Asda Greeter
A very loud, greasy, unattractive, tattooed, welfare dependent, chav, minger, woman wearing a Celtic top walked into ASDA in Castlemilk (a sprawling council estate on Glasgow 's east-side) with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance. The ASDA greeter said pleasantly, 'Good morning madam, and welcome to ASDA. Nice children you have there. Are they twins by any chance?' The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, 'F*ck naw, they're no twins. The auldest wan's 9, and the ither wan's 7. Why the f*ck would you think they're twins? Are you blind, thick or just stupid?' 'I'm neither blind nor stupid, Madam.' replied the greeter. 'I just couldn't believe you've been shagged twice Have a good day, and thank you for shopping at ASDA.

you can test the petcock sometimes just by sucking on the vac line that goes to the manifold and watching for fuel flow

Yamah DT 175MX Electrics
Thats correct On the left hand side handlebar control There are 2 switches The RIGHT switch is Headlamp ON/OFF...Down = OFF (Assuming key position 2) The LEFT switch is HIGH/Low beam...Down = LOW Note...the pilot and tail lights work from key position 2 and are notthing to do with the left handlebar control.

Another Exhaust Problem
first find out whats in it, workshop manual? Yamaha dealer? I dunno whats in it. The hard way is to take a look. Then either get the next size from Yamaha dealer or from somewhere else but I dont know if its a mikuni, keihin, del orto so cant see where to buy other than Yamaha. Wont be expensive anyhow.

Yamah DT 175MX Electrics
i'm not really surprised the lights apper to flash, tell me...this isnt a flash proper is it? more like a dimming / brightening thing eh? By the way was the motor revving or switched off? as for the lights Ignition key has to be in position 2. This will bring on the pilot even with the lights switch on the left hand control switched to lights OFF With said switch ON the tail light and instrument lights will come on and if the engine is running the headlamp main or dipped will also come on. key position 3. Pilot and tail light on. Engine will not run, key can be removed. This is a parking light function.

TZR 50 wont rev
You have good compression and a spark so I would just do the carb clean. Get some carb cleaner on it or place it in an ultrasonic bath, take out the jets and check they are clean and the holes are clear. Blow it dry and blow through the passageways with compressed air. Dont get carb cleaner on any seals, O rings etc. TAKE CARE NOT TO LOSE ANYTHING.

TZR 50 wont rev
Ok Jordan, you have had issues with redex before havent you? is there any chance that there could still be some in the carb? I would strip it again as its a know problem you had before.

First few days
wise words again from Gas-up.... Dont ride in the gutter, take command of your bit of road you own it. Expect every car is going to pull out on you, make eye contact with the drivers of these cars. Be lucky and learn, your riding wont be at its best if you harbour fear.
