i like my SR

hi, thanks for the input, ive had it cheked over, its the cam chain tensioner that is rattling against the chain. many thanks, kim

thats a funny looking bike...

hi, unfortunaitly, i have purchased a kwak. ive just run it home (helston, cornwall) from Llandrindod wells in wales (300 miles) on the run, i heard no abnormal noises. when i got home, it was run arround (priety aggressivly i might say ) and once again i heard no problems. when i got home, no abnormal noises. ive left it to cool down for 1 hour, and ive just started it up (because i love the fact that ive now got a 500, instead of 125, and i love the noise) and to my horror, i hear a mild to loud tapping noise from the cylender head at arround 1500 rpm above and below that rpm, the noise goes, but im very tentative to take her out again, seen as my SR's first engine died due to a incorrectly seated valve that was worn and droped in to the cylender. that made a similar sound, and im hoping that its not that again, as it is not only terminal on my new bike (got today, 25th nov) but costs alot to fix too can anybode please tell me that i shouldnt bee afraid and that it will all be better tomorow? or atleast let me know what it could be. many thanks.

hi, does anybody know where i can get a pillion seat cover for my GPZ500s (92 model), the aero-dynamic type. many thanks. Kim Smith VOTE MONSTER RAVING LOONEY PARTY!!!!!

180 hp, u mean 108hp at Rear wheal lol

yeah u do... heater - hands by engine Sterio - MP3 player comfy seats - let ur ass grow windscreen wipers - fingers on visor storage space - back-pack you dont get wet - um... invest in some water proofs... lol

I swear the laws of gravity there are different to europes... if i tryed that, either the bike would fall over backwards, or they would all come off.

Try some BT45's - they are very good on my bike, and handel well in wet or dry weather. dunno howd theyd work for a R1 tho.. soz, if thats any help. lol

lol.

well, thats one way to dismount. dont think ill be trying that though. did you see the size of some of those wheels? no wonder they slid out - RS50 size, it makes me laugh

not a fat-ass maglite then? as steriotypical cops use... VOTE MONSTER RAVING LOONEY PARTY!!

Does the engine turn over? because it looks like its within my price-range. bit of oil and WD40, no problem

EBAY!!! lol

How old is your SR? mine was 82, and it did 43k

a 125 is ideal for a new rider, the XT is a good bike for what it is, and they can shift in circumstances. enjoy riding, and welcome

pardon my asking, but you said that you were learning to ride it, how long have you been riding, and would you think an R6 is/was a sensible choice for a begginner, that is if you are. moral nagging asside, nice total, and hope ur all in one piece. go for the re-build, get a new frame and get the engine sorted. manny a run-in engine on Ebay, if your in need of one. good luck with it. Kim

how do you upload pictures from your pc to the fourms?

im gonna buy a GPZ 500s for arround £550. it needs a restricting kit in it though, but ill have to save up for that - £240 fitted, for 2 washers! its a scam i tells ya! A SCAM!!!! anyway, itl be a month or so till it gets restricted, but in the mean time, a littel green-laning may be in order. lol oh, ANGEL ASSIST will be providing me with a temporary bike too, whilst mine os off the road, on the other guys insurance. and hopefuly, the police will press charges - Hit and Run. all smiles , in a wierd sortta way

im currently looking at a GPZ500S 1989 model. £600, and same for fully comp insurance but ill need a restrictor kit in it though annother £250. all because im under 21. oh well.

i have been absent for a while from this forum, but in the mean time, i have been restoring a Vintage SR125 (1982), which has also ben my sole means of transport. last night, some pollock reversed in to it causing a not cheap amount of damage. bearing in mind that i have spent in excess of £900 getting it up to an almost compleate stage (just neding a fuel tank re-spray, an exhaust and a left hand side panel) this guy reverses in to it and causes this damage: A smashed head lamp fixing, bent brackets, snapped mud guard, break lever snapped off, break pedal bent in to engine casing, forks bent, bearing set/ yolk bit that connects to the frame is damaged.in all, i require a new front end, so about £4-500 more. as a result, it is gonna be an economical write-off but, i will be getting a bigger bike sonner though, so there is a mild silver llining to the dark cloud.

slightly off topic, but how do you add pictures to a post? can you reply on my new post please? many thanx

lol, just finished college, so ive got loads of time atm. got a new job starting up tho, so i wont be riding so much. i dont know the north coast so well, but i know the lizard peninsula like the back of my hand, been riding it for the last year and a half. ne idea when ur gonna take ur full test? or is it in the distant future? Kim
