I would go with option 2

Have you had the relay arm powder coated with the bearings in ?

I know a goodish welder in Dukinfield who could fix the hole if your stuck for getting it fixed. Station Street Cars Exhaust repairs Station street (off Warf St) Dukinfield Tel: 0161-308-3700 Ask for Andy You need any help give me a shout, I'm over the hill from you in Mossley. Vez.

Cheers mate. The heat gun worked a treat. Heated the silencer up till it was warming the front room and left it to cool overnight. Bad bit is, tried the front pipe for size this morning and the end part that connects to the silencer doesn't sit in the right place. Now that can be one of three things, either the welder got it wrong, which is highly unlikely as the grind marks i put on line up perfectly. Possibly the bike is actually bent after the crash. or i did not fit it on right as it was early and i was short on time. Fingers crossed its the latter, and when i fit in on properly it all lines up .

When i repaired my DT125RE i had to email/phone about 4 different Yamaha dealers before i got a response. Straightening the bars is not a great idea depending how bad they are. Firstly its a pain in the arse to get them anywhere near like they were originally. And secondly the bends could have weakened the metal, which could leave some poor sod who buys the bike at risk and thats just not right tbh. Vez.

We just watch, its for older trials bikes. (although it was tempting to ask for a ride around the quarry/farm it was on) http://www.yamahaclub.com/forums/topic/21044-red-rose-classic-trials/ < some pictures from the last one. Vez.

Try here, you can fit one yourself or have a guy fit it for you.http://www.motorbikealarm.co.uk/node/47 . they even come with the Peter Kay voice if that floats your boat. Vez.

Have a search on youtube, google etc. for Module 1 and 2, there are some good videos that show you what to expect. Vez.

I have to ask, do you kiss it goodnight while you tuck it in? j/ks Good review The clocks are different than the 07 model i had, look better imo. You will be grateful of the plastic bits if/when the rust starts, especially the part on the exhaust. The old one was chrome and looked nasty compared to yours. Like the new scoops on the front, definite improvement. Brakes weren't the best iirc, but from the sound of it you should have the dealer take a look at them, having the squeak as well sounds iffy so its best to get it checked out. Vez.

So you should feel guilty and 65-70? is it down hill all the way ?

Last one was a good day out, ill be taking food and coffee this time though.

Stuck for anywhere decent to put the front pipe tbh. The silencer can always go another coat if the heat gun fails.

Its in the green house, for now at least. Done my silencer also, but may have to fit that sooner. Was wondering if a blast with a heat gun would make it cure faster, what you think ?

So got some spare time this weekend and prepped the exhaust for painting. Blow torch and wire wheel for the win!! After stripping the paint back there was some weird marks that the wire wheel wouldn't shift, half hour with the sander sorted that out. 4-5 coats of OG's tried and tested Plastikote bbq paint later and its looking good. Just need to let it dry and fit it.

Pictures/video or it didn't happen

I don't think it would be wise to add 125cc bits, even if they are available. The bike would not like it and probably wouldn't last long anyway. Beside the law dictates you are only allowed to go 30mph at 16( can't say i agree with that idea tbh) It can suck being on a 50cc i know, but it won't be long before you can jump on a 125. And the "i only want to cruise sometimes" syndrome will start all over again with the 125 after a short time, believe me . Welcome to the Forums btw Karl. Vez.
