awww! he beat me to it

mr cadbury met mrs rountree on a double decker, it was after eight when they got off at quality street, he asked her name, polo im the one with the hole she said with a wisper, im marathon the one with the nuts he replied, he touched her cream eggs and slipped his hand into her snickers, he fondled her flapjacks and she rubbed his tic tacs, it was a fab moment as she screamed in turkish delight and he shot his chewy centre, but three days later his shurburt dib dab started to itch, turns out mrs rowntree had been with berty basset and he's got feckin allsorts!

true ........he has got some talent to build something as intricate as that! .............wish i had a lathe.

save ur money and just get a bigger engine/ bike........my xvs 125 bobber with a cbr 125 engine can reach 75mph. your best bet would be to try either a bigger sprocket on the front or a smaller one on the back to get more top end speed. works out about 300 quid cheeper

probably get up and chase u while ur foot is numb

plus you need to consider that ur putting a 400cc engine with so many torque into a 175 frame designed to only take so much stress. id have to agree and say ur best bet for safety and wheight (plus power ect) would be to go to a 250cc motor. you can put any engine into any frame but its allot of work, you need to be able to make or get hold of custom mounts, make a new loom following a diagram, then there is a space issue, will the exhaust fit? where is the carb/ airbox going to go? is there room for the battery and electronics? then there is the "what if?" factor.....e.g. what if i want to get to the carb to re-jet it, or what if i want a new after,market exhaust. can i get to the air filter and sparkplugs for a service without taking the engine out? all this needs to be considerd, plus you will need to check up and see if you need to do a vosa check by the dvla. then see if you can get insured.

cant say mine has a name......the misses calles it "the f**king bike"............but i havent got a name for her, i say her cause i find myself sayin "good girl" when i pull back the trottle.

only 2 on my way to work.......and both in places where there is a blind corner or a stupid junction.

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 .......
