  1. dont forget that there may be nothing really wrong with the regulator. It may simply be a bad connection, broken wire, insecure ground etc

    Lets place bets on a: regular stoppies b: bent forks c: regular wheel lockups looks good though, is it going to stockport then?

  15. Ha greetings Jamie bet I'm older than your pants! ,
  16. It is really unlikely that you will need either a float or a needle, usually the float needle valve may have just jammed sometimes a gentle tap on the carb with the wooden stock of a hammer will free it, but as we have said before the vacuum tap should be stopping the leak anyhow Starter motor?
  17. with hardly any mechanical ability I would think It's best to have the job done for you. It's sounds unusual that both should be leaking and I take it the stancheons are not pitted anywhere in the working area? is there a manual for this bike? it may be in the manual how to do it
  18. they all smoke and smoke a lot more until the engine is warmed up The pump will deliver a metered quantity, this isnt really adjustable...is it an issue there then? :greetings and
  19. You'll most likely have to go to a yamaha dealer dave, If thats not easy for you try phoning one Fowlers of Bristol if you cant find help locally, you'll need your model code I guess, is there a sticker somewhere on the frame...perhaps beneath the seat?...sorry i'm not familiar with the model but others on here have them
  20. Get it in your diaries everyone Friday 13th - Sunday 15th September
  21. you could try sucking on the vacuum line a few times to test the action of the flow / no flow
  22. Yep youre right Dave, if the vacuum tap is working this cannot happen! so where is the leak coming from then?
