Another new toy, with a twist.
That's very cool! I'd put some brakes and lights on it and get it on the road! Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

slipping clutch oh dear xjr1300
I couldn't be certain mate, but judging from how hard the gasket had gone it had been on there a good while. Have you tried bleeding the clutch fluid and/or checking for leaks at the slave cylinder? Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

slipping clutch oh dear xjr1300
I changed the spring on mine, and one of the plates. I think there's 8 or 9 in total, with 2 that have slightly less surface area. I fitted a FJR1300 spring and a full size plate to replace one of the smaller ones. Measured the old plates (45k miles) and they were no different to the new one Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Have you checked your tyre pressures? Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Yamaha xt 125
You really need a manual - Haynes or similar that will identify all the parts for you and give you the factory settings. Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Deer hitting
I took a pheasant to the face once, killed my lid and the bird. That hurt. Last time I had some tyres on the triumph I had new chain and sprockets at the same time, think he charged me £10 more Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

just need to cry a bit
Yeah in the dry that one I had was fine. 4k miles later and it looked brand new. Tiny bit of moisture in the air and it would spin on acceleration [emoji29] Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

just need to cry a bit
The rear tyre I had on my FJ when I got it was awful. Manufacturer was CST (Cheap, shit tyre?) I had many a drifting session on that. Mostly the reason why I never got on with the bike, even with decent rubber I never had any confidence Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Mt09 first bike - advice
Both good bikes, maybe not the best for 2 up riding - I'd maybe consider the MT09 Tracer? Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Stator testing
You need to test the output from the stator though, if that's good then it will be the reg/rec or possibly the cabling in between the two Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Petrol cock too big!
I wouldn't cut the pipe. It's fulfilling its purpose. If you cut them off level you'll never know when you need fuel until it conks out, except you won't have a reserve to fall back on. It's all in the name really..... Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

help needed
You need to clean the jets out mate, they have tiny holes drilled in them. My money is on blocked pilot jet. You need some carb cleaner and compressed air Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Stator testing
Yeah that does seem low. What are the resistances like between the windings and the frame or engine casing? Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk
-
Stator testing
Measure resistance between them all, you should get 3 identical readings. Also check each one for continuity down to earth (frame). Alternatively with the bike running you should get an AC voltage on each. Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Manual choke. You are using it aren't you? Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Wheel spacers/bushing.
For me a trailtech vapour would be the way to go. Not cheap though. You can programme them to start from your current mileage Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Best place to buy parts?
Fowlers parts. Or eBay/gumtree depending on your budget Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Athena 170cc kit for DTRE 125 set up tips
A member on here fitted one to his TDR125. He did 33k miles on it before the gearbox gave up so I'd say the crank will be fine. I think a better route to do down would be fit a DT200 or WR200 engine. They bolt straight into a DT frame Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Yamaha WR125X starter relay location
Are you sure you've checked all fuses? Looking at your original post you might've fried something in the dash when that wire shorted out. Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Arrrrgh, teenage bodgers....
I know the feeling mate - so many connections on my Aprilia had been bodged. Slowly but surely going around and remaking them properly. Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk
