    Yep, whoever did that removed the washer in order to have enough threads left to hold the jet securely.

    Welcome to the forum Leigh, good luck with the search, the only thing I can say is go to the DVLA website and there you can check if its taxed or sorned, at least you would know if its still operational then. You might also find this interesting Here

    Dunno mate, I would do my own..... get quotes from different places, it would be cheaper to take the wheels in one at a time if youre up to the job, dont forget though...it doesnt have to be a dealer to fit the tyres, any bike shop would do it so shop around for the best quotes.

    Thought I would bring this to your attention in case any of our members want to attend. The mother of a soldier killed in Afghanistan has made an appeal for people to take part in a motorcycle cavalcade at his funeral in Somerset. Cpl Tom Gaden's body was brought back to RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire on 3 March. The 24-year-old 1 Rifle soldier will have a military funeral on 16 March and the plan is for motorbikes to follow the procession. Judy Gaden, from Taunton, said her son was a biking enthusiast and would have loved a farewell of bikes. Gordon Kemp, ex-traffic policeman who taught Cpl Gaden how to ride, has joined in a public appeal to other enthusiasts. "The more we can do, the more we can honour Tom. "I am calling on employers to allow motorcyclists just to nip out for an hour," he said. Funeral Appeal

    A belated hello and welcome HC, not lurking any more eh?
  11. As Blackhat says, you really need to check the bulb properly, either using a multi meter or by connecting it with some leads to your battery terminals, when youre looking for faults its better to have concrete proof than "looks ok"
  12. Heres my key, PM me your email address if you want a copy of photo.
  13. I will take a picture of my key this evening, maybe your mum / dad will be able to see it on the forum if its the right style.

    1. Blue is live when key is ON position yes. 2, yes it does but answer (3) will hopefully explain further 3. You havent looked at the info you have already been given. In the owners manual that Yamagod sent you, page 24 of 112 " NOTE, When the engine is started the headlight and meter lights come on automatically and the lights stay on until the main switch is turned OFF even if the engine stalls" 4. I think it means Pilot Only, you can switch the headlight off in this position ...Paul
  16. Some great shots there OT.

    Sorry i dont know, but if it were me i'd be going up just one size jets are cheap and if your up to doing it yourself it'll cost very little...dont expect major difference in power though. You could also consider getting advice from arrow exhausts, see if they have a 'contact us' email address and ask for their advice.
  18. James, you keep asking the same question, I already said get a 10% bigger than standard and try that. There is one thing you can do meantime and thats check your mixture screw setting, it might possibly need to be turned clockwise about 1/2 turn, this will richen the mixture slightly at up to around 1/2 throttle openings. ...Paul
  19. Airhead replied to bobbyhollie05's post in a topic in Dual Sport, Offroad Bikes
    They are slow compared with DT's, but its worth getting a bigger jet for it, ask your Yamaha dealer to get you the next size up from standard, it wontt make it a fast bike though i'm afraid.
