  4. might be worth while stipping the carb down and giving it a good clean to make sure there are no blockages. won't do any harm
  5. heard on the local radio this morning about a tragic accident in the north over the weekend. i looked it up and and there was more than one accident. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/8253049.stm stay safe guys and girls
  6. sounds like it is pulling in air somewhere. ckeck the rubber gromet between the carb and barrel and the carb and filter, also if there are any pipes came loose. worth having a look to see if the air filter is sitting tightly in the air box.

    Joe wanted to buy a motorbike. He doesn't have much luck until, one day he comes across a Harley with a 'For Sale' sign on it. The bike seems even better than a new one, although it is 10 years old. It is shiny and in absolute mint condition. He immediately buys it, and asks the seller how he kept it in such great condition for 10 years. "Well, it's quite simple, really," says the seller, "whenever the bike is outside and it's going to rain, rub Vaseline on the chrome. It protects it from the rain." And he hands Joe a jar of Vaseline. That night, his girlfriend, Sandra, invites him over to meet her parents. Naturally, they take the bike there. But just before they enter the house, Sandra stops him and says, "I have to tell you something about my family before we go in. When we eat dinner, we don't talk. In fact, the first person who says anything during dinner has to do the dishes." "No problem," he says. And in they go. Joe is shocked. Right smack in the middle of the living room is a huge stack of dirty dishes. In the kitchen is another huge stack of dishes. Piled up on the stairs, in the corridor, everywhere he looks, dirty dishes. They sit down to dinner and, sure enough, no one says a word. As dinner progresses, Joe decides to take advantage of the situation. So he leans over and kisses Sandra. No one says a word. So he reaches over and fondles her breasts. Still, nobody says a word. So he stands up, grabs her, rips her clothes off, throws her on the table, and makes love to her right there, in front of her parents. His girlfriend is a little flustered, her dad is obviously livid, and her mom horrified when he sits back down, but no one says a word. He looks at her mom. "She's got a great body," he thinks. So he grabs the mom, bends her over the dinner table, and has his way with her every which way right there on the dinner table. Now his girlfriend is furious and her dad is boiling, but still, total silence. All of a sudden there is a loud clap of thunder, and it starts to rain. Joe remembers his bike, so he pulls the jar of Vaseline from his pocket. Suddenly the father backs away from the table and shouts, "All right, that's enough, I'll do the f**cking dishes!"

    found this on another site Some years ago, in a small coastal Irish community, Paddy married a woman, Maggie, half his age, All was well at first until Maggie took delivery of a ‘woman's’ magazine and began to read things about sex. It soon became clear that she had never climaxed during sex and, according to her Grandmother, all Irish women are entitled to a climax once in a while.. To resolve the problem, Paddy and Maggie went to see the Veterinarian since there was no doctor within thirty miles who could be relied upon not to gossip. However, the Vet didn't have a clue about people. But he did recall during hot summers, his mother and father would fan a cow (with a big towel) that was having difficulty breeding. Apparently, this cooled her down and helped her to relax. So he recommended they hire a strong, young man to wave a big towel over them while they were having sex. This, the Vet said, should cause the young wife to cool down, relax and possibly achieve the sought after climax. So the couple hired a strong young man from Dublin to wave a huge bath towel over them as the Vet suggested. After many efforts, Maggie still had not climaxed so they went back to the Vet who suggested she change partners and let the young man have a go while Paddy waved the big towel. They tried it that night and Maggie went into wild, screaming, ear-splitting climaxes, one right after the other for about two and a half hours. When it was over, Paddy looked down at the exhausted young man and in a boasting voice shouted, “And that, me auld son, is how ya wave a feckin' towel"

    found this and thought it looked good for the price http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/motorbikes/989089 it may not be as nice close up though.
  11. put the 21 watts in the back as they will be brighter so less chance of being rear-ended
  12. had the same problem with mini-indicators and put 21watt bulbs in the back and left the 6 watt in the front. this cut the flashing speed to normal but it didnt blow any fuses. is this the same set-up as you have tried?

    try and weld a nut on top of the rounded head and the heat will help loosen the bolt. remember and disconnect the battery

    tried that dont have many places here that do hoses and its mainly farm or JCB machines so he never had connections that small. made one up tonight with two small flexi-hoses and a copper brake pipe in between it will get me on the road for now

    needed a hydraulic flixi-hose for the clutch on the van so tried a couple of the local car parts shops and was told it was only available from nissan. went to the dealer thinking its a genuine part so maybe 25-30 euro (£20+) he looked it up and came back with a price of 86 euro (about £70) for a length of hose about a foot long and a connection on each end, where the f*%k do they get these prices from???

    there should be a small indentation that the ball-bearing sits into to keep the kickstart in place, its this that you drill. if you take the circplip and washer off then slide the the kick start off you will see it. watch when you take it off that the bearing dosent shoot out.
  18. shed hermit replied to up.yours's post in a topic in Classics
    try drilling out the recess (slightly) where the ball-bearing sits and a stronger spring.
  19. its a mangle-wurgelar that connects to the hurdy-gurdy. they were only fitted to limited edition bikes. is it left hand drive???

    try clamping the pipe that is leading to the opposite caliper up near the top, i had a problem like this before and it seemed to work.
  22. its vibrations caused by a slight imbalance where the sin-waves are not compensated by the cosine-waves........ an example of this is an army breaking step (not marching) over a bridge....... hope that explains it
  23. is there a bleed screw on the bottom of the fork legs? if so get the bike up on a stand toget the front wheel clear of the ground then unscrew them, remove the top nuts(slowly-big spring in there) and let the oil drain out. refit screws and fill with the correct amount of oil(dont know the spec or amount for your bike) if it is still too soft then add a little more oil to them(equal amounts) AIR COMPRESSES MORE THAN OIL = MORE OIL LESS AIR=HARDER FORKS if there are no blead scews then you need to remove the forks, remove the top nut(slacken it first before unclamping the forks) and do them as above. if you are taking them off then put new fork seals in at the same time this may save you doing them in six months or so. good luck
  24. same way for a clutch, open nipple and hose into a jar of fluid, squeeze, close, release. do this and try to find where the old fluid went, check in the slave cylinder, on the engine, as it may be leaking in there. and no need to tell you WATCH THE PAINTWORK good luck
  25. AAAAH the youth of today. you are blessed with the internet, in my day, when noah owned a ship yard , we worked by word of mouth. i know its a balls being 16, but it wont be long until you are 17 and can go and do your full test so save your money and get a bike that does what you want,dont waste it on an xtra 1 MPH. its not all about speed, its about being safe!! good luck
