belated greetings rampler

I get it too

Greetings Danny

you'd have to get them from a yamaha dealer, if they are still available they will order you some

sound like its ok to me skik, unless it has become worn and the movement is excessive?

most likely cause is the crank seal magneto side, you may see evidence of petrol / oil in the magneto behind the cover? Also check the condition of the carb to engine rubber duct and the tightness of the carb clamp

Hey DirtyDT, well go out on the lash when the money arrives...be sure to let us know mate

are you saying its revving too high and wont settle back down to idle but the throttle is closing fully?

Greetings kris

has an indicator bulb blown Bryan?

yeah i sent him to you...i promised him 'you're the guy'

Aye tis good stuff for the money, get it from wilkinsons stores

Greetings stan you lucky git

so isnt there a groove cut through the splines on the shaft...to enable the plate to be turned?

pat Had a little 'nip' last year so i just thought i'd check the damage...it was pretty minimal with just a couple of rub marks on the piston, rings were changed as a matter of course

Belated Paul

Great work Matt, the video made it so much better

Tyres affter a while running with the catspaw treaded tyres I wanted to fit something akin to the original yokohama block pattern type, I eventually found them here http://www.vintagetyres.com/ The rear is Ensign Trials Universal 3.50 x 18 Front Mitas Trial ET-01 2.75 x 21 other possibilities are Heidenau K67 ? but you wont get a 4.00 in the back? so you'd need to stick with 3.50 Pretty sure 'Kenda' do something like too but we cant get them easily in UK Petrol tank cover and seat cover were both new old stock and you just dont see them often at all, they came from ebay Tank cover is CEET an American firm Seat cover is 'Chalks Racing'
