    The fuel leaking is either the valve and seat or the float adjustment or the float is leaking.

    Although I havent had them fitted from day dot. I recently tested mine one the bench at work, they worked just fine nice and bright despite the 6V electrics. I take it you have no indicators then Lee? do you have the relay?

    Yeah for a lightweight bike that brake must be quite something. I have a DTR, not the best brakes but adequate...especially compared to DT175 drums

  14. You could say he's musically challenged then.
  15. Aah, didnt realise that...

    I see he had the hammer at the ready for when the DRV goes on the blink
  17. But it's the engine he wants out
  18. i'm confused now, I thought it was an engine bolt that was stuck not a swing arm pivot...although the op did for some reason put the words engine and pivot together
  19. The problem is often that the frame flexes, the wheels flex etc etc, all in all it is not a solid structure when you are hammering at it and will absorb much of the force you are trying to exert on the bolt. The answer can be to place a metal tube over the head of the bolt and up against the frame, jam the other end of the tube up against a solid brick or concrete wall and get a helper to keep it in place. Now your full effort will delivered to the bolt...if it doesnt move now it's the sawing method . Be sure that the bolt will clear the inside of the tube, dont forget some bolts have an in-built washer under the hexagon. I didnt want to see the bloody bike but the bolt!...never mind
  20. Well we have had some desperately low temperatures, I hope your anti-freeze coolant isnt weak. Have the compression tested if you think it's low.
