Tommy xs

I finally found a nos cdi for mine on ebay for the price of a secondhand one, good things come to those who wait!

You've still got time, wish I could be more help but you know a hell of alot more than I do when it comes to this sort of thing, I'm shure you'll work it out

seen on the news its getting bigger makes you wonder how safe the roads are would be great to have one of those drones for IOM or Squires lot of cash for a decent one though I expect.

I would take it to a tyre repair place and ask their advise

maybe its greek for one hit wonder!

How's it going Drew?

Or you could just flip your monitor on its side

Got yer hands full there bipp, I sometimes feel like chunk is a full time job but wouldn't change him for the world.

Just been looking back at this old thread, can't believe its two years on. The good news is Chunk had his tenth birthday a couple of days ago and he's still going strong.

How's it going Drew, have you got her mot'd yet?

Looking good lal, how's the rest of the bike coming along?

I still haven't got through to Jurby yet got home late from work due to a tanker on fire on the M56 will try tomorrow

Thanks bippo think I'm gonna go with the black for practical reasons also not on in the pic the grab rails are black which look out of place with the white.

Oil may drop after you first fill but after you topped it up to the correct level it shouldn't go up futher have you dropped any of the oil a second time if so did if look normal in consistency, it could be contaminated with petrol! Also .are you sure yor bike has carbs?

No I don't. Need lacquer with this paint two problems with the white seat first its a bit hard second as slice said and it is already starting to look a bit grubby after sitting on my project bike in the garage for about a year.

well I had another go at painting my bike today not really happy with it but it will do for now,still got to wet sand it yet and fix a few blemishes. not sure about the white seat though it might grow on me, it a an impulse buy from ebay only £20 and it did give me the idea for this paint scheme as it looked horrible on the all blue bike white seat black seat

I don't know what your using lal but I used this and was impressed as gives nice finish and is petrol resistant http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C2S4ZTA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_5&smid=A3GUJZC51M4L0M

Yer. Gotta give him 1 for effort though.

mine was 81 and it was a bit faster than my mates 250 superdream
