  1. Easy to use. They come in different ranges and fitting sizes so make sure you get one that is within the range you need and has a fitting that will fit on any existing sockets. Normally dialed in at the bottom, they click when the correct torque is set and "break" if you try and over tighten. Remember to wind out the wrench after use to maintain it's accuracy (loosen the adjuster at the bottom). Normally come with a guide to convert different measurements so between pound feet, newton metres etc.
  2. Can't I just ride around the block a few times again and then get a big boys (and girls) licence?
  3. I just can't get it out of my mind......................
  4. Most bolts can be replaced with stainless ones - be careful if any are high tensile. I would remove the swingarm and do it properly. Failing that, rub down, coat with something like Jenolite or Furtan (look on fleabay). paint with a brush version of Hammerite direct to rust smooth.

    These communications are normally started by people who can't hack anybody. I think they get off on seeing if it goes global. A bit like Chinese whispers. I prefer Linux on servers.
  6. Another bulletproof suzi. Excellent.
  7. Hi and welcome to the forum.
  8. I would rub the parts down, spray with a plastic primer, spray with a colour and then finish with a lacquer.
  9. I think this was answered in a previous post of yours The most likely causes are; the carb is not assembled properly or you have an airleak. High revs with them slowly coming down and not idling properly are classics airleak symptoms. Try and keep the same issues in one thread as people can read the full history and see what has been suggested and what has been eliminated. Running a 2 stroke lean will hole the piston.

  16. Hooray . I am back at work tomorrow and was concerned that I would have nothing to do.
  17. I think the CSS file is playing up. Not working for me on Firefox or IE.

    Moved to the classics section. Goobsac - you might consider saying hello in the new members section. It often helps get replies to questions.
  19. Just added another link above - one for the XT, one for the YBR
  20. I think they are the same engine Foamy.
  21. 10 minutes to fit too, John. Cheers. 9 miles - If you look at the last picture the total mileage is under the large 0 (MPH display). I didn't get a chance to ride it today.
  22. I don't understand rim tape, but that is just my view. The changes really tidy up the rear and gives the bike a very clean, rear, look. Like the Scorpion end can very much .
  23. Whatever you do, you will need to tell your insurer to make sure you are covered. If you don't, then you will effectively be riding without insurance. If you are making more HP than your license allows, then you are riding without a license too. I don't thing Slice inferred you are a "bodger", just that all of the mods may make the bike un-insurable for you or outside of your license restrictions. Getting caught with anything dodgy will put a stack of points on your license or open you up for someone to make a civil claim against you in the case of an accident. What you do to your bike is down to you, just make sure you are 100% legal.
