  1. the brake light runs from the battery The headlight is totally seperate and is directly powered from the magneto...so needs the key in position 2 possibly and the engine running and switches on. how many positions does your key switch have including OFF ? is it OFF, 1, 2, 3 ? on the left hand control is there an On / Off for lights ?

  19. Ha greetings Jamie bet I'm older than your pants! ,
  20. 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?
  21. 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
  22. 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
  23. 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
