cheers lads. we dont usually get up there until 3 anyway,but i wouldnt mind watching a section or 2 anyway. totally new to trials, so dont no if you meant "observe" a section in an official capacity GIZZA5. thanks again lads

does anyone no what time the trial at charltons will finish tomorrow? just a rough idea so i can go and practice. cheers

im not to sure if you can practice at carlton, but trials are still held there. thanks for the advise. regards anth

hi PeterB, yea just getting back to the charltons after a 5 week break, due to drowning my bike there, & training for a coast 2 coast bike ride. if i remember rightly, there is a single black wire coming from the coil area. so if i get a twin wire kill switch, i solder one too the black, & the other to the frame? cheers anth

LOL..its a 2000 txt

just removed all the lights and horn ect, the kill switch was part of the light switch assembly. i want to fit a switch, where do the wires go???

the quickest way to get sorted is to visit the motorbike shop in the nearby village of Yearby. he will sort your forms, and give you a temp pass. this costs

quality link mate!!! good for beginners like me

its a bit of a journey for you mate, but once you have been there you wont go else where, al knows what he's talking about, and massive on shelf parts like Peterb says

got the parts today, got it running, cylinder head has a bit of a weep,bit of a funny noise,sounds like the pistion is scored, not a knocking noise? will strip head off and re-seal tomorrow, drop gearbox oil.

what do you mean by to late jam??? engine or gearbox seize? He and I meant that water kills the bearings. When water is left into the engine for more than a few hours it washes away the oil films and starts with its ugly game called rust. Although the engine will run properly again the rust in time will ...!!!! kill the bearings. Especially the lower end bearing will start peeling off its chrome layer. That is the why you always need to get the egine started as soon as possible to get the bearing turning in oil again, evaporating the water. Sorry to worry you but as you have not started yr engine by now, very big chance your bearings are ruined. can i change the bearings, how long before they fail, how much cost approx???

it seems like im the only one on this site that doesnt have a clue how to fix my bike!!! the oil on my forks seeems to be leaking, how do i change the seals? and do they need refilling(cant find an embarressed smiley face)???

dont know mate, was thinking that aswell. plug has got a good spark, so i think the electrics are ok. im only a novice with bikes, so any info appreciated!!! cheers ian

thanks for the info Paul & kevin,she should be up & running in no time!!!!
