another way
start at 1 1/2 out and turn in until the idle changes, remember setting. Turn out until the idle changes, remember setting. Set at the middle (remembered settings) +1/8-1/4 turns.

big vice grips end on
gently wiggle it out or put a shaft through from other side and tap against vice grips

I will get the tube ordered
I will check the clutch span adjustment, this is something I haven't looked at
like the idea of removing 2 clutch springs, will the clutch not slip ?
thanks

cheers for the replies
he's a motocrosser primarily and only rides the trials bike in the winter (yes he's a very lucky 12 year old) , so he likes the throttle
hes just too snappy with the throttle and clutch,
bike runs well and the tyre is new
I just need him to calm down a bit opening the throttle,
is there a way to soften the clutch a bit ? it is sharp and its in tight turns he has real bother coming off the clutch
I think I will order a slow action as they are cheap and see how it goes
-
my 12 year old has an 07 125
he can ride it really well on rocks and areas with grip
but if the ground is wet and slippy he is hopeless, he just spins up the back wheel and goes no where
I understand that its a throttle control issue and that practice makes perfect
but in the short term we (him and me) have discussed a slower throttle
is this a good idea on such a small capacity bike ?
also the clutch seems sharp and isnt helping as its helping to break traction, is there a way to soften it a bit ?
many thanks

contacted splat about that caliper, it is not available at the minute
they were helpful and recommended http://www.splatshop.co.uk/ajp-4-pot-calliper-assy.html
its not mad money as long as it fits straight on and gives a sharper brake
has anyone tried this on a 315 ?
-
have had a trusty 315 for 11 years now, great bike but the front brake is very average. This was made very apparent when my son got a 125 Sherco on which the brakes are outstanding.
Have just fitted new EBC pads which made no difference.
Any tricks ?
Caliper ?
Master cylinder ?
anything else ?
Cheaper the better of course as its only an old girl I play on occasionally.
thanks
-
it also finds its way down the cable into the top of the slide then down into the bowl
presume there is no airbox bung for sale,
diy job it is
thanks for the replies
except for this minor irritant its a cracking bike for a 10 year old
-
cheers will try rotating trick, was trying not to disturb the carb as they are a terrible fit in the rubbers but if I have to.
will have make a airbox bung also
cheers

1. whats the best plug for a 07 125, it currently has a BP5ES for the UK
2 Is there a spanner available small enough that will slacken the carb drain bolt when still on the bike
3. if the answer to 2 is no has anyone ever drilled and tapped the side of a carb bowl to allow the carb to be drained after washing.
4 whats the best way to keep water out of these wee bikes, its becoming a bit of a chore taking the back end of the bike off to get the carb off, I have siliconed the throttle cable joints, carb top, mudguard joint, ensure carb breathers are on etc.
And I suppose while asking are there any tips on how to improve these wee bikes in any way or are they just fine out of the box
many thanks
-
ok you have just put me off
thinking I might just spoil the bike with a set of front pads, the ones in it are 10 years old so may be a bit glazed !
since wear is not an issue to me
what the best pads that make the bike stop

-
Will a 2003 4 pot caliper fit on a 2000 model with Showa forks
if so is it a good improvement
-
simple but great idea
will just do this myself from now on
cheers
-
Was thinking of getting an air filter lid and filling in the top air intake hole with duct tape and silicone
I have started siliconing the gap under the mudguard around the back of the airbox, this has worked well stopping any muck getting in when riding
cheers
-
no thats an exhaust bung, I was looking an airbox bung
http://www.twinair.com/worldwide/twin-air-airbox-cover
twin air make them for all mx bikes, great bit of kit, keeps the water out and allows you to reuse the filter (if not too dirty) as it wont be wet from the power wash
-
does anyone make a bung like the ones you can get for motocross bikes, so when you wash the bike water doesnt pour into the airbox
-
stat working, loom removed and new kill switch fitted
happy now
cheers
-
agree
didnt do the deed last night, but your right, a straight yellow with a jumper wire on one end is all is needed, the original red can be reused
-
on second thoughts after looking under the tank I only need to cut and join 2 yellow wires and the harness is out, not hard to reverse although it will never be back on.
so I will do this myself tonight and save a few quid, then fit a new kill switch
-
great job
got a harness sorted
cheers
-
its the one for the pipe
yes it came with the housing, thats what confused me
initially I presumed, open the two clips and pull it out (or screw it out ?), then it arrives complete and no obvious way of the housing attaching
seems to have a lipped o ring which must just pop into the hose fitting
-
while the tank is off I intend to remove the switch gear and fit a kill switch
presume I have to carefully split the loom and just leave the fan feed
which wire is the kill switch wire from the cdi ?
-
got the new switch
havnt removed the old one yet
any idea how its fitted
looks like it just pops in
does the old one just get levered off with a screw driver
-
now now boys, any help is good help
just put multimeter across switch
there is continuity when cold
switch is goosed
better get one ordered
thanks for all the replies
