i'd also agree to try replacing the kill switch, as if its slightly open circuit then higher voltage will short to earth more causing this problem,

the bike seems to run fine but does do the occasional knock at low revs when the throttle is blipped, i did notice the oil came out like milk after 1 3 hour trial but i drained the radiator and the no fluid was lost and was clear (although blue) so i dont think its water making it go milky

hi all, my 02 rev 3 is loosing gear oil and i suspect its being blown out the overflow, is it possible that the crank bearings could be leaking pressurising the gearbox or is it the other way round (gear oil is sucked into the crank area. if im wrong does anyone know where the fluid is going. thanks ben

not sure if it helps, i once had a ty250 with an intermittent poor front brake and was having to top the fluid up regularily and i diddnt spot the leak until the pipe from the master to the slave cylender burst (so must have been perished or something) and a new braided hose sorted the problem, perhaps your has a pinprick in it allowing air to draw in but not enough pressure to blow fluid out

im hoping to go on sunday, whats the parking like, is it expensive to park, i cant find any info on there, cheers

i never understand the mentality of actions like this, how does this harm the scooby owner himself, the cars hardly modified so will be replaced/repaired under the insurance, nothing but a few days inconvenience. its a cowards act.

i found the call hilarious and if the girl haddn't have slept with brand then it wouldn't have been acceptable, theyre only angry because the truth hurts, i bet sachs is never late for an interview again. im not keen on ross but i think brand is great

beta does a higher seat that doubles up as a fuel tank for the rev 3.

cheers mate, ive straightened the upright tab and the tongs and i'll try it tomorrow now its set correctly, the needle doesnt seem to have a mark on it but that was something i'd thought of, i didnt buy the bike new so i've no idea if theyre stock jets or not, the pilot says 30 or 03 and the main is 150 or 051.

just while i've got you, whats the best size jets to be running, its a 250 and just had piston and rings changed if that matters, thanks again

ok cheers mate

thanks very much for your help, i can now see whats wrong, the prongs were bent like that on purchase, looks like the central tiny lip that touches the fuel stopper is the part which is adjusted and the tongs stay straight, no wonder its drinking like a fish.

please can someone tell me if this is correct as when i fitted it back on its ok but if you put the bike on its stand it comes out the overflow pipe (not breather), it doesnt leak when leant to the right only te left, any suggestions would be apreciated.

just a suggestion, could your flywheels taper have worn due to it spinning on the crank especially if there has been broken woodruff keys rubbing inside, this would explain why it comes loose.

i bought a 02 250 that was making a knocking noise i tried new rings and little end bearing but no avail, had to buy a complete size e piston kit, it was about
