Funnily enough, I was about to say, I have been riding bikes since 1980 and not one of them has went backwords (sic)

Good news matey, now post some pics of the Bike...I like the xs650 and would love to own one

Haha saw that on FB

Hadgehogs.......a cunning blend of 2 words there matey

I would keep the 125, that way getting plenty of practice on a geared bike....I would also keep the v50, stating that now is not a good time to sell a bike. Potter about on it for a few months then get rid, if thats what you want

The plug may not be firing under load so swap over the HT Leads and check what cylinder sparks now. My money would be on the RH Cylinder. Set the kill switch to off and turn it over a few times. Remove the plugs and check if they are wet. I would suggest the RH plug will be and the other dry, indicating a fault with the carb.....Is it a vacuum carb on the bike (my mate had one back in the day, but I cant remember what carbs were fitted)

Thank Fek for that........

Too true mate

Hopefully turn out nice matey

Well mate, once you put it out there........They have no qualms about hacking the voicemails of murdered children so posting your vid would not even register on their moral compass. Oh and fek the cyclist, give him enough for an eye test

Good job matey

Don't know about 2T but on my twins, if I replace the head gasket, and on auld Triumphs it's almost an annual job, it is recommended re torquing the head after 50 miles and again after 500miles...Possibly not the same on strokers but just saying

That will be the Rotor Luke. Some family member eh, I take it he doesn't like you. Is the battery fully charged, I would think it needs charged after lying around outside all winter. Get that charged, clean the plugs drain the carbs and use fresh petrol and then try it before you pull everything apart

Ahhh, the good old XS250, I owned one for about 3yrs and spent many happy minutes of hassle free riding in those 3 years....Burn It Seriously matey, I'm with Tommy here, check your points are spotlessly clean and set correctly

Yea but as Andrew says in another thread 'not for long' Anyway spud, good luck

I thought it was me he was talking about, then I realised I won't be there

Hope you got home OK Tommy, weather turned shit Sunday / Monday. All we need now is a few pics of a Kilted Scouser

Well done matey, looking forwards to seeing the vids

Well obrien, it gave me your 15yrs....65 FFS

A local upholsterer recovered my Triumph seat for £30. He saved the rear panel with the name embossed and sewed that into the new cover. Check out any local guys to yourself. If we don't use them we will lose them

Up here they played Dexys' and Joan Jett

He's being Posh, as in, " I shall retire to the rear and have a lounge around" as opposed to 'I'm going out the back for a lie down"

Definitely matey, would be good, John. I was over your way yesterday, only I wasn't meant to be. The driver missed the Stirling cut off on the A9

Well, he made it to mine, then I put him on the ferry but his bike was running good and the rain had not caught up with him yet. He should be well into his 3rd or 4th Beer by now

I had the same experience when I bought my xjr1200 a few years ago. Took me about 3 months to get used to the throttle response
