Mustard gas is so called due to the burning like mustard in your lungs when breathed in. The burning is caused by the gas turning into hydrochloric acid in the lungs.

Think it might be a advance/retard ignition problem. If you cannot find anything with the fueling then it must be ignition.

Have you checked the battery?

Before you touch the engine, you should service the front forks, rear shocks and all the brakes.

Most motorcycle outlets will have universal fittings for that sort of thing. You should not have a problem.

A good sheet metal worker will have the tools to remove the dent. Good sheet metal workers cost.

White lines are skittish and have been all my life. Don't relie on a tyre to save you. Learn to cross at the right point.

Miss World.

Yes, drain and clean the fuel tank and put fresh fuel in. That way it has a better chance of firing.

Have you put fresh fuel in?

If your going to do that again, make sure you stop on top of a hill so that you can bumpstart it!

Of course to defuse the situation with the police, you could ask if your bum was to big.

Sounds more like a sticking float causing fuel starvation.

If you have had the fork legs off or they are not fully extended then I think that the steering angle has shrapened.

Makes me wonder why Yamaha can't do that!

Better put some awesome tyres on it as well.

It's very windy there.

Welcome and well done! 1. Count the wheels and tyres, 2 is good! OK normal pre biking checks are all that are required.

High and welcome. Some personal answers to your questions. 1. Good but can be variable. Check for cracks on the fairing. 2. Which bit? 3. About 46 but you know how you ride. 4. Best place to buy one is where in the country you can do the best deal. Buy MCN Look at the add ons you can get!

Hello Sailor. Welcome and good luck. First thing to check is all of the wiring. Any loose joints, wear or even finding a disconnection, will help with this matter. It's doubtful the sensor has failed. Ask a Yami service agent what they think and how to test the sensor.

The big thing with kick starters is to have a big fat spark. If you don't then you'll be there forever. The spark plugs, leads and coils must be top notch.

It does appear that your crankcase is pressurising and blowing small amounts of oil out. This can mix with any dampness in the airbox and turn white. It is more likely that your cylinder head gasket has blown and is forcing water into the crankcase with the same effect. Check your fluid levels. If the sump oil is high, then you have a problem. Coolant water low = problem. Low compression on any cylinder = problem It could also be that you have been wheelying the bike too much and the oil is a symptom of that.

Well it's good to feel financially flushed so head of to your Yamy dealer and get a Fazer 1000. I think you'll enjoy that more. Good luck and best regards.

No you old git! You could of course find a hill and role the bike down it to bump start.

Its probably running out of fuel, ie does it cut out when on reserve? Other than that the float is probably sticking.
