Towbar Rack
I can highly recommend the Dave Cooper bike rack have it fitted to my Ford C-max which is around the same size and height as the Zafira it replaced easy getting the bike on and off and the two wheel sections come off easy for storage couple off ratchet tie downs and your away don't have the room to store a trailer so for me it was the only option Ali

Bleeding The Clutch
Had my first trial on Sunday,also had an off on the first section with the effect of bending my clutch lever into an attractive U shape, anyway managed to straighten it out ....a bit and carry on, done the first lap then coming back to the start .... no clutch it wouldn't engage with the hilarious effect of me starting it in neutral then putting it into gear as it shot off with me holding on ... Oh how i laughed ... err not quite anyways i believe i need to bleed the clutch there was some fluid leaking round the lever i do have the replacement seal kit which i had bought the other week (

White Exhaust Fumes
Yeah it runs fine this may be a possibility the kids were "helping" me to clean the bike on Sunday but also on the premix ratio 50:1 maybe a bit rich what do you think/use/advise???

White Exhaust Fumes
After experiencing some white/smokey exhaust fumes at the weekend i decided after some advice from this board to check for water ingress on taking the plug out it looks well oily and fouled ...so before i start taking the rest apart it looks like my mix is to rich using pre mix at 50:1 been advised 80:1 also seen 66:1 mentioned as the correct mix ???????? The bike is a Gas Gas pro 250 2006 model so what mix do you use and what brand of 2 stroke premix is the least smokey any advice from the good people of the forum much appreciated Ali

White Exhaust Fumes
Hi i have a 06 Gas GAS 250 use 50:1 mix with no problems but have noticed yesterday that the exhaust fumes seemed very white(so much so i thought there had been a new pope elected) havent done anything different water ingress somewhere?? clean with a power washer but always careful round wheel bearings and engine casings mix to rich/weak? any help would be great it isn't having any effect on the performance of the bike but hate to ignore it incase it's something that could cause problems later
