I wouldnt recommend a pod syle filter if thats what you are considering. More trouble than they're worth getting it set up right.

Mine came today, well pleased...like the tool roll they are in.

Greetings Cameron

they are fairly cheap I wouldnt worry too much about the cost

Welcome Steve, i'm surprised you (being a smoker fan) didnt get 'junior' a DT125 or DT125x. Those ones are supposed to smoke I would check the oil level and then be wanting to witness this smoke for myself. I suppose you bought it privately as seen? 'blackhat250' will be along shortly all excited about the smell of a kwacker stroker

God knows where you took it, never go there again for anything is my advice. I dont agree you would have to pay for any damage they caused through fitting incorrect parts either.

If it is a 100 jet, I cant think why! That is seriously way too small when standard is 130. I would fit the 140, thats what is in mine. Your carb should have a ID of 2H500 stamped on it by the way.

Jets are easy come by, I use motocarb they will post it to you. What size is it now?

what do you mean a jetting 'kit' ?

I dont think youre typing is all that bad Vez

yeah I can understand a custom built pukka hardtail chopper, what I cant understand is changing what is a bike built with suspension to hardtail. My first bike was a hardtail, a 50cc french built mobylette, couldnt believe my luck when i found a frame with a swing arm for it

why would you want to go out of your way downgrade your bike?

is the subject not covered in the owners manual, its a newish bike so hopefully you have one?

The bang was possibly the plug hitting something as it left the plug hole. If it runs nice and quiet now with the old plug things cannot be so bad eh? I suggest you keep the plug they fitted and if it's the wrong one you should take it up with the shop. The very least they can do is refund you in my opinion. If they wont just mention the words 'trading standards' to them as you leave.

how could you pay the UK dealer? will they got to the trouble to send to Africa? I will give you a link to a UK dealer, you can email them and ask for yourself, they got me a lanza part even though they were not imported to UK

What dates Drewps, what travel arrangements? I might go yet if I can

Doesnt sound right does it Dean. What happens if you start the engine in neutral, put the sidestand down, pull in the clutch and then put it into gear? does it stall? i'm wondering if the clutch switch isnt operating welcome to the forum BTW...Paul

Happy new year Barky ans all

You need to fit some of the autolube pipe back onto the carb oil feed spigot, bend it over a few times and crimp it so it is blocked, or block the pipe with a screw. youre right to be worried Edit, if it were me I would also be running a bigger jet. an early bike 135 maybe 140 better safe than sorry

welcome millietant Good intro, me and blackhat are also 70's biking dinosaurs

Just ordered a set of these if anyone else is interested http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/9-PIECE-METRIC-SPANNER-SET-NEW-/350416094939?pt=Women_s_Shoes&hash=item51966d46db sharper eyed members may spot they are listed in category eBay UK Tests - DO NOT BID however I have bought some and have heard that other people have received theirs without a problem.

Nope its the biggest sig I ever did see, even for a pic its too big as it doesnt fit the screen

Welcome imkev you know...your sig...is way...too big

Hi is there a drain screw / plug at the bottom of the carb float bowl?...worth a shot, it might be water in there. si IF there is and IF you use it you must put the fuel tap to PRI(ME) to re fill the carb after, that is assuming it IS a vacuum controlled fuel tap. All a bit of a guess really as I dont know too much about jog's ...Paul
