would a nobbily tire work better in the winter e.g. snow, frost, and sludge (not quite melted/frozen snow) ? ......im in need of a new set.....but need to use the bike to get to work. been slipping all over the place the last week or so. and didnt think of nobbilies till reading this thread.

there going to be stiff. your best bet would be to see if you can undo them 1st. i tried taking mine off a while ago.......ended up braking 3 spanners then rounded it off.

just use some clean fuel from ur tank in a bowl. then u can pop it back in when ur done. if you think its your fuel line then best to open the bottom of the carb like i said before and check for bits of dirt......but if your worried about the drain screw then dont use it! just undo the bottom of the carb over a bowl to catch the fuel.(its a little more messy) there is about a cups worth in there, but you can always put it back in the tank. i dont have a picture m8, but if you post one up of your carb and number the parts your not sure about then i can tell you what they are. it might be worth checking your fuel pump, there will be a pipe comming from the rubber splitter that the carb sits in (in between the cylenders) that pipe will go into the fuel pump, it pumps air in and out of the pump which makes it work. check that its not got a hole in it. the prime on the tap runs fuel straight through the pump and into the carb , the "on" dont let fuel through unless the pump is pumping and reserve is like the prime and lets fuel flow straight to the carb. so im thinking its a problem with the pump or the air valve in the tank.

it was a good show plenty to be looking at lol, i went on the sunday and had a blast on the yamaha off road experiance, kwikasfucky .......made me smile. a couple of moto gp riders trying to beat the time on the silverstone experiance.....and that crazy 13 year old was insane! all in all a good day.......might bring a proper camera next year and get some girly's to pose for me

id say no point trying to repair her, (too complicated) just run her into the ground then pay the scrap man to pick her up, go out and get ur bike then start looking for a replacement but in the meantime those £1 micro meals and internet porn should keep you happy as well as your nice shiney new bike.........just think no more soaps or jungle antics put apon you and a bed to yourself without an elbow in ur back.......its the simple things in life that count.

hmmm hard to tell... i know its just a very slight pulse that goes to the cdi (or ecu .....the black box) but im no good with electrics......ur best bet would be to get an LED bulb and hook that to it.......you should be able to see it pulse as the volts go up and down. and yes you would posably need new gasket if you took the left engine case off. but if you know what wires are where then u should be fine. ....... i still think its the pilot jet in the carb ......and dont worry you cant mess it up unless you start turning the wrong screws but its quite simple tools: small (+) screwdriver, small (-) screwdriver, rag, fuel container/ (cup) take the carb off the rubber splitter, turn the petrol off. there will be a pipe comming from the bottom of the carb, thats the drain, there will be a screw near it which lets you drain the fuel. undo it and drain the fuel into the cup then undo the 4 screws at the bottom of the carb, take the cover off (use the rag) and you will see some brass pipes and 2 bits of plastic held together with a thin bit of metal. there will be 1 big brass pipe in the middle and a smaller one next to it, undo the smaller one and blow through it (thats the pilot jet) then pop it back in and undo the top of the big one and blow through it (thats the main jet) pop it back in then put the cover on and put the screws back in, make sure the drain is closed, put carb back on the rubber splitter, and turn the tank on to prime, wait 5 seconds then try and start the bike. thats all there is to it!.

hi kelum ok .... the stator is the big round coil that the manetic flywheel spins round, in the crank case there will be a little black plastic "coil?" ....thats the pulse coil, im not sure which wire it is but it will only be 2 or 3 wires max! where as the stator plug will have 4 thick wires. im not sure what the above tex is on about......sounds like IGN B+12 stands for ignition (black) = the positive 12v ??? but dont quote me on that. just a question....have you cleaned the carb? i know you say its an electric problem but its sounding to me that your pilot jet is blocked.... i got something similar the other week, bike felt like it was miss fireing and would "judder" (only just felt it) when slowing down, also allot of carbon buildup, turned out to be a blocked pilot jet. so just check it out as to your electrical problem ur best bet would be to spend a weekend taking the left side crank case off and having a look inside. that way you will know whats what, then go from there.

well safe to say if i ever get round to doin my full licence then il be building something like that to potter about in ............might even get it built then go for my licence .......

