    do the easy stuff first before you start delving, after all you did say compression was good. WD40 and new plug = easy

    is compression ok? have you sprayed the HT lead and coil with WD40? Try a new plug even if you do have a spark with the one fitted!

    OK has the bike got a carburettor? If it has then try draining the float bowl there may be water in there

    Back in the day they all had pedals, if it didnt...you had to wait until you were 17! anyway it was a field bike mine was...was a hoot
  7. 2 cans will last for years, dont spray it on the bike, spray it into the aerosol cap and brush it on. Keep it away from disk brakes

    First bike Steve, you know how it is, you of all people know Best 50p I ever spent....and sold it for £8
  9. yep, salt will eat your bike...keep an eye on it!

    Hey LP try a little blip of the throttle just at the moment you pull the clutch, it will match the engine speed to the lower gear and change easily
  14. With assistance try putting the bike in a high gear and getting someone to sit on it and hold on the brakes, not a great method it places the crank under twisting stress...but no tools required. or find chain filter wrench...can it really be that hard?

    so your bike is a 2007 bike eh? well if its been used a lot and stored outdoors theres every chance that only the experienced will be able to remove those screws, by all means have a go but dont spoil them if they resist your efforts...get help

    Just testing
  21. have you tried here consmos ? http://www.hmgpaint.com/
  22. Yeah get a proper flywheel puller Martin, and dont forget a method to get a good grip of the flywheel so you can undo and re-torque the holding nut without damage the the flywheel, I use a chain type filter wrench and some rubber strips...works a treat, I strongly advise you do torque the fly up properly or you'll have it slipping and shearing the woodruff key!
  23. Greetings Martin theres a few of us mad about DT's in here
