  1. leaking head gasket? did you fit a nrw one and torque it?
  2. what do you weigh?
  3. Ha take that you awkward b4st4rd, ....just sorned it
  4. Yes it could have a blockage to the fuel feed in the rear cylinder, either at the carb or the pump (depending on the plumbing arrangement)
  5. Greetings Zsaba
  6. If you do take your wheel for a balance check, it wont be to your nearest tyre place (BWJ) most of them only do car wheels and can not do bikes, so its a tyre place that can do bike wheels or a bike shop that can...the beer tokens have just increased! I'm for setting the fork height correctly too. BUT if the previous owner was a little vertically challenged, he may have lowered the back too? so this would cancel out the front being lowered., you should put both front and back to standard if this is the case.
  7. Have you passed your test, its only supposed to do 30 isnt it If youre only 16, its usually dead cheap to reach 17, (too young to drink, too young to smoke, mum and dad pay for everything) and when youre 17 you can get a 125, restricted of course
  8. Wallace & gromit wanabee Nice garden ornament?
  9. Sound like the fuel gas gone to reserve, switch the tap to RES and fill her up, dont forget to switch it back to ON when you do fill up, or you'll be walking again sometime It its already switched to RES, youre out of fuel!
  10. Am I going madder
  11. Hello Noob pics? see FAQ's ...Paul
  12. Was it something I said should have gone to specsavers

    Yamaha RXS100

    It might be a squere relay though like on my DTMX, more than likely 2 pins, 1/4 blades at 90 degrees to each other, only guessing but worth investigating
  14. Wow thats some collection there, nowt wrong with the X7, tis a super little stroker. Welcome in lurker

    Zincing

    To add insult to injury I even took some spares in as well, thought I might as well get them done too while I was at it. On a brighter note I went to another company (Unity Plating) in Oldham, the chap there did a test and confirmed the were indeed chrome and agreed they were rough. I found a spare front wheel axle and he has plated it zinc, free of charge as a sample...it's the mutts nuts and just how I wanted my stuff to look. I am actively replacing as much of the first stuff both new and used, no prizes for guessing who gets that job. I am in discussion with the first place.
  16. to make thins worse they might just have been pretending to have a rope, its been on u tube for ages now...little shits
  17. Damnnn!!!!! DTR no starty car again
  18. Greetings Ryan.
  19. Yeah the DTMX is dead easy like the RD's. As for the Bandit I dont suppose the plugs have ever been out and its a 2003 bike
  20. Greetings Sean, good choice. should get your money back when it's time to move on.
  21. Welcome littlered, its on the carb somewhere They usually have quite a big head, knurled metal or moulded plastic. AKA tickover adjustment screw. Just guessing though as i aint familiar with the beast in question
  22. is yours a water cooled Paul, I would have been worried with the extreme weather over the Xmas period and the run up to Xmas! And 'Uncovered' under all that snow...shame on you
  23. Aahh so you like to enter princess fiona when shrek's not around
  24. A half decent forecast for the next 3 days spurred me to try and start the Bandit up, having flattened the battery once I just managed to get it ticking over (roughly), the next 10 minutes spent trying to open the throttle which has the quirky characteristic of killing it until finally I could give it some revs. Then I noticed one header pipe didnt burn me quite as much as the other three, so then..its new plugs all round when I get some, and I have no idea what sort of job it is to change them, on first glance it looks like tank off. (not looked in the manual yet though) so its the DTR out of hibernation I guess
