Cheers mate, but google really is your friend

Well, the fekkers at PB have caught up with me, so I've moved to flickr (although it seems I have had a flickr account since 2007). Anyway here is a test pic

Shown for a Kawasaki, but it may help This link also has a lot of good shit in it http://gpzweb.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/TK22mainPage/TK22adjustmentsAndMaint/TK22adjustmentsAndMaint.html

Yes I thought as much. See the emoticon, that was meant to indicate it was a joke

Yea but it will be in knots per hour 1.1knt per land mile

Glad I never got round to try it

Kev, try the fotobucket, mine still works for free....for now

Thats why I ride auld Triumphs

Fek me, they must have just stuck XS badges on my TX then cos that still displayed every symptom in the troubleshooting pages of the haynes books of lies.....Burn the Witch I'll give you that Tommo, great looking bike

We had the same for my boy. Over a grand on his quotes. We were recommended to try MCE and got tpft for about £500. The only issue was when he turned 17 and got a 125 they would not cover him so when he went elsewhere they did not give him his first years NCD as he was only (their words) 10 month into his insurance

Being a lazy fekker, I prefer alloy wheels. This was reinforced a few weeks back when I had my rear wheel off to fit new sprocket and tyre, I decided to clean up the hub and spokes. Took me forever even in the stripped stage, so alloys all the way for me

Yer on a roll this avvy Tommy

Hey John It must be something with your account as the pic I posted was lifted from my foatiebucket....and no I did not pay any money. Getting money from me is like (another image from the bucket)

Try these folk for japanese connectors, laminated wiring diagrams etc. No connection (pardon the pun) other than I have used them in the past http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/kojaycat?rt=nc

As above, my first 15yrs on the bike was all year every year. xs 250 81 -83 No new cables Triumph Bonnie 83 - 89 I new throttle cable (snapped about 2 miles outside Filey at the start of my holiday, ran about with the cable wrapped around a bit of twig, luckily it snapped at the top nipple) and 1 Clutch cable (December, bike loaded with wife and xmas pressies so an eventful trip home) xs1100 89 - 2000 No new cables New Triumph 2000 - 2004 No new cables Triumph Bonnie 2004 2012 No new cables New Triumph 2012 - present No new cables Triumph Speed Twin 2012 - present Cables replaced when new, no breakages The first 3 bikes were all year round The 4th bike was all year round for the first 2 yrs with 53 mile each way commute The last 3 were/are toys Regular preventative maintenance carried out

Is it with OH Assist, if so good luck with that bud

Well summer solstice here and the West Coast started wet, dried up a bit but cloudy, then since about 3pm its been pouring down accompanied with thunder and lightning. A nice day yesterday but was otherwise detained other than that no heatwave and no sunburst streets over on this side

As above, but that shouldn't be the reason you have " gone through plenty of clutch/throttle cables over the years". I've been riding bikes for over 35 years and can count on one hand the amount of throttle or clutch cables that have snapped on me. You should check your routing avoiding any tight bends, as well as ensuring that all cables are well lubricated and properly adjusted

Brilliant mate....Memories is what it's all about

I admire your optimism Tommo

and then there was Hai Karate

Brilliant, I'm in I need an essay written on the following subject matter Why would someone think it is a good form of marketing to offer a writing service on a motorcycle forum 1500 words inc references (using the Harvard referencing method) I'm willing to pay up to £1.50p if it gets an 'A' Grade

XS250 you say?, vapour blasting? Have you considered 88mm Cannon Blasting Only joshing Bud. I had a bad experience with an xs250 and have never got over it. Not tried vapour blasting personally, but seen some good results on my mates bikes and online
