to be fair you are riding a bike thats probably already had a hard life. My mate had a DT50MX, when we were 16, and we jet washed it. afterwards it was a bugger to start. we put it down to wet lectrics. anyway it went on for a week or two with him getting stranded when it kept dying. So we stripped the top-end, got it rebore and a new piston (a big bore kit would have been better!). We fitted a new plug, new lead and coil and afterwards it was quicker and never missed a beat till he sold it. My guess is lots of little bits had gone past of their use-by-date although it didnt sound like it was suffering from piston slap.

that should work fine, in fact its a great idea as the bike is 6volt. any of the 1-1.5amp voltage regualtors would work and should provide a rock steady 5 volts to drive the sat-nav. id use something like this:http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=10529

all of those were good!

usually you have to drill them out with a bloody good bit, very slowly. youll need to replace them with shear-bolts as well. You may have get loads of stuff out of the way (poss fairing, mudgaurd, rad etc) depending on the bike. A light bike you could flip over if you removed the fluids. the reasuring bit is its quite tough, so its likely to deter amateur thieves.

lol

expect plenty of bad luck with car ownership! and if its a capri, expect plenty of people pointing and laughing and that god-awful ford smell!

welcome!

a zxr400 is about 55bhp (as are all the sports 4 cyl jap bikes) so you may need to restrcit it.

well i tend to ride the FZR reasonably quickly, i am amazed my licensed has survived the last few years! 3000 - ouch, i have a lame rule for myself, no more than a £1/day for insurance car or bike!

Well iv had the fzr for 9 years, so its been a while! Will do

probably needs a new spark plug - with 2 strokes these have to be changed very regularly. this is very likely if itll start on the kick but not by lectrickery.

Well iv decided after months of procrastination to buy a new bike. just put a deposit down on an 08 ZX-6R, take delivery in 2 weeks. great deal and £200 fully comp. looks like my fzr1000 will be going soon!

weve all been there!

Its no consolation, but it happens, and as we all know bad luck just seems to come in blocks where nothing goes right! Hopefully your wallet and the remote will turn up!

when i did my mechanical engineering degree, a guy on the course did extensive research into this on the uni dyno with (i think) a 250cc bike engine. I think there was something like a measurable improvement of around 7%, but that was under lab conditions and due to the fact the dyno was constantly booked only in a the small rev band of peak torque. It is something to do with hotter gases flowing better^ iirc the thermal shock of gases rapidly cooling on cold downpipe walls increases the tendency for the reynolds number to exceed the transition point from laminar flow to turbulent. Of course i amy be wrong, its been a while!

beats big brother with minime its a bike special tonite, should be fun! see how reactionary and pc the beeb is!

overall im a big fan of ANPR, i drive an old-dog of a rust-bucket Mondeo and i never get pulled because of the vehicles is fully legal. I live right next to the Bristol Ring-Road and it is very funny when the traffic police get up there tugging the people who think the law doesn't apply to them.

what do you mean de-restrict an r6? they are not restricted.

simple: do the exhaust port!

Happy new year, and thanks to admin for their continued hard work. pilninggas

welcome to u! lots o new people, the more the merrier!

welcome dude

hey and hey to both you peeps

maybe you can get haynes manual or an electronic workshop manual off of ebay. if not: clutch lever it wont let me paste the image in! (1) First pull the lever a few times if you can and try to ascertain the point where it bites (unless you can remember) (2)what you need to is remove no.3 (decent allen key or better a hex socket), dont loose no.9., (3) wiggle the lever out (whats left of it) of the bar-mount. (4)next you need to find the clutch cable and the adjuster (it is not numbered on the diagram) - make a mental note of how much thread is showing, measure with a ruler is necessary - and there is a large locknut on it, slacken this off (fingers or carefully with pliers). (5) now turn the actual adjucter clockwise this will let the inner cable come out so that you can take the old lever off. (6) put the new lever on the cable 'bobble'. (7) put 9 in. (8) refit 3, check tight ness (9) reset the adjuster by winding it back out, use the measure ment you took with the ruler or do it by 'eye' (10) check the feel at the lever, if it is right retighten the locknut. sorry if this sounds complex it isnt, its very similar to doing the back brake on a bicycle. give it ago! btw where are you? im in bristol, if you are close by, i may be able to show you!
