please help xt 125 speedo on fire
Probably a bad connection so it is shorting or your regulator isn't working and the speedo is taking the full magneto power.

1972 G7S weekend project(s)
Number 8 it is. Check that item 8 is not too loose. strip off item 15 It doesn't have to be really tight but and then you can get to item 8. You need a C spanner (people use a flat screwdriver and hammer but not recommended). Tighten up 8 until it is not stiff but not too loose. It squeezes the ball bearings which may have worn due to use or lack of grease. Personally I would change the head bearings. Taper ones are best if you can get them. if not, and you strip this down further, you will probably find that the ball bearings are in bad condition or even have some missing. Lots of grease around the ball bearings.

Skydiving Goes Wrong: 80-Year-Old Granny Falls Out Of Harness
I thought the video started off showing her after she had landed on her face.

yep. At the top of the frame neck there should be a large threaded ring that is normally tightened by a C spanner. It tightens up the head bearings when they start to wear. You may have to remove the large stem bolt and a cover to see it. It will be at the top of the part of yolk (triple tree) that goes through the frame.

starting??
Hi Dan. How old is the battery? If it is too old it may not be holding a charge. If it is just "hit and his" it sounds like a bad connection somewhere. Clicking normally means a relay. I would check and clean all the earths and terminals from the battery to the relay and then to the starter motor.

Looking for a 6 7/8 ish headlight
Does anyone know any Yams that would have a 6 7/8 or 7" headlight - trails type - same distance between the ears? I am looking for something that looks like a DT complete unit if they are 7 inches for the Suzi. UK spec or at least MOT'able, 6 volts with a pilot light. I am not asking for a shed raid, just something that I can get as a pattern part. There is some stuff on evilbay, but nothing grabs me. Thanking you all very much.

Riding/Lane Splitting in London
Gave up my London commute 5 years ago after about 30 years of the same. What used to get me were the cyclists just cutting out and the pedestrians with HUGE headphones on, crossing without looking.

We are used to getting out of tight spots. Brake shoes - rough and then clean the inner drum as described. Be careful to use a fluid that evapoates and does not lubricate. Wobble - although the head bearings aren't "rough or catchy", do they need just pinching up a bit? Forks - the springs go but change the oil just in case. It can't hurt. It looks fab.

XVS 950 Wiring of spot lights
"I assume that means connect the red wire from the switch to a +ive that is only live when the ignition is on? I am pretty sure that this is exactly what I had tried." Thats how I read the instructions. You should have a perm +ve to the battery, a perm -ve to the battery and then the red to the +, Try wiring up the perm + & - and the lights. temporary connect the red to the +ve of the battery to see if it works.

That can't be right. Blacks are -ve, white are +ve but you can't have a switch with one red wire on it! I have pulled up the instructions. red - feed from switched power all whites are +ve All blacks are -ve

Important health warning for women!
Do you have feelings of inadequacy ? Do you suffer from shyness ? Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive ? If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about - Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon is the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about yourself and your actions. It can help ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world that you're ready and willing to do just about anything. You will notice the benefits of Cabernet Sauvignon almost immediately and, with a regimen of regular doses, you can overcome any obstacles that prevent you from living the life you want to live. Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past - you will discover many talents you never knew you had. Stop hiding and start living. Cabernet Sauvignon may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use it. However, women who wouldn't mind nursing or becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it. Side effects may include: dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration, loss of motor control, loss of clothing, loss of money, loss of virginity, delusions of grandeur, table dancing, headache, dehydration, dry mouth, and a desire to sing Karaoke and play all-night rounds of Strip Poker, Truth Or Dare, and Naked Twister. WARNINGS: * The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may make you think you are whispering when you are not. * The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them. * The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may cause you to think you can sing. * The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may create the illusion that you are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people. Now - just imagine what you could achieve with a good Shiraz ! !

Check the way you have wired the relay. The relay is just an automatic switch. 2 circuits. The bike live wire in and out and the higher powered cables to the lights in and out positive only, normally.
