Sounds like a faulty relay or bad earth. Clean up the terminals around the relay coils, battery and cdi, clean all the connections on the igniter side of the curcuit and give them a spray of plusgas.

I do. Never seen one in the flesh though. I thought all peds had to have pedals (MOtor PEDals), then they could lock them and then they didn't need them to still be a ped. Not sure of the year and I think '77 when the 250 law changed on L plates. Not really sure about that.

Hi and welcome to the forum Ryan. The gap between how much you can afford and the cost of a new bike

Don't buy the cheap ones. You would be better off with a cornflake box.

Most of the kits I have seen rarely have all the fight bits in. Are all the carbs leaking because that would be strange. Also where are they leaking from?

Hi and welcome to the forum Benny. Most of the crowd are friendly, just don't feed them raw meat.

I think Kev had the keys last. That probably explains a lot and last time I looked the cupboard was bare!! Just read your other post, sorry to hear your bad news.

Hello mate, you back?

You did remember the clocks went back didn't you?

After OG's suggestion of an ignition switch earth I would say it is an earthing problem somewhere else. The trouble is, where! I am not sure how many safety earths the bike has but things like, clutch, sidestands, kill switches all could affect this. I would disconect all of these first. check and clean the earth to coils and CDI and see where that leaves you. You have checked the pick up coil so the ignition (HT) coil(s) should be checked for Primary and Secondary resistance and then that leaves the CDI. My SV sits outside in all weathers under a cover.

Have you passed yet?

Take it back to the shop and make them eat it. Get your cash back and go to a decent dealer - if you can find one. If it's wrong, it's wrong. Not he cant be ar5ed to fix it.

Oh dear. I hope that isn't the case!! I have 30 Mb broadband and mine hangs due to "d1.openx.org" A PITA at fast BB speeds so how many people aren't bothering with slower connections?

Being such a sensitive creature, I am deeply upset.

Has the carb fallen off Those bars are superb.

Is that after a run or just on idle? Too oily for my liking.

It looks nice Drewps.

Are you saying I have a pumpkin head Drewps?

There are lots of DT mx guru's on the forum and I do believe that there are pattern harnesses available for some models. What I would say is read the linky first and you may get the help you need

We all look alike mate. I saw the picture, drew a dodgy tash on it and it ended up looking like me. Spooky eh!!

Lots of bikes do this. When you slow down try and pull the clutch lever in and out a SMALL amount as you change down. If the bike is in too high a gear when you have stopped, slowly let the clutch out so it just bites and then in and change down. Do this as often as you need to. Adjusting the cable, as Foamy said, will also help. this is easy to do and can normally be done with your hand (no tools). Just remember this alters the biting point of the clutch when you ride the bike after this has been done.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Washing up liquid contains salt that can turn the visor yellow and ruin coatings. It did used to work though. All visors seem to do this but I tend to ride with the visor not quite closed and that seem to clear it quickly. I use my finger..................................................................But that's another story..

I miss his Royal Barkingness too. Sent him a couple of PM's but no reply. Mind you, I would ignore me too if I could!! I hope he is OK, and if he is, I still say we go and camp in his garden until he posts again.
