  1. You should enrichen it with a new air filter by the sound of it!!! lol

    No actually, when I'm looking for parts, I tend to use that type of site just for reference purposes and to grab the part codes. The fact that you can check other bikes that use that particular part is an extra! Oh, and don't call me Shirley!!!

    I think you missed a letter... https://www.cmsnl.com/ Looks like an interesting website! Cheers!
  4. That's pretty cool!
  5. P.S. Four LONG flashes, three SHORT flashes? Fault Code 43 Fuel system voltage (monitoring voltage) The ECU is unable to monitor the battery voltage (an open or short circuit in the line to the ECU).
  6. First question is: WHEN exactly did you buy it? Second question is: Was it private or dealership? If you've literally just bought this bike, then it's not your problem (unless you knowingly bought it with electrical problems). If it doesn't get you around, then it is 'unfit for purpose' and a FULL refund is warranted... There are MANY more bikes out there to chose from, there's no reason to take on a problem when you don't need to.

    Armour appear to be more about classic bikes rather than performance bikes. But they do look nice.

    The first thing I'd want to know is whether the NI one with no V5 is stolen or not... You might want to check the VIN.
  11. Woah, woah, woah, woah..! Chances are that if you had a cracked calliper, you'd know about it! It sounds to me like your bleed nipple is blocked. It's fairly normal for air/fluid to come out of the threads... 1/ Don't crack it open quite as far, it's only supposed to be cracked enough to let air out then nipped up again quick. 2/ Buy a new bleed nipple (I'm pretty sure they all have the same threads on them...). Out of curiosity, how are you bleeding the brakes? Are you: a/ Doing it the old fashioned way and using the lever? b/ Using a vacuum bleeder? c/ Using a pressure bleeder?
  12. Keep looking! Yamaha XT 125x Xt125r Genuine Master Cylinder Front New Ajp High Quality Oem (ebay.co.uk) E-Bay is your friend!

    What exactly is the fault code you're seeing?
  14. Snakebite68 replied to jcr's post in a topic in The Bar
    Aaah! Yes, but the rain is warmer down there, you should try it up here in Gods Country!
  15. Snakebite68 replied to jcr's post in a topic in The Bar
    Still doesn't explain the nearly 2mm gap on the old plugs! lol Bike works! Get out there (this is what rain gear is for)!
  16. Snakebite68 replied to jcr's post in a topic in The Bar
    Those sound right offhand. So I've heard, I've not done it yet lol. Stupid question, you did check the gaps on the new plugs before you put them in, didn't you?
  17. Snakebite68 replied to jcr's post in a topic in The Bar
    The Thunderace will take two different plugs (they're listed in the manual). If you don't have a Haynes Manual, say so, I'll dig mine out...

  19. Well, the red grease SHOULD be there anyway. That's what the pistons should be greased with anyway. The brake callipers aren't a problem for me, I bought a second set, so I can just swap them out when they need maintenance and do them at my leisure...
  20. Snakebite68 replied to Livests's post in a topic in Mechanical
    Well, that's not good, I'm assuming the engine hasn't ingested it? All I know about the Thunderace Carbs is that the emulsion tube isn't replaceable... NOT that I know what an emulsion tube is...

    Wemoto are good, and if you're having problems, they're very hapy to take phone calls. P.S. Recommendation...
  23. Snakebite68 replied to jcr's post in a topic in The Bar
    I saw those, but it says they're for threaded terminals, I'm pretty sure the Ace doesn't use threaded plugs.
