Airhead

Wots this then

yes it sounds the likely cause

Wow! some fantastic pics there Pete...good to see you're still in the saddle

An update The 2 stroke rideout is leaving squires at 2pm, as you know it's a 2 hour ride to seaways and as I'm on a slow bike and 'running in' to boot I'll be leaving more like 12 myself...I think some others may do the same...It'll be getting dark at 7ish and I dont want none of that with my glow worm headlight!

The last one I used was EBC, I can't see a big company like them fiddling with the specifications...why not give Yambits a ring and have a chat with them about this issue? http://yambits.co.uk/dt175mx-ebc-clutch-plate-kit-p-9119.html

tip it back ? Bike got a centre stand?...Bag of sand as far back as you can, then cut a wooden chock to go under the front of the motor...jam it in...jobs a goodun

Yeah last year This year Still wearing the same old T-shirt kev?... you'd look the dogs in a mankini doncha think

Happy birthday Noise, it wasnt a bad day for a birthday was it

If you mean remove the filter box and fit pods...I wouldnt myself

Great stuff Tommy

I would too, that has to be worth something

Bon Voyage John

Greetings bassworm back to the world of yamaha bikes...yeah the intro was a great one

very nice mate, really I should do this too ...by that I mean agreed value,

I dont know anything about them myself, but can they be examined and possibly stripped down and freed?

13th, thats Friday 13th i'll be setting off but whether I actually make it ?

Greetings melvin yeah 'mike n bernie'...two of the worst winters this country ever had to endure!

I've tried various exhausts aftermarket exhausts were made by several manufacturers over the years, of course being a 35 year old model they were mostly withdrawn from production personally I have found that the performance of the original pipe is hard to beat, I say remove the restrictor in yours

maybe with the 26mm carb, the head wont add any though.

It's gathering in tents city

Greetings Trev and

Not sure about the carb, you will have to measure it using some inside calipers but the exhaust has a restrictor tube, I know this because I just bought one myself, I use a dremel speedclick arbor and the smallest cutting disc they supply for it...even then you may have to wear it down a bit in order to gain access looks like the pint is mine then This is the sort of thing you'll find, you can see the end of the tube in this pic although the 2A8 has a longer tube so you'll need a torch

Cheers bip best keep it under wraps kev

some of the early 125cc bikes had a 22mm carb venturi and the later ones a 24mm vanturi which is better, what is the number stamped into your carb Tom ? Also mr Yamaha had a thing about fitting smaller diameter inserts into the exhaust header pipe, what is the number stamped into your exhaust and have you checked the header, I suggested this earlier but you didnt respond ? It's not advisable to run without an air filter on a long term basis
