    Pat I know exactly how you feel i've been there several times before myself. Above all other pets a dog is loyal brave and trusting, a border collie is indeed one of the more intelligent dogs anyone could share their life with. Try to remember the best times you had together instead of feeling down.
  4. Well its going somewhere, its either leaking to the ground (or possibly yourebrake) leaking to the coolant, remove the rad cap and dip some paper in the liquid, it its oil you will see and it will not dry out or its being burned and would be very smokey you will need new brake pads either way whether its brake fluid or oil but not before the problem is solved.
  5. Class lmao
  6. How long have you had the bike? has it been better than this? Its a 50cc moped and not a powerful one at that...wouldnt you expect to downshift on hills? Cant see a K&N making it better but you should do a compression test, it may need new rings or at worst a re-bore. How many miles has it done? Ever had a re-bore before?
  7. ok Tommy its a sticky one.

  9. Good one boys, nice to see members out and about together and seeing you didnt have any football matches to watch or owt
  10. me too, helicoil it. you need to be real careful with drilling though, I would remove the barrel myself and make up a jig so thet it could be done on a pillar drill. Doing it by hand would be much quicker though but harder to get dead straight.

    When I were a lad I used to collect car registration numbers, thankfully I grew tired of it soon enough. perhaps this is just a progression on that theme . As for getting away with it I imagine it depends on several things what type of bike what the copper thinks of you and what mood he is in ohh and not to forget...whether he is anti bike as some are

    on my oil pump it has a plastic cap held on with a clip instead of a screw personally I would rather have a screw..te he Anyway there is something you should do when first starting the bike. Remove the oil pump cover and with the bike idling, turn the pulley until it stops this will allow the pump to stroke at its maximum, and will quickly fill the oil delivery pipe...around 30 seconds should do it.

    Sorry Vez never heard of it, I thought once payments were made it was done and dusted, the thing is when you accept payment watch out they might take the hire bike back...just check this out.

    Welcome the forum Check for a good strong flow of fuel, pull off the pipe from the carb spigot and run fuel off into a container, there is a strainer mesh in the petrol tap. Also check the petrol tank cap vent is clear. ...Paul

    Robbie either there is something wrong with your torque wrench, or you had it set wrong. It has to be one hell of a way out to actuelly shear the bolt! If you are so much a novice as even needing a torgue wrench when only a nip was required then I would cross your fingers, smear some liguid silicone gasket around the flange and leave well alone because it is going to be a big job to get that sheared bolt out, if indeed it can be done. That picture link ?? see FAQ's for posting oictures.
