you will also need to send a photo of your self, and the comment above about paying day membership will not apply as once you have your licence, you will be able to ride at most acu meetings in your area. I am sure you will not have lost your money, the ACU licence department are quite on the ball and they are very quick at getting the completed applications processed. TLTEL

The not revving bit makes me think it is an electrical problem, is it points or cdi ignition?,it check wiring and clean earth connections. TLTEL

That seems like a good deal, if the engine sounds sweet too, I would say go for it, TLTEL

Unfortunately you bought a very neglected bike to start with, so probably paid a little too much for it. You rarely get back the money you spent out on what are basicly service items. I would say £1000 maybe £1100 Beware the next time you buy a bike, at least you now know all the points to look at before you part with your cash. TLTEL

My golden rule, never do any work on the bike the day before a trial unless its absolutely necessary. normal service stuff is ok but don't investigate things like suspension. TLTEL

Nice shot of the special hand made exhaust, TLTEL

I have to agree with Dadof2 , it is not that common for the impeller to strip out and to have it happen twice to the same bike suggests there is a problem that's causing it to happen. But when you buy a used bike, you take a gamble, I don't think you should be liable for any repairs. (not in this country anyway) TLTEL

Is it April already ?? TLTEL

No Raga owners in tonight then??? I'm guessing here but if you undo the radiator fixing maybe there will be enough flex in the pipes to get at it. TLTEL

Wales ! Maybe ? TLTEL

Have you looked at it, I am pretty sure its only a thermo contact switch, that should unplug and unclip. You shouldn't have to drain the coolant . unless the Raga is totally different to the other Gassers. TLTEL

The rod is actually connected to the bottom of arm 3. TLTEL

make sure you use the correct thickness base gasket, TLTEL

that is a very clean bike, it has either not been used much or someone has spent a lot of time looking after it, great choice for a beginner. Good luck mate. TLTEL

Hi. I had a similar problem with mine a while ago, the chain was very noisy even after doing the sdjustment procedure, I removed the fly wheel to take a look at the bottom of the adjuster to make sure it was doing what it should, i found a hair line crack in the flexible part of the tensioner that runs on the chain, after replacing this part I have a quiet engine again. You should really change the fixed chain guide too but this requires the head to be removed so that bit can wait for now. By chaniging this part you can also check the adjust locking wedges are present and correct. TLTEL

Sounds like thermo switch Is faulty, TLTEL

Could also be a fuel issue (too much), or reeds, dirty air filter, TLTEL

The metal part of the coil should be earthed to frame, if its all standard there should be a bracket that the coil fits to with condenser attached and that bolts to frame just above the cylinder head. This also acts as a heat sink for the coil. I think the kill switch or ignition or both as I still have, just runs the points wire to ground. If you start it without a kill switch just make sure you can get to a connection quickly in case something goes wrong. TLTEL

Mick Jagger ? TLTEL

Or an expanding rawl bolt (concrete / masonry ) fixing to to lock inside bearing and pull it out or tap through from other side. TLTEL

I cant see the point in another brand, there not that many buyers of new trials bikes out there, they will soon be able to have a brand each! I have had Vertigo though and it is very unpleasant!! TLTEL

Hi Mat, yes that looks exactly right. TLTEL

Its a Sherco, yhey sound like that!! TLTEL

Hi I have Chinese copy carbs on both of my Hondas and they work fine had them probably 4 or 5 years now, I just got them from flee bay. they came jetted and I just fitted them. TLTEL

Hi, Although I asked the question I am not sure what is the right answer. I would assume the fan sucks air through the rad, I will have to check mine when I get it out next. TLTEL
