cheers you wouldnt belive me if i told you its the original seat off the bike and yes drewpy them lol although i havent had much look with parts of ebay they dont seem to fit i even bought to downpipes and they wont fit

cheers still need front caliper mine is buggered and a downpipe i have couple of downpipes of an xs250 but they dont match mine at all as mine are 2 into 1 and need some help on the idle mixture issue as doesnt tick over well and popping back through carbs "BUT" when it pops back it comes out the side of the inlet manifold as i found out today but i cant locate these on the net any where

normbod try introducing your self in the newbies section

i have used nrp for my old suzuki marauder and he did a fantastic job is very helpful and i will be using him again to service the ones for my xs

and here

i had the same issue on my old sr125, would struggle starting when it would start there would be hardly any power i had a spark and everything although this was the problem, it was creating a spark but it wasnt good enough turned out the spark plug was buggered so i changed it and solved the problem, it may be a long shot reading what you have done also with the carb there is a guy in victoria station in manchester who repairs them http://www.nrp-carbs.co.uk/index.htm

ah ok lol so nothing wrong with it then

thanks for all your welcomes,,,,, managed to get few chromed bits of the bay so that will save some £'s which is all good will also put in subscriptonfor the site on thursday when i gets some moneys too

hi guys ok i dont know if this is right on this bike never had the same issue on past bikes i have owned, when kickstarting the bike it works fine but when i pull the clutch and try to kickstart just feels like nothing is there just the spring of the kickstart, it wont enable when the clucth is engaged and ideas or is this normal for this type of bike cheers
