That is a right, royal Pain in the a***. Glad you could salvage it. I got the dreaded crinkle on the last piece of the TS. I had to strip it right back. I must say that there is a distinct lack of pictures for this project John!!

Hi and welcome to the forum. I can't help with the carb, sorry.

Try messaging Paul Dawkins. Very helpful chap.

MT-01 - that would make an interesting first big bike.

This made me think. Will Carole Nash (and other insurers) still insure bikes in Scotland if the Scottish people vote to leave the UK? Would a bike brought in Scotland have to be re registered and shown as an import if brought by someone in NI, Wales or England?? Tis a funny old world.

Valve clearance adjustment should be made with the engine cool, at room temperature. When the valve clearance is to be measured or adjusted, the piston must be at Top Dead Center (T.D.C.) on the compression stroke. Take the plug out and when you turn the engine the compression stroke is when the piston is rising (air coming out).

My son had a Jeep Grand Cherokee, very nice. What about a Merc G wagon?

Great pictures. Some might say ugly but it is "of it's age" It looks clean and not messed with which is always a good start.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Second best OS Microsoft ever produced. The first was windows '98.

There were 100's of the 8 upgrade DVD's in a bin at Tescos's a few weeks ago. £49 I believe. I am not going to bother. I would if I was on Vista.

Specs for a SR125 - if it helps Ignition timing (B.T.D.C.) 9 deg at 1,300 r/min Advanced timing 29 deg at 5,500 r/min Valve clearance (cold): Intake valve 0.05 to 0.09 mm Exhaust valve 0.11 to 0.15 mm

I am not sure if these were officially imported into the UK. The ex valve is the one towards the front of the bike and the in valve is to the rear. I have the tappet and other specs for the sr125 I can post when I get home but I am not sure if these are the same. It may help though.

This is a great intro spoilt by sarcasm. People don't owe you free help and advice but they are more likely to give it to people who are polite and follow the netiquette of the forum.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Ahhhh the great smell of 2 stroke. It can't be beaten!!

It may be beneficial to read this thread There is lots of great advice on the forum and experience shows that new members who post an intro get better and more replies.

A bike is a bike is a bike, to me. Until last weekend I was in the same position (Yamless but not bikeless).

Hi and welcome to the forum Panos.

Not that it may help in your circumstance but something like smartwater, datatagging or the likes would show where any parts turned up. I got a bottle of something like it when I insured the TS with carole Nash. Each major part can be marked and each has a unique number which can then be referenced back to the owner. Not fool proof but better than nothing. While people are prepared to buy whole bikes without any paperwork, this will never go away.

Hi, Could I ask that you have a read of this thread please thank you.

2A8 is a DT125MX from 1978......... DT125A/C from 1989

Sorry to hear that. Does your household insurance cover the loss?

Same principle (kind of) as a monorail. Not hi tech but the bloke is the star. Like Bollywood meets Frank Spencer.
