    have a look at the plate behind your fuel tap, you may see it has OFF / RUN / RES positions ??? Set to OFF every time the bike is not in use The tank holds 11 litres including reserve Set to RUN when you have enough fuel in the tank If the engine starts to splutter / die, set to RES you have 3.4 litres left so get her filled up
  5. Its great to see you gushing with enthusiasm dave, take care riding in London though Yeah those straps often have a metal clip that hooks behind something...?
  6. heat can find weaknesses in ignition stator coils, they can open cct when they become hot and re-connect when they cool down. !st thing to check is if it's still sparking when the engine cuts out

    my bandit has carbs and a fuel gauge fil
  8. Airhead replied to HarleyJay's post in a topic in The Bar
    I dont know about the fuel gauge but you should have a 'Reserve' position on the fuel tap...whatever you do ...dont ride around day to day with the tap set to reserve, it's there to give you chance to get filled up with fuel.

    perhaps the battery is on it's way out?
  13. it's pushed into the brake lever perch isnt it, just prise it out of there and fit the new one....dont see why this has anything to do with the throttle assembly but then again you can see it and I can't

    If it's using the water then perhaps it needs a new head gasket and the head will need to be checked for warpage

    Phew, good call bakes. Get that test passed fella, you'll enjoy a 650cc far more without a doubt
  21. Ooohh nice
  22. Airhead replied to Chris125's post in a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    the easiest way to test the rings is a compression test in the first instance, if compression is down you would strip down the top end and examine the wear of the rings/bore/piston etc
  23. Airhead replied to Chris125's post in a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    Its a 2 stroke, if it were a 4 stroke that might be the case
  24. Airhead replied to Chris125's post in a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    do a compression test chris, the motor could be worn out fella, if you're lucky just new rings will sort it but start with a comp test
