1) So fk, don't lose any sleep over it, that is his concern 2) So fk, nothing to do with you......If you were top bidder then some explaining, but as you were outbid then, again fk em and the chap refusing to speak with you, so fk, fk em One will come up, or I can point you in the direction of a few Triumphs I know for sale

I don't use photobucket since they tried to hold us all to ransom a while back Postimage.org is my preferred hosting site

You're calling yourself 'Canada' but where in the world are you. This info will help folk offer suggestions

Have you tried a new plug. Yours may be sparking outside the engine but failing under load. Doubt it will be the kill switch as you wouldn't get a spark inside or outside the engine Probably better sticking a battery in place to give it a boost

No but I know a few crooks called Mick.....None from Durham tho

I'll give you £100 to take it off your hands. No more stress or worry mate, you know it makes sense

Good result bud

Hi Welcome to the forum. Great wee bikes. My boy learned to ride on one, and once he passed his test he sold it on for what he paid, so obviously a market for them

I normally give you a 'like' for your pics bud, but not with they big fekkin toes spoiling it

I used to own an xs250 with the very same symptoms. I eventually sorted it, well my sanity, by using "Burn ya bastard"

Welcome to the forum bud

Just in from a 12hr shift, a wee bit tired and read that as "Panty Liners"

MoT passed and I went a wee blast on it. Loud as fek

This thread is 5 years old bud, and the OP got his answers and buggered off. Not visited since 01 March 2014

Prepped my boys Virago in readiness for an MoT (booked for tomorrow,) He started a new job in April and has been on training so no time for bikes. His bike has sat in the shed since last year. Replaced front brake fluid and cleaned and adjusted rear drum brake. checked all lights work, checked spokes on wheels and fork seals. Didn't check steering head bearings as no centre stand and I was on my own but took it a wee run and they felt fine, so should be good to go tomorrow

Brilliant mate. Welcome to the nuthouse. Start a new thread in the projects section and keep us all informed with progress, oh and we love pictures

I recently used a guy, John Adams 07951 541 477 £150 to transport the bike from Dorset to Glasgow (ish). It took a few days, but I was happy with the service and price

Funnily enough, that is my weekend off, so of it cam be sorted for then I will endeavour to make it

Yes please, and I have a standard T160 on offer

Look at the jetting. What colour are your plugs If it is after market pipes it may need rejetted. This would cause bogging down and could cause the blueing. So you can either contact the zorst manufacturer and see what main jets they recommend, or faff about changing jets...or take it to a rolling road / dyno who should have a collection of jets and get it set up properly

I have had that advice my whole life mate......"Don't stick that in there" has been the bane of my life

Good Intro bud, welcome to the nuthouse

Some nice tunes there Bud
