this maybe a daft question so please feel free to call me stupid, but i've gotta buy some bike boots, now here's the thing i'm a size 8 in work boots, and some styles of trainer but a 9 in shoe's and other trainer styles, i was looking at some boots on ebay but i dont know if i should buy an 8 or 9, do bike boots generally come up big, its been years since i last bought some so any advice please

we got a golden lab and he craps in the doggy olympics i'd need a mudguard off a lorry for that.

how did we get from mudguards for a yb100 to talking about shite lol

Does anyone know if the rs125 mudguard will fit the basic design is similar, heres a pic. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...bayphotohosting

Merv thanks for that it looks a good idea rather than trying to locate an original and to be honest who other than a yb100 nut would notice, cheers alec

Thanks Jim, i'll keep my eye on those, alec

hello everyone, i'm getting there gradually with my yb100 but i cant locate a front mudguard, has anyone got any ideas, i have been told they are the same as the fs1e but they are hard to find too, any ideas would be appreciated. cheers alec

Sorry forgot to say the problem was the oil settings were well out, fosdyke did the business i took it down the road and it runs LOVELY, he even followed me and clocked me at 55mph and still creeping up, so i definately need new speedo or cable not sure which .

A very big thanks to Fosdyke for coming round and sorting the problem out for me, he had it sorted in 5 mins, thanks again Geoff

Hi all, not sure if this is right place to post this but i'm sure someone will put me straight if its not, can anyone tell me the best sort of top box to put on my yb100, i've decided to go for practicality over looks and as i need to use the bike every day i thought it would be easier than keep wearing a backpack, i have a luggage rack on the bike but with so many on the market i was hoping to get some ideas on cheapest and most secure etc, cheers alec

hi that would be great if you wouldn't mind, i'm in chart sutton between headcorn and maidstone t/c i'm unemployed at the moment so am free nearly every day whenever is good for you, kindest regards alec

Ok an update, i removed baffles and cleaned them tried bike without and ran the same, stripped carb down cleaned jets with blow gun re-assembled with new gaskets and seals runs the same, advised by bike shop to turn the mixture screw in till it just pinches then wind out 1.5 turns still the same, had points checked and they look new no arcing and good spark, it still pulls back on high revs, need some advise or if local to maidstone help with carb adjustments, one change though the speedo is still reading approx 45-48 mph but my mate clocked me at 52mph so either my speedo or his is out, and he said there was white smoke untill i reached top speed. ANY IDEAS ANYONE, cheers alec

hi could you email the oil pump settins please the rest i'll have a go at tomorrow, many thanks alec, [email protected]

ticks over great good on fuel chokes off, just taken side casing off the engine to check carb and the paper gasket that goes around cover is nackered would this make a difference as i said i'm no mechanic, cheers for fast reply

Hi All, this my 1st post and its a confusing one for me, i've recentlyy purchased a yb100 deluxe and have a slight problem, the top speed is just over 45mph, it pulls away well in 1st and 2nd but in third it seems to pull back at high revs like its choking up then in 4th it runs ok but only reaches approx 45mph, i've put a new plug in and had a mechanic friend check the head was ok but that was all he would do as he's a car mechanic and didn't want to get involved in the bike, another friend of mine said to put 2 head gaskets on it to lift the head and get more compression but i'm no mechanic and i've never heard of this, can anyone help please, cheers alec
