  1. Your lucky day mits? Sixty quid BIN
  2. If its an MX 175 these were never exported to the UK, not sure about them but I assume they do have an autolube set up. How about an engine / frame number and a photo?
  3. Sorry to hear this escie. Hope it turns up for you. Keep an eye out on any local wasteland, parks etc.
  4. Tom, does it work ok if you give it some choke? if it does, you may need to strip and clean the carb, check the main jet and pilot jet are totally clean. If you use carb cleaner aerosol, keep it away from O rings and other rubber parts.
  5. Sounds like crank seals to me, does the transmission oil smell of fuel?
  6. Hi mits, thought you had sold it I wouldnt pay that much either WTF is P reg?, a year would have been better but http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/Yamaha/XVS_650_A_Drag_star_Classic/98-07/picture/Monoshock_-_Hagon/ http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/Yamaha/XVS_650_Drag_star/97-04/picture/Monoshock_-_Hagon/
  7. Drain the float bowl on the carb, there may be some crud or water in there. You may see a drain screw somewhere at the bottom of the bowl.

    Welcome Myami, great little all rounder is the YBR
  9. How will you get the jetting right? get it wrong and you could be looking at expense and damage.
  10. No idea but keep us informed eh Will it fit, is it the same physical size? Whats is a pwk?
  11. is it a drum brake, has the cam seized in the backplate (a common occurance) Try moving the operating arm by hand, pull it back, now is the wheel free?
  12. I came up with ideas foamy, for some reason you didnt respond
  13. I hope the steering lock was not the only barrier to prevent theft, frankly theyre pretty useless, at home you need some pretty hefty chains on and alarms are not expensive if its kept outside I suggest you fit one also...Ask 'Vez' about them.
  14. No shit sherlock! An unusual happy ending, great news
  15. Just fitted a goodridge braided fron line to mine. Remove reservoir cap. fit clear plastic tube to bleed nipple and punch a hole into a jam jar cap. Pass the clear tube to the bottom of the jar. top the reservoir up to its upper level. Stand on the left of the bike. Pull the lever 3 times and on the 3rd pull do not release it. Open the bleed nipple with your left hand, you will see dirty fluid come out, maybe air bubbles too., also the lever will continue to move to the handlebar. When the lever stops...close the nipple. Repeat the process but keep a check on the level in the reservoir. ...Paul
  16. Well the 3MB and the 3BN heads have both been used on DTR's at some stage. Scrubbed up well, just need a gasket set now, and some time, and a sunny day!
  17. You know we would help if we could, not many RXS users visit us at the moment I guess. Try BCF forum, seen a few there in the past
  18. Uugh...somebody sort that out for me
