Sorry Kato that was only intended as a light hearted ribbing-trust me m8 we've 'all been there'-I had an old 1985 vauxhall cavalier-with a boot spoiler

High class-on here ? , an introduction isn't a 'requirement' its good manners-it helps to 'break the ice' and 'open doors' n'est pas ?

No name?, posting workshop questions in the 'Bar' isn't a great start either

Hi and welcome to the Y-O-C Mark, and welcome back to 2 wheels after your absence-good luck with your test when it comes around

Welcome to the 'ward' LLloyd

I'm not 100%-but apart from that emm, not sure of your bike, however it sounds like a diaphragm pump, does it sound like a Thuk Thuk Thuk Thuk ? or,, a Thak Thak Thak Thak ? go out and have a listen then come back in and tell us which one yep sounds like its OK, you'd be better checking with a fellow owner on this-the diaphragm may be 'holed' and causing this noise-or maybe its supposed to sound like that ?

I would have thought the K&N filter experience would have taught you something, just leave it be and enjoy, bike manaufacturers dont spend 1 Million dollars in research and development for you to spend £40 to 'soup it up'

Yep, fool instructions here buddy http://www.yamahaclub.com/forums/topic/24867-73-tx500-fork-seal-replacement-issue/page__pid__139256#entry139256

Try Renntec Martin

You've done it now, it'll be top of the range everything -in pink

Welcome to the 'ward' Bazz isn't it

fuel pumps do make a noise when the ignition key is turned-it should be more like a zzzzzzz

Have a look at Renntecs stuff Foamy-reasonably priced and well made, here's some engine bars in their 'clearance section', they have rear racks that have bars to attach panniers to http://www.renntec.co.uk/product1057.html

Could this be the tyre 'tracking' into the 'transition strips' on the road?, if there are a lot of patches there then its probably whats happening and lots of mimi-cambers, the XJ club have tried out lots of tyres and combinations, there probably are tyres out there that perform as good or better than the BT45- I dont have the money to experiment so I stick with them

Another two 'recent' visitors are sharing their birthdays today, many happy returns yooz guys 'Beezkneez' and 'Gabby'

This ?

Movies ?, hankies ?, aow no,,

A good braze Jase new paint and 'yellow decals'--the shame of it !, I dont think this would 'spoil' a very honest bike m8

One of Paul Mertons signed photographs

Did you use the small 'stillsons' Kev ? you should put some pics up for effect
