&$s on the road who do not give a shit about anybody else. my favorite trick when i am out shopping is to park next to the twat that thinks his car is that important that it has to have two parking spaces, taking up two bays so as nobody marks thier precious car, i park tight to thier drivers door so as they have no chance of getting in except over the passenger seat. i drive a 10 year old work van so another ding in side is not noticed. it workes just as good if you leave just enough space for them to get in the drivers door BUT THE VAN HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED FOR A MONTH OR TWO

why is it chained to the wall....Ahhhh no handbrake

there used to be a car running around ayrshire years ago with HAG 61S (haggis), i think it was its original number. others ive seen around glasgow M1 NCE (mince)and CAB 1T on a hackney. a nieghbour of mine bought an escort van with JKE 11Y, his name was john kelly, but i think he had a problem swaping it over as it was classed as a commercial. another was J111 MYO, put a black screw between the second and third 1, and one at the bottom right of the O, his name was jimmy quinn from beith.

found this on another site..... Rt Hon David Miliband MP Secretary of State. Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), Nobel House 17 Smith Square London SW1P 3JR 26/10/09 Dear Secretary of State, My friend, who is in farming at the moment, recently received a cheque for £3,000 from the Rural Payments Agency for not rearing pigs.. I would now like to join the "not rearing pigs" business. In your opinion, what is the best kind of farm not to rear pigs on, and which is the best breed of pigs not to rear? I want to be sure I approach this endeavour in keeping with all government policies, as dictated by the EU under the Common Agricultural Policy. I would prefer not to rear bacon pigs, but if this is not the type you want not rearing, I will just as gladly not rear porkers. Are there any advantages in not rearing rare breeds such as Saddlebacks or Gloucester Old Spots, or are there too many people already not rearing these? As I see it, the hardest part of this programme will be keeping an accurate record of how many pigs I haven't reared. Are there any Government or Local Authority courses on this? My friend is very satisfied with this business. He has been rearing pigs for forty years or so, and the best he ever made on them was £1,422 in 1968. That is - until this year, when he received a cheque for not rearing any. If I get £3,000 for not rearing 50 pigs, will I get £6,000 for not rearing 100? I plan to operate on a small scale at first, holding myself down to about 4,000 pigs not raised, which will mean about £240,000 for the first year. As I become more expert in not rearing pigs, I plan to be more ambitious, perhaps increasing to, say, 40,000 pigs not reared in my second year, for which I should expect about £2.4 million from your department. Incidentally, I wonder if I would be eligible to receive tradable carbon credits for all these pigs not producing harmful and polluting methane gases? Another point: These pigs that I plan not to rear will not eat 2,000 tonnes of cereals. I understand that you also pay farmers for not growing crops. Will I qualify for payments for not growing cereals to not feed the pigs I don't rear? I am also considering the "not milking cows" business, so please send any information you have on that too. Please could you also include the current Defra advice on set aside fields? Can this be done on an e-commerce basis with virtual fields (of which I seem to have several thousand hectares)? In view of the above you will realise that I will be totally unemployed, and will therefore qualify for unemployment benefits. I shall of course be voting for your party at the next general election. Yours faithfully, Gary Cobb E-farms R us.
