    speak to Mal at bike colours he will sort you out http://www.bikecolours.com/
  9. you need to flat it back first then apply your lacquer then apply your stripes if not it could pull you blue paint off, then flat back again ,then top coat of lacquerill be was, then polish make sure you use petrol resistant lacquer or all your time and effort will be wasted the first time you drop a little petrol over the tank when filling up when applying your stripes, that's if your not painting them (its difficult to stop them from bleeding mate) , use soapy water not a lot but this will help you to move the stripe around until your happy, the use some sort of squeegy to make sure all the air is out and it is firmly pressed onto the tank this is easier than painting them on
  10. sounds like it's seized to me, keep using the sea foam or ACF50 and keep using the kick start little by little , once it is unseized if you get that far does not mean your troubles are over

  13. I have not ventured into the garage for 2 months now the bikes have not been started for 3 months, I always take my batterys of for the winter and put them in the cellar , it is heated but not much but it does not go below zero, there is power down there as well so I put them all on the optimate one at a time until fully charged last week . this weekend I thought right lets have a go and see which one we can get running, I put the battery on the old FZR turned the key and all the lights lit up and I could hear the fuel pump whirr away, oil light out now and pressed the button, starter motor cranking no pop or bang , then again same thing , then again and a pop and bang, then again and bang she's off on all four , hooray ! four hits of the button and shes running , down with the choke and its purring like a kitten and nice throttle response to go with it, its 3 month old fuel with no additives in (fuel preserver), when its up to running temperature i snick into gear only for it to die , hit the button and it fires up but same thing again i adjust the clutch cable a smidge and i can pull it out of the garage , I know its not the side stand as i have had it in bits and cleaned up . now the kwak two stroke triple , key in iggy light on ,kick ,kick ,kick ,kick not a peep , 10 mins later and totally knackerd with trying to kick it up it eventually fires up on 2 cylinders, left and middle but no right , i cant be arsed , and go for a quick spin on the Fizzer brill its nice to be back on two wheels

    when you say cleaned the carb did you clean out the jets, I will say 9 times out of 10 its the carbs that is the issue , check your throttle cable that its as nice free movement , carb slide etc all move freely,then move onto the carb, check your main jet, the pilot seems ok if it's ticking over fine, it seems from what you say that its got to be the main jet as when you open up the throttle and the carb is going from pilot to main jet or one other thing to check is the fuel height on your carb float is too low so not letting enough fuel into the bowl. have you a manual for air intake screw settings TIP I always use a strand from a wire brush which is small enough to get it the small holes and it wont do any damage to the jet ,

    It wont slightly void your insurance , IT WILL void your insurance, what sort of speeds are you getting upto on your DT, max on your liecense is 62.5mph, the maximum BHP allowed on your liecence is 14.6bhp im not sure what the restriction is on your dt but it there for a reason you could change the sprockets but then you would loose the bottom grunt for a few MPH top end , getting your test passed A2 would be the easiest option then your upto 33 bhp

  22. The woman who hit the biker , wasnt paying that much attention at all, as i didnt even hear the brakes screeching,good thing really , if you hear the screeching your muscles tend to stiffen up ready for the impact, but that's what exactly happened to me 2 years ago , I didn't land on my feet though , but made a nice dent in the car bonnet of the driver who hit me. couldnt understand the guy's /lady( looking at them boots) is not saying anything to the woman , I cursed with many expletives when I got to my feet at the bloke who hit me. one twisted frame, bents forks, and most of the plastic cracked or smashed sent my GPZ 600 r to scrap yard heaven
