  1. I covered the inlet in post #64 Andy, I dont think chopping it all off is a great idea...whats the point? The shape of the moulding diverts the flow in the right direction. I opted for some modification though and ended with a shape more akin to the YZ and TZR bikes. I dont have that annoying induction roar now with the snorkel on so i'm happy, as for performance...probably not noticeable but all these little bits added together have improved the bike no end...not finished yet, just gotta tinker more
  2. Thanks for sharing that Last time I did it was when the petrol was being blockaded at the refineries and petrol stations were rationing it...big queue's at the filling stations. Theres me in the queue at morrisons with my then NEW bandit ...engine off waiting my turn. So the queue starts to move and I decide to push the bike instead of the bother of starting it up, like you do. Anyway I slipped too and the bandit...which is a hefty weight starts lo lean away from me, I hung on in vain, the bike went over and I went on top of it before gathering myself together and re-joining the queue in an orderly manner. I've never been so relieved to leave a petrol station in all my life

    Welcome to the YOC forum Mark
  6. 500 miles Are you desperate I take it thats round trip, good job fuel is cheap over there
  7. Welcome to the YOC Karl, forget modding it any further like the others say, wait a while and get a 125
  8. lol you heartless tw4t
  9. I dont know anything about virago 125's or any common probs they have. It will be an import with the KMH speedo, insurance companys will mark down its value so dont pay as much as you would a UK bike,
  10. This Sunday, me Vez and possibly Darren. Depends on the weather. Its near Nelson http://www.redroseclassictrials.org.uk/events.html
  11. Savage verbal attack...where OK i'll admit to a bit of sarchasm there but please... Well I would have done what I could, I probably would have been the only one to bother, but if it's okay with you lets forget it.
  12. Hey Karl, fancy going on a rideout to watch some trials riding?
  13. I dont think you could do it for long enough, if the wweather was better a greenhouse would be good, its up to you with the heat gun....not too close mind
  14. Wow looks like a new one Vez, might be an idea to let it fully cure before fitting it, I usually throw mine on top of the boiler at work for a few days.
  15. I liked it to but it wasnt durable, it would have rusted along the welded joints
  16. That was quick, so you thought the same then. Another pic?
  17. I'm more concerned about can you afford it, bar meals and drinks for the weekend.. Thats the spirit Kev...not!
  18. Ouch, sounds bad! Could be seized. Take the exhaust off...see if you can see and breakage or scoring of the piston
  19. Looks superb...apart from the can. A nice stubby one would look good .
  20. Thats a good point there and worth a try, I would be more incined to barbecue the pipe if I thought it was blocked though. Try attaching a cylinder type vacuum cleaner the header pipe, you should get a strong suction at the other end, a blocked pipe would show poor suction and a racing motor in the cylinder vac.

    Come on come on you lot pay attention Vez was talking to Armand Jones, but does he not realise the signature quads are Yamaha blasters
  22. http://www.tsrvapourblasting.co.uk/Prices.html £20 + postage for a single carb, thats quite reasonable
  23. Sure did mate, you gonna tell me you did too
  24. Did...Dob...Rhymes with....
