    that does sound like its going to be a lot simpler than you first imagined, good luck ken, hope its something easy to fix.

    hey Andy you realize when lower the suspension it softens it which will alter the handling. I'm not judging how heavy you are but if I was riding a 125 I would need it on highest/ hardest setting as I'm about 14 stone if your set on lowering it, do it one notch at a time on both side's of coarse ha ha!!! and make sure it doesn't bottom out on you over the bumps or you could up riding one of these

    hi Baily I realize your quite new to the forum, but an introduction please! a couple of line is all it takes, its considered a rude not to, if you read the heading there is a clue as to what its for. perhaps drewpy could move you to projects if you ask him nicely he is also the person you need to talk to about your xs250 if he can't help you no one can.

    you need to get back with rachel! she would have had you handcuffed to the bed after a night on the sauce. Now that would keep you off ebay haha

    think this could be your best option, if you open it up and its totally F##ked you can still go down the route of replacing motor or break it for parts, if it means as much to you as i think it does I wouldn't let it go without at least trying.

    didn't think Halton did co's hadn't heard of anyone doing a coase there look's like a pretty good setup they have there, not rushing you for the lift space then while your waiting for parts

    mike Iv'e seen some video on youtube showing how to do it, as I remember you make plastic template to cover fuel tap & bolt it on using the bolts from fuel tap,plug up any other hole's like breather pipe, mix sealant with hardener, poor in & swirl it round make sure the sealant you use is ethanol resistant

    take them back, consumer rights not fit for purpose it doesn't matter they said their not waterproof all that means is you can't submerge them in water, they have to do what their designed for which is to carry belongings safely on a motorcycle, if they leak while your bike is standing still that's not right its either bad workmanship or poor design neither of those things are down to you demand a full refund including any fitting cost

    well I know that know him lol
