Nah forum was off the air for a couple of hours

Anyway, did I tell you the one about the snail?? A snail walks into a bar and the barman tells him there's a strict policy about having snails in the bar and so kicks him out. A year later the same snail appears and says, "What did you do that for? " You might just have heard it before tho........!

Come out come out wherever you are

Thats a contradiction

try bikepics..you may get an idea there, also the aircooledrdcub..would be good, lots of expertise there ...Paul

Good stuff now enjoy it, dont forget that they are now salting the roads so keep the chain and chrome etc clean with a regular wipe down with WD40 on a rag (other products are available )

Shes a beauty, looks good in red

I thought newer bikes had no off position and used a vacuum tap...could be wrong though

This is what you will see when you upload an image to your photobucket.

Once you have set up a Photobucket account,you can upload pictures from your PC there. use the upload images button a pop up screen will appear and browse to the correct location and image in your PC. Just select this image and press the 'open' button, the image will then upload to photobucket. once its there you will see that if you mouse over it some fields drop down below the image and you can select the IMG field and copy it, then paste it into your post like this ...Paul

Bikes can be troublesome to start after a prolonged spell of inactivity. Charge the battery again and try again, use the choke and dont open the throttle.

Leave it at home and buy a bicycle,,,,,,, legs will get strong Then get a bigger motorcycle,,,,,,, legs will get weaker Then buy it back Simples

Should have gone to specksavers

Great intro anderboogie, welcome to the forum. one or two other 'Yanks' here

But your bike will still be 6v will it, whats the plan for the bike...road use?

Relax its been there all the time. You can see yours...mr X can see mr X's, but moderators can see them all. Its just a moderator tool if any 'fighting' or other ungentlemanly conduct takes place

Looks like I am needing a rebore, 38000 miles on + 0.25mm, must be the cheap oil i've been using

Just order one from your local yamaha dealer

make sure that the brake pads are free to move and you may have to lightly scrape out any old and hardened brake dust to allow this to happen. Also how many pistons are there in the caliper, if its only one then it will be a sliding caliper and you need to see that it is free to do this.

Hi Paul...get that battery on charge, I'm almost certain it will solve the problem ...Paul

Aahh that explains it, Thanks Alex

No they will be the throttle slides, the choke butterfly valve will be behind that (engine side) I suppose what i said earlier is wrong then as you wont see them by looking down the carb...just have to watch the linkages then...check they are operating properly
