If it's that bad then change that as well as the ignition coil

It's not uncommon for them to come apart in this way dt, and usually just a simple job with the right equipment as you said

yep thats the type of equipment needed, as cynic said, find someone who can do it for you. Electric motor rewinders in your area would be a good bet or more likely a good car repair outfit

Fowlers are good, give them a ring and see what they can do for you

I'd try fitting a new ignition coil Georgee

Thats hard luck mate, the bearing is supposed to stay in the casing when the crancase halvess are split

Nahh you're right mate, later ones were LC, maybe the MX is the clue...I dunno heres another, they have different wheels to the LC's too http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&newwindow=1&sa=N&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbnid=y-S_FNCxwblk-M%3A&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fdatabikes.com%2Finfophoto%2Fyamaha%2Frd_80_mx-1983.html&docid=jER3xPod31rfxM&imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fdatabikes.com%2Fimgs%2Fa%2Fc%2Fj%2Fr%2Fn%2Fyamaha__rd_80_mx_1983_1_lgw.jpg&w=640&h=478&ei=XagbU4S3LMaThgeIvoD4Aw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=4781&page=1&start=0&ndsp=16&ved=0CFkQrQMwAA

http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/1278411/ Why a TY50 engine Steve? Thats a trials bike and will be geared so!

wow now that was damn cheap slice

yeah if the pv is working then there may be a fault with the horn...does it even 'try' to work? why not sustitute your mates horn for a test anyway, yours is the RE version so if the starter is working then it wont be a faulty battery

Greetings Ogwen, you in Swowdonia dude?

OK if you find out anything post it up for others

This any use Gary? http://www.gresk.com/2011/06/endr-then-ntrd-displays-on-yamaha-xt.html

check your bulb filament with a multimeter

on such a low power bike you may not need the grinder! Check to see if theres a split link fitted, even if there isnt I'd fit one on the new chain myself

give these guys a call slice http://www.robinsonsfoundry.co.uk/content/pages/shop/parts/Suzuki.htm

Get there really early nigel for the Jeans, they fly off the racks they do

Hes probably right, oils have got better over the years. I wouldnt bother with it though theres no harm in using a little too much. If you'd have gone down the premix route you would have been using even more oil.

it's possibly an after market cable, they are often the wrong size. I'd re solder the nipple or make up a new section of cable myself

so you've tried hundreds of times, now try pressing down hard with your foot on the stand and keep a straight back . If you;re not prepared to listen and try out good advice good luck with your search

Rather than feeling that you have to physically pull the bike upwards, resist this and push down hard with your right leg on the stand....she'll come up easy

I just dont get them, what are they for, carrying 3 on a bike perhaps, the one on the buddy seat...well their legs will just be dangling ?

If you want practical, just fit a carrier

Greetings Nyx, good to see your pride isnt dented...sad to see your pride'n' joy is
