  1. Surprisingly there are still a lot of spares available. The seats are available from Thailand as 1 piece. most of the stuff will have to come from the States but still a lot of NOS around. Exhausts seem to be scarce but I have only been researching for a week while it has been up on fleabay. I just hope the frame is OK as it looks like it is pressed and I hope there is not too much missing on the side that isn't shown.
  2. What I think I know about it: Needs to be registered in the UK - but he said he has the import papers. It runs - I haven't seen it, let alone heard it. It obviously has a few parts missing. It is local to me. It is a Yami It is a 2 stroke It is supposed to be a 1965 model It is a YA6 125cc It should look like this - taken before the snow. But as I said, I haven't seen it yet.
  3. I think I have brought my next project. Off fleabay, I have won it but I haven't seen it or checked the paperwork so only "might" at the moment. USA import, not yet registered in the UK either. Oh dear!!
  4. Hi and welcome to the forum. Have a look here LINKY
  5. You really need to be posting this in the workshop section. Go to your Yami dealer and order one of these LINKY
  6. Hi and welcome to the forum. At least you won't be affected by the cold weather while you do your spannering but I am not sure how well the carpet will survive.
  7. My car said minus five degrees this morning. It has been light flakes and trying to snow since 9am in sunny Nottingham.
  8. The SNP want to stay in the EU. Salmond has already lied about EU entry and he is not in charge yet.
  9. To calculate a non restricted bike do the following. Check the bike has a minimum engine size of 395cc Check the BHP is between 33 Bhp and 46.6 Bhp Find the BHP and convert this to KW. To do this multiply the BHP by .75 so basically it is 3/4 of the BHP Find the weight of the bike in KG Divide the bike weight by the KW. This should be .2 or under. Example. ( these are rough calculations) DRZ400 BHP 39 Weight 133KG Engine size 398cc KW - 39 X 0.75 = 29.25 Power to weight - 29.25 / 133 = 0.2199 So it passes on the engine size (over 395cc) It passes on the KW ( Max 35KW) It fails on the power to weight (0.2 or under) With a slight restriction and certificate, it would pass.
  10. I think you will find that Hitler tried that in 1939. The faster we are out of Europe the better.
  11. Extra tax money safety. Once Brussels starts interfering again we might have to all give up.
  12. Yep, I missed that bit. And each license is separate so if you take a moped test first and step up when you can you will need to do 4 tests now.
  13. Read the whole description and Q&A's.. LINKY
  14. Hi and welcome to the forum Mikey. Post a help thread in the workshop.
  15. But I think that an A2 includes A1 but not A. So a A1 pass gives you A1 bikes to ride. Over 17 YOA. An A2 pass gives you A1 and A2 bikes to ride. Over 19 YOA. And a A pass gives you everything. Over 24 YOA. Does that even make sense. So if you are 16 to 17 it is mopeds only You cant ride anything bigger than a 125 until you are 19 or over and you cant get a non restricted license until you are 24.
  16. Hi and welcome to the forum Haley.
  17. Another interesting point; Automatic and semi-automatic motorcycles If you pass your test on a motorcycle with automatic or semi-automatic transmission you’ll only get a full licence for those types of motorcycle. So if you pass on a "wind up and go", you can't ride a manual bike with gears.
  18. min 395cc - between 33 Bhp and 46.6 Bhp power to weight ratio is set at a maximum of 0.2 Kw/Kg The "mid" license is a A2 LINKY
  19. The trailie market seems a bit strange to me. I love them (but have little leg syndrome). The modern ones seem to fit into 2 categories for me. 1) much too tall b4lls out 2 stroke screamers 2) just a little underpowered 4 strokers I had a XT350 which was really slow, a SLR650 which was fine but I just needed a little more power but OK up to 70 and I do like the XT660's but have never ridden one.
  20. Hi and welcome to the forum.
  21. No worries. Given your age, I agree with 2wheels. Do the new "A" category test (600cc plus motorcycle that produces at least 53.6 Bhp) and never worry about it again. It is only going to get harder and more expensive. I can't remember the cost of the test back when I took it but I seem to remember that my car lessons were £2.75 each.
