Airhead

haha never experienced it, never really got further than junior school french! obviously youre way in front of me . just a thought we have a new member 'cerd' he is french i wonder if he could help? shipping it back seems a bit expensive??

pretty sure these are the ones but do your own research before buying http://www.ebay.co.u...0-/230465003944 I fitted some to my DTR

Haynes do one for you bike, number 887

lol its more than 2 years old tris

hey stuart

haha they wont get away with much though, 10 litre tank and all that!

use google translate and print out what the problem is and ask about a compression check

no mate i dont, i'm stuck now

Promise us one day you'll own a Yamaha

by the way columbo a 600 bandit will be cheaper to tax than a 650

here ya go

maybe i have have no experience of diaphragm cabs though....... yes i suppose you will see drain screws at the bottom but thats just a guess

Greetings declan

seems like it declan but they wont be cheap. maybe have it checked properly ?

i believe so kev

Hmphhh! you bought a Ferrari

try opening the carb bowl drain screws in case theres water in a bowl, but first you may be able to identify which cylinder is causing trouble by touching the exhaust header with a damp cloth...the problem one wont get so hot...try to use as little choke as necessary to allow it to run or it may mask the problem

There are two connections to the horn, one is 6v supply, the other is ground I suggest you eliminate or prove the horn itself... unplug the horn connections, wire one up direct to battery negative connect a flying lead to battery positive (dont allow the free end to touch your bike touch the free end to the other horn contact tab does it work? if it does then next prove the wiring connect the proper negative connection and repeat the flying lead positive wire test does it work if yes then the problem is in the supply from the battery, through the horn push to the horn if no the problem is in the negative return through to chassis and battery negative

do a compression check jasper, seems like maybe the inlet valve isnt seated right , compare it to one of the good cylinders

blimey nets...how come?

this one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW-CARB-INTAKE-JOINT-MANIFOLD-YAMAHA-VIRAGO-XV-250-/250899601333?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DDLSL%252BSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BUA%26otn%3D10%26pmod%3D330580120886%252B330580120886%26po%3D%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5473958531768767659

Désolé d'entendre des circonstances de l'acquisition de vous moto cerd, et il y avait, je vous demandant si c'était un 500 miles de vacances sorry to hear of the circumstances of you acquiring this moto cerd, and there was i asking if it was a holiday 500 miles

aye you could spray them i reckon, use primer suitable for plastics, key them a little with scotchbrite and smooth the scuffs or there again you could just leave them because they might look better now than after youve done them I was just thinking....the better and more shiny you make them the more ugly they will look when you look closely !
