Thanks for prompt reply. There closed that's a relief. I do have a small stud showing but no thread on it. I've tried heat, pliers and socket but it won't budge at all. I was looking at a screw extractor but don't fancy snapping one and leaving it in the bolt. I'm probably going to center punch and ...

Hi, can anyone confirm that the 2 bolts that connect the expansion pipe to the engine are m8 x 1.25 and are the threaded holes closed? As I'm wanting to drill out the bolt and the possibility of having to use a holicoil without metal shavings going in the crankcase and messing up the engine. Any hel...

You don't need a working head light to pass an MOT. Put a bit of tape over the lens and it's a pass, just until you get the headlight sorted. Plus a standard mk2 light isn't that great at night anyway.

i dont know what u mean by revs out alot but if its hard to start and wont tickover it sounds to me like the carb isnt set up right. i carnt see it been leaking crank seals. but check to see what condition there in as there only about £10 from leisure trail. first thing to do if you havnt allready d...

if the temp light is coming on it could be coolant problem, air bubbles trapped, water pump not working or maybe running lean. check the coolant level on the expansion/header tank and in the radiator. you might want to drain the coolant out with the drain plug on the water pump. you could flush some...

if the fuel is that old drain the feul tank and put fresh in. also drain the carb small screw at the bottom. but really if you have left fuel in for 2 and a half years your carb will most certinally have varnished up and cleaning the carb will help best thing to do is take the tank off and rinse it ...

ok i see i think i will leave the dampning alone, but i could do with changing the preload. how do i go about that is it just a case of undo the big top screw and the tighten the lower one. also wont compressing the sping more by tightning the lower on make the ride height lower or is there somethin...

i am wanting to stiffen up the rear suspension on my mk2 but am not sure how to do it. its far to bouncey and the ride hight is a little high. also i would like to ride pillion but the rear suspension bottoms out. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

hi you can buy manuals from leisure trail for about £8 i think. but you dont need one. its really easy to clean out the carb. all the screws only go in one place and there isnt much to them. all you need to do is loosen the two clamps on the inlet manifolds (carefull with the mailifolds thouse bits ...

hi thanks for the reply im looking at getting a acerbis dhh headlight ce and dot approved £45.

hi yes you could put some lube on the throttle tube as it might be sticking to your bars. always check the easy and cheapest possibilities first before messing about with things like the carb. you could take the throttle grip off and see how the throttle moves without the grip. if i was you i would ...

i wanted to get a new headlight and cowl and was looking at the universal ufo twin headlight and the acerbis dhh twin but are they road legal and if not can you get away with them. thanks

could it be the throttle slide in the carb sticking i had this problem and i pulled the inlet manifold from the carb at the air filter slide and see if the slide is moving freely when you open the throttle.
