He just doubled the fastest speed i've hit on my MTB! I can't beleive those idiots are tring to stand him up after that crash, i would leave him lying there and call and air ambulance, i'd only move him into a more comfortable position if he was struggling to breathe.

There's a ufo! :D

Yeha mate, you shouldn't be smashing the kickstarter down to it's stop at all, let alone so hard that it breaks or bends, smooth kicks in the right part of the stroke are all that are needed to get the bike going. ;)

There's a knob just down the road from me on a stuffed pitty, don't know what it is as the thing has no plastics left on it other than the tank covers, no muffler on it either, so at least you can hear him coming, but he hauls arse down the footpath a few times a week, my garage opens directly...

Just noticed you have that pocket bike in you avatar, is that what were talking about? if the front wheel is too close try moving the sensor to the back wheel, if the cable will reach.

Dunno mate, i've had plenty of pushy speedos on my bikes and never got interference on any that were hard wired, that's running shit kmart ones thru to decent sigma ones. The only thing i can think of is if you have mounted the pickup and magnet right up the top of the wheel it may be too...

I've sold and bought plenty of stuff on ebay, and never ripped anyone off, it's convinient and there are bargains to be had, and there are tons more legitimate sellers than there are dodgy ones, you just have to weigh up the risks, personally if something is too expensive to lose, then i won't...

Read and learn, then pull yours apart and clean it, paying special attention to the float valve, it won't be exactly the same as the diagram in this link, but similar, so look where things came from, take your time and take pics with your digi camera if you have to so you know where to put stuff...

So they aren't bouncing back up at all? are they bent or twisted at all? are they the type that is meant to have air in them to help the spring? and if so, what pressure do you run?

I've been doing the drilling the ends of the lever trick for nearly ten years, but don't get lazy replacing the levers when you snap the balls of the end, as i have a scar on my knee that took 12 external stiches, as well as some internal ones to fix the mess my clutch lever made when i stacked...

Just out of curiosity, your chain isn't jumping teeth on the front sprocket is it?

What do you mean the forks has no rebound? as in it won't come back up at all? or do you mean it has no rebound damping? which is what i'm tipping you mean, so it comes back up too fast, spacing the spring with 20cent pieces will just increase the preload, making the fork sit a bit higher in its...

Good find, with bikes it is 80% rider and 20% bike in my eyes. most knobs can drive a car to near it's limits and it's just the last little bit that is hard to get good at, so it's more car than driver, but on a bike, you can be on something really uncompetitive and still beat people on better...

Start out cheap and work your way up, clean everything, air filter, plug, carb, then start replacing shit if it looks dubious, reeds ect.

It might do both. :D fair bit of load going thru there, not a good idea to just have one bolt holidng it on, post up a pic of how exactly it isn't fitting, caliper holes don't line up, caliper won't reach the forks because the disc is too big, I thought it was the latter but if it is i'...

Well tell us the school and his name, we'll fix him up for you. ;)

LOL, wind resistance takes a big toll once speeds start climbing above 80ish, there is no way you will ever get bikes shaped like ours to 150kph unless you manage to get 25+hp out of the motor.

They are air bleed screws, nothing more. I pulled my forks apart and refilled them with 20W fork oil, made stuff all difference, Dom from citymotorbikes said they use 20w-50 motor oil in their forks to stiffern them up a little. about 200ml in each leg.

My pitpro 125le got up to 77kph according to my gps, but the staright wasn't really long enough, i doubt it would have got much more than about 85.

NOW THATS FUNNY!
