Outrageous! Not fit to be on the road Licence removed for one year, then made to take a test agin. Any further offences, licence gone for good Should be the same for the phone twats

Well done

You never know what you may find if you overhaul the brakes Look what turned up in one of my front pistons An M8 hex head screw. The thread on it was only the same length as the thickness of the piston end wall, and it had been drilled and tapped into the piston Why? Chuff knows, but I'm glad I did the work

Have to say, I rode home from work naked (well, no jacket anyway) twice last week. Just felt great

check along the chain path top and bottom, looking for any grooves where the chain has been rubbing

Could be that the front brake pipes are swelling up as you apply the pressure. You can get braided hoses to significantly reduce that Could be moisture in the fluid allowing the fluid to compress Might benefit from full service of front brake system, seals/pistons/fluid change/pipes/master cylinder kit If youve no record of any of that work previously being done, then the above parts maybe 17 years old

get it taxed, mot'd and ride it thats what its for

2 outlets vacuum operated Yes?

I have to Drill out one of these buggers as its so rotten the Hex key cant grip the sides and just rounds the endges. Small tip, generally works though Rounded socket cap screws can be removed by using a Torx key. select the next size up over the last one to just fit into the hex, tap it all the way in to the bottom of the hex, socket and ratchet on the Torx drive end. Cuts its own path into the socket head

careful taking it off, then get it rewound http://www.elliottmc.co.uk/products/99 other options http://www.bbbikeshop.co.uk/acatalog/Browse___Best___Buy_Yamaha_Alternators_142.html http://www.electrexworld.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Generators_32.html

then keep the originals for mot time

Closest I've got is 19 x 25 Glad you've got sorted

I'll have a trawl around the cave

Let me know the OD and the thickness

Locking up the Virago at work Friday, slight reddish tinge on the hub. Got home lifted front wheel off the deck, sure enough, bearing on the way out. Two new bearings and a seal bought and fitted yesterday morning. Then in the afternoon, on the Radian, fitted new wheel bearings and seals front and rear, new rear brake shoes, plus re-fitted the wheels with two new Bridgestones on em, brakes/chain adjusted. Bowled along at my own pace, several brews along the way, radio on, nobody bothered me Had a good day

The electrical schematics are in section 7 of the service manual

Really? Neither of mine leak when its hot

3 for sale on the bay at the mo http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=&_osacat=422&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xyx600&_nkw=yx600&_sacat=422&_from=R40 midlate 80s parts bin bike, sold shed loads in the states due to bargain price, a fair few made it over here, starting to fetch a little money now Decent ride, nice handling, sporty, quite sharp above 5000rpm, tanks are hard to find, but I've managed to find all the parts I've needed so far

Best advice I can give to you, given that you appear to know nothing of how the hydraulic BRAKE system works, is buy a Haynes manual for the bike and read up

E bay

Not sure what you mean by "middle seals" Some calipers are made of 2 halves, bolted and dowelled together, mostly they come with advise never to seperate Unless there is evidence of leakage there, I think Id be inclined to just replace the pistons/seals/fluid, and probably the master cylinder seals too

Whoooaaa.. I got around the plug connectivity problem by carefully cutting away the yam plug from the spades inside of it. The spades then push into the VWP plug and lock in using the tabs Do the same at the other end Make up a lead using the other ends of the VWP plugs Hope that makes sense That means you can buy a RR from M&P for example, and make up an intermediate lead, VWP sell all the spades/cable/heat shrink etc to do it

I like em, but the headlights always remind me of Johnny 5
