    from wikipedia The term moped describes any low-powered motor driven cycle with an engine capacity not greater than 50 cc (3.1 cu in) and a maximum design speed of no more than 50 km/h (31 mph). Machines registered prior to 1 September 1977 as mopeds had to have pedals,[20] but engine power was unrestricted, and many could top 50 mph (80 km/h) (most famously the Yamaha FS1-E or "Fizzy"). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moped pedals were removed in 1977 like I said

    you found what?...so when is the year that pedals were firt fitted to mopeds then?
  12. Airhead replied to drewpy's post in a topic in The Bar
    er dont you mean 50cc
  13. Airhead replied to drewpy's post in a topic in The Bar
    come to think of it were talking bollocks, mopeds were always fitted with pedals more of a necessity at first, its just that when the more powerful 'sports' mopeds were built they had to continue with the trend, it would be a better question to ask when were they not fitted? isnt your brothers moby a moped? pre 73
  14. Get away...thats not like you!
  15. what do you mean they dont stock them, you mean they arent listed on their site?...they are a yamaha agent and can get you them...no? other option is Terry Silvesters in Holmfirth, they will mail order too
  16. yes i see what youre saying but since jesus was a boy we have all said and heard the term 'adjust the tappets' since there is no adjustment to be had on the tappets you posted a nice picture of we all know the tappet adjusters to be on the rocker arms,,,so then these are now the tappets
  17. Airhead replied to drewpy's post in a topic in The Bar
    cant remember, maybe 1973 at a guess from memory...perhaps you will find it on DVLA site
  18. Airhead replied to kanga's post in a topic in The Bar
    could it be an issue with the rain? have a good spray of WD40 on the ignition leads
  19. get yambits to send you some in the post then?
  20. from yamaha of course but athena make good ones too. PJME sell them but stay clear of the shit budget ones http://www.pjme.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2epjme%2eco%2euk%2fcgi%2dbin%2fss000001%2epl%3fSS%3ddt125r%26PR%3d%2d1%26TB%3dA%26SHOP%3d&WD=dt125r&SHOP=%20&PN=Yamaha_DT125R_Engine_Parts_Top_End%2ehtml%23a2757#a2757
  21. no its the head gasket, hope they didnt use one of those cheap nasty all metal pattern ones that have no rubberised coating
  22. Airhead replied to WRpaddy's post in a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    answered in your other post plz dont double post
  23. the bearings are often stamped/etched with a code, get this then you can source the new bearings from any bearings supplier much cheaper than dealer prices are you OK with removing them?, dont forget there is a spacer between them inside the hub
  24. head gasket again, perhaps the old residue wasnt cleaned properly ...or if the bike was ridden to long when the old one failed it could have warped the head and so would require skimming

    stay on the roundabout dave...you'll be fine
