    Could be a bit dangerous that!
  2. they wont matter a jot, dont bother doing anything else. Ues loctite on the mounting screws and dont go mad when tightening these screws because the reeds may lift away from seated if you do
  3. yeah its always good to meet up, shame john couldnt make it. This year i didnt take any photos. Glad we went yesterday its drizzle here now!

    show us some pics of the bike and exhausts its a 2 stroke and you have swapped the expansion pipes...is this right?
  5. Greetings yannik, leave this one for intros and ask elsewhere as you have already, or you will have two sets of answers to the same questions...not good.
  6. yambits will get you them...is it a twin shock bike then?

    yeah looks good Harry, what have you done to it have you sprayed it? is the frame number clearly visible and will be so after the top coat? it would be best if it is.
  8. Greetings SSB wow two v50's in just days
  9. better than new v she's shaping up to be a really nice example you just fit washers over the pop rivet ends when you're riveting through soft materials

    Hi chatz this forum is for intros and you didnt...really! there are other forums for problems
  12. must be just the airbox and square arm thing then eh?

    Frankly...no it it isnt, the guys not even asking for help to fix something, intros can be short or long, preferably not too short. Many intros go unanswered my members here...even members who have criticised noobs for not posting intros. I can see what your beef is with noob andy but not with this chap

    poor intro? why mike? The bike is a v50 as kayos said Greetings kayos not seen much on v50's lately, last one was an aussie chap but he dwindled away!
  16. yeah I would hazard a guess it probably comes down to points ignition or CDI as to which carb was fitted.
  17. Airhead replied to bindie's post in a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    you can buy lead from good motor factors shops, the difficulty is removing the old lead from the coil as many jap coils have them glued in position! iirc drewpy changed one once
  18. I gave them seat spike things a go, I know staples are the usual way though, the spikes are really made for the metal pan seats
  19. Some used 24mm carb Tony, but it still might be an idea to source a carb, there were two versions so depending on the bike airbox arrangement the appropriate one could be sourced, it all comes down to the swing arm...square or round profile
  20. you forgot to say 'One more thing'
  21. Nahh its new mate, just needs some use to loosen up, try getting neutral as youre changing down to stop, ie 3rd, 2nd, neutral...then stop. However if youre a learner and in training you'll no doubt be told something else Ticking is normal as the engine cools on many bikes
