Fishy- I have never seen that wierd metal tube attachment underneath the front brake before, it looks bent out of shape and a real target for being smacked with debris off the road/trail and is too thin, so will add more pressure to pulling the brake efficiently...the brake line should attach to the...

A dodgy old prostitute might look good in the dark, especially after a few pints Fishy!!
Lets see her in the daylight, without you flashing past trying to prove you can do a wheelie without falling off again!!

Sooo cynical you lot. Yes, I LOVE my 2 strokes- always will (hell, I owned a YZ250, X7 and an RD350 in my time!). However, until they re-incarnate the wonderful and bonkers bikes like the CR500 - which they won't, then we are at the mercy of the manufacturers with their silly aluminium-framed, pollu...

Seals should be OK, unless perished and then you will be losing fluid. Best thing- new discs (I paid about 30 dollars each disc), new pads (15 dollars each) then bleed the system and new fluid- 5 dollars and 1/2 hour time. Mind you, mine were much better, but I still can't pull a 'stoppie' on mine. ...

Well, I had a few problems with the old girl last week- only giving 1/2 power again, not revving out fully, now making a new rattle from the gearbox- so she is up on the ramp again awaiting a damned good tinkering. Bugger. My mate (madly) lent me his 2011 YZF250 for 2 days to 'try it out'- (he owns ...

Tang height is 16mm from top of float to carb body- just when it touches the valve pin to stop the petrol flow. Check the tickover needle for cronk blocking it and open the air/mixture screw 1 1/4 turns from fully closed. Make sure petrol is flowing into the float chamber when reconnected by opening...

I like it- cheap and effective. The headlamp on the Mk3 is just cronk, but luckily I do very little dark riding.
You could always make them blue and flash them on and off on the way to hospital if you had a fall!!

The grooves in the metal disc and ridge on the edge where the pads rub tells me it needs changed- I did both of mine last month and put cintered pads on too- they are much better. The pads nowadays are almost tougher than the discs themselves, so wear them away after a year or so of heavy use...Sayi...

Nice one mike- I will keep the peepers peeled after you bought up all the stock!! Is the 520 the correct size (diameter and length) for all CRM's then- I need it to fit my extremely large 51 rear sprocket??

Beer coupons- can I drink them???

Anyhow, don't want to be compared to anyone's farts- 'misses or not!!

Consider it a gift Fishy!! Not even sure how much it will cost to get to you, how long it will take, or even if it will get there!! -This is 'Nam for God sake!!

http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t501/njhardy/Photo0054.jpg There's the little fella!! Only problem now is the Paypal is buggering me about.. Give us a bit to sort it out and I can take it down the post office to post it to you (maybe this weekend) if I'm not busy falling off the said bike.... No...

Will dig it out and take a snapshot. Oh- not sure if the lock on it will work with your key..... FABIO put up a message about that recently.

Thanks fallenm. Good job fella, but 125 quid for a chain- bloody hell, that is inflation!!!!??

Yeah- seen those foldy jobs, but not sure how useful they are. The 'under the bars' ones look good, but are just as bad for ripping your kneecaps off. I just prefer no mirrors for trailing- they just catch too much brush and are painful when you fall on them. I had a friend break multiple ribs on hi...

Really trying to find a chrome or gold-linked chain to fit my 14-51 tooth sprockets- don't mind what make, but would prefer o-ring if possible. Anyone know possible suppliers??
