Loose earth ?? .................................... Sand ? Oh it wasn't a trick question, carry on!

+ 1 mate. Kernow is lethal enuf on a dry sunny day so while it's still bucketing down and blowing dogs of chains here the FJ is staying snugly under her cover in the garage, thank you very much.

Done Lottie !! Dunno what you f*ckers are complaining about - it's a generalized marketing questionnaire - simpels Good luck with the study.

Amazed that he even gets up after the pole fell on his bonce

Listen to the wise one !!! Excellent advice there Yeah right, now go on a 250 mile trip and see who arrives a bit fresher ........... and yer getting on a bit Slice ..... NTTAWWT

That's the capacity of his oil sump

Foamy, Try this if all else fails : http://www.bundlebox.com/help_center/usa-parcel-forwarding-service/ My Jeep pals swear by it for sourcing truck bits from the US of A Happy Xmas.

Now there's a nice specimen .............................. the bike obviously Welcome.

Happy X-mas to all you reprobates on here. May 2017 be a super/safe biking year.

I'm sure its been discussed a million times on here but it looks like today's blast around West Kernow was my last for 2016. Work is taking me further away from home and the boss has kindly given me a car on loan for the winter. Road tax is running out as well so may as well call it a day. Tank full/Empty? Battery on trickle charge ? Others?

Well, we haven't said anything to the contrary, have we ...........

Sorry but just had to larf - brilliant Don't take this the wrong way but it felt like I just looked into a mirror. The stupid things I have gotten into in my garage with the saving broom stick, piece of string, bit of 2x2 just out of reach

Not sure if the owner is on here so share/spread the word.

Sharing on behalf of a friend of a friend of a friend on FB Stolen from garage last night , Yamaha rd 350 ypvs , D733 UVV , please keep an eye out for it ....... I believe South Coast Southampton Area.

Gridlock coming to work again yesterday due to a fatal accident on the main road to Falmouth involving a bike rider but little did I know how involved we were. A deck hand of ours, working on an on-call basis, was making his way to Falmouth at 05:30 yesterday morning in drizzely & dark conditions to crew one of our boats. When he came to a blind corner he was faced with a young 30 y/o female biker sliding towards him on the deck and into his path. She must have fallen off her 125-bike due to leaves or the ridiculous amounts of diesel on the roads these days. Regretfully he was unable to avoid her and crashed himself after trying. The guy is pretty shook up. http://www.piratefm.co.uk/news/latest-news/2098748/biker-dies-after-a39-crash/ Drove past the scene this morning. Chilling !!!! Be safe out there guys.

Be careful with that 2nd gear. The teeth on the cog of 2nd are made of cheese so I wouldn't make a habit of that. 3rd,4th & 5th fill yer boots but mind that 2nd mate.

Bugger Grouch. Every bikers' nightmare. Hope you/they catch the barstuard ......and make him pay through the nose.

Driving standards are pretty poor iwo position on the road and filtering for a turn off. Also poking their noses out of a merging road just expecting all the other traffic to stop and give them right of way. Not mentioning the pricks that see you coming on the bike and move over to block the way past - very infuriating. By the same token some people go out of their way to let you pass. Now where it gets tricky is the situation I just experienced a couple of hours ago coming home from work : Major through road blocked due to an accident - yes, involving 'cagers' -and the whole lot diverted via tiny back roads during rush-hour. Cagers, trucks & busses having to use Cornish back lanes hardy wider than the width of a truck. Before the road closure there is already a mile of commuters bobbing and weaving - in the diversion a lot of frustrated and impatient lemmings that have moved 25 yards in the last half an hour. These guys are very tricky customers : the ones you pass + the ones you meet head on

Good man. btw as for revving the t*ts of it until 6000 RPM ........ no need for. You'll just spend more on chain & rubber in the long run. With all that torque 3 or 4 K for daily use will do....... although opening up the taps once or twice is fun...fun...fun when conditions allow.

Tasky, let's agree to disagree but I do not subscribe to your view ..... by light years ..... pun....pun .... pun

I hope he gave you a right kick in the nuts as well When you get on that thing this first thing your right thumb does is flick those lights on ................... ALLWAYS !!!! Tip: get some cheap as chips LED's from China and wire them in. The standard light is a sickly candle at best.

Check your throttle for smooth operation - cable & throttle grip (rubber grip not catching/dragging ??). if something seems sticky lube it or free up. What mileage has the bike done ? If throttle and cable ok you may have to look further : Totally unrelated but the gurus on here advised to have my carbs refurbed because my float valves were fubared and it started running ropey. Best bit of advice I got and when done by my bike shop it ran like new....... and still does. Checked this afternoon .......... a shade over 6K revs will give you 180Kph ............... hehe that's 111Mph and 3500 revs left in the tank Yours a continent import as well then ?

Generic copper washer will do. Tip: check your air filter as well. FJ's don't like a clogged up one. The 4 pots drag a lot of air through them and need to breathe.

Yup !!. When you do oil don't forget the filter. Mind the fekkin PLUG When you cover the floor under the chain track you can chuck some of your old oil over the chain. It'll like it muchly. A bit messy at first so have a few rags at the ready.
