Fizzy at forty - Buxton 16 to 18 August 2013 LINKY

Is this the sequel to "The Piano"? I don't think I want to watch a film where 2 blokes are tickling the ivorys.

Not rich but I am normally quite flush, thank you. I would like to save as many as I can. Unfortunately I don't have the space at the moment to get into double figures but it is only a matter of time. I fully take your point about saving 2 for the price of 1 but someone has to save the bikes that are really beyond saving.

Death, disability or too old to ride only. I have got 37 years of biking in, so far. They haven't got me properly yet and I would have missed all of that if I decided that biking was too dangerous. I smoke too so I am trying to give the Grim Reaper the best possible odds I can.

I had some French fries once, didn't go well either. They went straight to my hips.

I'd like to know how he got a picture of you in your underwear too!

I think this is going to clash with the Fizzie weekend at Squires Tommy.

I would bin them. I wouldn't want to do a track day with flat spotted tyres. They are just duel sport/touring type tyres anyway. If they had been ultra stickies then someone may have been interested.

I think you need to be a paid member for this. Have a look here for more information LINKY

Not much of a "hello". Looks like a question to me.

Leather jacket - with vents, Kevlar jeans for me.

It's tough in the NHS at the moment.

Almost never unless it is a known fault. 17k is nothing for a 4 stroke, even a 125 one. Not sure about the YBR but most cam chained bikes have adjustable tensioners. You could look at this as well as getting the tappets spot on. Make sure you have the correct procedures to do both of these. It is easy to get both wrong.

Which one is he in the picture Drewps?

This must be the most rambling thread ever. Whilst I think it is great to keep a particular bike model info in one thread, can we put any new, workshop related questions in the correct area please.

Hill Street Blues. I liked the tramp cop that kept biting people.

Cheers Merv. I was wondering which way to go so, assuming that the 250 can start, I will get it running as it is. I notice the home made rear mounting bracket when I looked around it. I guess that alarm bells should have rung, I am still pleased with the bike. The seat foam and base are in very good condition and the tank, although it has a few dings, is solid and very clean inside. I'm that man. Dirty's the name, saving old bikes is the game! Do I really want loads of bald fat old blokes as admirers? Oh, sorry, I see what you mean . They are iconic bikes and there are some very nice ones around. I think Cynic got it right. A good usable classic and who cares about the cash. If it is another old stroker saved then I did good.

Hopefully either a bad earth or feed on that circuit. I would check the fuses, not for them being blown but for corrosion and a tight fit first. If you have a wiring diagram I would check if they all share something in common in the wiring.

I made the title descriptive so save people reading this and wasting 3 minutes which they will never get back. Before I took the SV for it's MOT and ending up buying my next project I ordered some stuff off fleabay for the SV. The plan was to give the SV a service and change the chain and sprockets. The stuff started to arrive and was fine. Yesterday a new chain breaker arrived. It would do the job but was not like the picture. I opened up a complaint case. Today a Rotacraft, superdooper, rotary tool set arrived, the plastic case face was cracked. I opened up a complaint case. To be fair both sellers have offered a full refund on the items return but I have negotiated a discount on both as I can't be ar5ed to send the things back and I would like to get the SV sorted by next weekend. End of rant. Ahhhhh, I feel better now.

Whats wrong with a Suzuki? Both of mine are fine.

What he said.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I think the issue you are having is that a lot of forums and places change the actual name of the image when you view it in certain ways. They substitute the "real" name for some long alphanumeric characters. Check the image name when you are trying to link it. It should end in .jpg .png .gif etc. The link you gave needs a membership to view it so I can't help much more. Remember to always use the full code so something like this: http://www.domain/folder/picture.jpg

I would be interested to see what he wants for the engine so if you could inquire please. Looks like I am looking for a 1A3-00**** one I think. Cheers John. The guy is a Dealer with a shop. He brought it because the owner died and intended to tinker with it himself. Would have been nice with the right engine and nicer with matching numbers but I could have spent over a grand on a restore one like that. I agree Jason. A good 400 lump will come along. Not as if I need to ride it to work on Monday.