u want to end up with something like this http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/216/adrenalinegh1.jpg/ to be honest iv been looking into it myself recently and found that its quite simple to construct from scratch, the hardest part is deciding how you want to sit on the thing as this is one of the most crucial factors b4 u can build it. have a look at quadbike suspensions, with custom mounts for the hubs and brake setup robbed from a jag or something (4 pot calipers and vented disks to make sure you can stop) then make them longer so its more of a f1 car look then base the suspension round the engine with a main structure for the rider, then something like a motorbike single shock setup for the rear , put in a jackshaft wire it all up with the controlls and away you go! personaly id save and save till i could get a 360 rear tire (phat!) and put that on ........... would make a nice drifting machine and be quite stable compared to the normal trike design (2 wheels at back)

why have you gone with a mini? (just curious) there getting rare now and most of them need allot of work to get them to a decent standard due to the amount of rust that eats through them. plus putting a bike engine in something thats rotting isnt going to do you any favours! you would be better off getting a cheep modern car to play with, that way you know its gonna be ok. something small but under 10 years old. as to an engine the r1 is good, a bussa would be better but depends what ur after if you stick to a 1000cc then ur looking at a £1000 price tag at least. 600cc engines get a bit cheeper but you would have to look into the bhp to wheight ratio to get an idea of whats gonna happen. have you considerd making a reverse trike? would be easyer but still include the enginearing and mechanical side will work out cheeper as you dont need a specific engine (a 600cc would power it all day long and you can pick up an engine for £300 on ebay)

cant u just hire one? then take the knackerd generater part to the scrappys weigh it in then sell the motor on e-bay for 150 quid or so, should get u about 180 - 200 quid to put towards a new generator.

well can u aford to re-do the engine if it goes pop? if not then u better be safer than sorry. if you have the money to spend then why not? also look into new bearings, and defo make sure that you have good oil flow!

whats the radar range of the tornado jet? bet it locked onto the police radar, causing a fauls readout b4 jamming the signal. ......he he he ..........shame the pilot had some common sence lol

iv not heard of it but it should be ok

ul need to take the left hand engine casing off, drain the oil over night,remove sprocket and gear lever then just undo all the bolts (there are a few) and put them down in order they came out (there all diferant sizes) then undo the starter motor bolts and cable, disconnect the cable comming from the engine to the main loom. you might need to get a new gasket but if your carefull and can get hold of some gasket in a tube (like glue but made for gaskets) then you might get away with it. gently prize the case open it will go so far then feel like its stuck, as long as your sure there are no more bolts holding it together then dont worry its just the force of the magnets in the fly wheel. once open you will see the starter gear to the top left (if it hasnt fallen out) and the flywheel in the middle. now its time to tap the starter motor out from the inside (its a tight fit!) but make sure you take the bolts out. to put back together put the starter motor in 1st then the gear then put the liquid gasket on the engine casing and fit, be carefull of where the cable comes out of the casing from the stator. put all the bolts in and oil, connect everything up then start it and let it run for 10 min, look for any oil leeks! if you get a leek then you will need to take everything appart and put some more liquid gasket in that area. it would take about a day to strip it and a day to put back together then how ever long it takes you to dismantle the starter motor and fiddle.

they havent been made yet, so dont worry u havent been forgotten

well iv just had a setback to my funds today some theiving bastard has stole the kids christmas money, i cant understand it cause thats the only thing thats missing (thank god!) only had the tin for 2 days !!! still... some scrote has got away with over 200 quid of my hard earned cash and the misses is devistated bless her. iv got to get some proper security installed wich means i cant aford to get the screens made for the shirts this month. sorry peeps but there gonna have to wait till next month.

yeah sorry iv not deliverd for squiers been having some family trouble. im hoping everyone is still interested in the YOC t-shirt we only just hit the 25 shirt minimun (last count) so unless people still want them and we can get 25 definate sales then it might cost more than the £10 a shirt (im hoping its not going to come to that and we can get a bulk order of 25) its either that or i pay £75 in good faith to get the screens made then get them made as and when, but that would increase the cost. (not sure by how much id have to get a quote) again im sorry for not commiting to what i said but hopefully everyone is still interested. and i can get them made. .Paul.

think they need to do something more dramatic to get media atention and also include learner riders! iv got a 7 year old fully custom bike and would like to suport , but i cant cause im on L's

dont think u are ment to put veg oil in there ..........but thats bad ...... do u know for sure what it is?

well ......im fucked then.......fuckin wankers! need to be shot! the lot of them! sorry for my "french" but it takes the piss! the world is turning into a dictatorship telling us what we can and cant do. iv built my bike from scratch not because it looks pretty or it makes it go faster but because it works out cheeper and more relyable! i can get parts from anywhere and i can fix it myself if i need too saving me shitloads in the long run. if this comes in then i can say bye bye to my job my home and my life .........yeah fucking great idea...........pricks!..... rant over ....sorry why dont we go onto the gov website and start a petition ......should get over 100,000 names on there easy! then they would have to do something!

have you tried adjusting the cable? try that one 1st as its the easyest option, there should be an adjuster at the lever end and at the engine end. if the cable is fully extended and the bite is as close to the bar / or slipping then get a new cable cause they do streatch. if that dont work then il go through how to strip the engine to get to the clutch.

screw a ducati veron i want a v8 bussa turbo mini!

ooooo ......iv just seen a v8 busa engine ......if only i had the money.......
