Not that im bothered it doesnt. i had the bottle given me.

The ACU aren't bothered if you can ride the bike or not, they just want the money you pay for the licence.

I have the Putoline TT trial oil that's meant to be strawberry scented and to be honest I cant smell it. It just smells like an ordinary two stroke oil .

Interesting read just last week I had been trying to make the Beamish Suzuki's front brake better.

No worries, it happens, im sure a mod will move it over. but at least my reply may help lol

Lol didnt notice it was in the Yamaha forum, i just clicked on the Recent Topics on the right of the page

bet an XL250 lots on ebay

Most of my gear is Wulfsport I have found it to be well made and does the job great so far i have Boots Winter gloves (summer gloves aren't Wulfsport) Jacket trousers

When I got my Beamish in April it had a new pair of MT43s. To be fair at my level, "Beginner" they seem fine, I haven't had any issues with grip, but then I don't have any experience of other brands. They will do me for now. If the bike had needed new tyres when I got it, I wouldn't have necessarily gone for the Mt43s though

Until the points wear. I meant with this new setup, once set, its set for life, as it has no touching parts to wear out, only a failure of a component would require anything being changed.

Fitted some new brake shoes today on the Beamish While it was apart I moved the brake arm to where its meant to be, it had been in the wrong place since I bought the bike back in April. even without bedding the new shoes in, its feeling a lot better than before. Only one spline out but makes a difference How it was how it set now (there is even a mark on the cam to show where its meant to be)

Interesting read. I like the bit were it says they changed the needle position and mains jets, so many people forget about doing this with there old 70s n 80s bikes, when they start running at 50:1 or 60:1 when the manufactures jetted it for say 20:1. Its going to run rich on the fuel/air In the case of my Beamish Suzuki's 20:1, you now start running it at 50:1 or higher, it runs to rich on the fuel/air. I fitted a better flowing 2 stage filter on mine and opened the airbox a little more to get the fuel/air mix right. She is running great and carbaration is just about spot on, very crisp and just pulls clean though the revs. Had a go on a Beamish that was running around 70:1 with the stock jetting airbox etc and it was terrible was bogging down and wouldn't pull clean though the revs and was hard work to ride.

looks a great day out

Never got a reply from the 3 emails sent them.

Aldi do so good bike gear also, i have some of there base layerstuff and it really help to keep the wind chill away, when out on my road bike

pity its about 80miles from me. just a little to far to drive on a Sunday morning lol

I have the Black ones, but haven't used them yet, took them as spares in case it was cold last time I went out but didn't need them. Good to know they are nice and warm In grey size L £15.95. have used this guy a few times and its always been fast postage. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wulfsport-Neoprene-Waterproof-Adults-MX-Motocross-Bike-Casual-Insulated-Gloves-/291936189806?var=&hash=item43f8c0bd6e:m:mXDjvu8847Tg31Sxo6ZOIJw

Yeah , once set , you can forget about it and I'm sure like most others, the bike will run better on it.

Really enjoyed the day, its a great venue and it was the easiest one to find, for someone that's never been before. pity my back was to bad to ride

Welcome Jason

How would you do it ? an extra head gasket on a watercooled bike is risky, one more place for a leak to start As said low compression head only real option

The Beamish is getting a lot of use , now i have a practice ground, i have even done my first trial(which i won my class)

Its going to be a case off job, everything is inside there. its not catching anywhere is it ? I had the same problem with my Beamish Suzuki, it turned out to be the wrong size washer on the bolt that was catching on the frame

Sadly my back gave out Sunday morning as I was getting my stuff together to go ride the event , so I could only go and take pictures, the back is worse today, so no riding this weekend by the look of it. link to the video's I recorded yesterday https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz3viLD8efZluqqde98Goz_y0puzwsN84

It didn't work, my back went even worse today and I'm now going to need to see the Doc
