Cheers, ordered a Haynes manual, oil filters and a paddock stand as I have a 14T sprocket of the yammy that looks like a fit as the stocks 15T

Regarding air filter, I cannot find anything, people seem to use cone or domed filter, what's your view on this? Or should I just sort the stock airbox and drill it?

Also had to order a new indicator as I got a bit too c0cky on a spirited ride round a bend :laugh: Damn I love bikes, can't wait till summer and doing my test, not sure who will kill me first the misses or the bike.

Don't stress on a filter fella - it'll give you all of 2bhp if you're lucky.

Reason for needing rejetting is due to a better flowing filter gives you more air and makes your fuel to air mix wrong. Hence needing jets to suit (unless you have injection then you need a power commander etc)

Seriously man, save your money and do your test when you can full power is something else.

Cheers, I love tinkering, I popped round a garage recommended on here a long time ago, Dan Taber Services in bexleyheath, since then I've become good friends with Dan, I popped up there and he showed me a few things around the bike and how and where things are, how to disassemble parts of it such as seat, tank etc... He also pointed me too a few local merchants like a go kart place for the jets.

New filters ordered, new exhaust also ordered, as the Chinese bikes from all the forums I've register and been on all say the stock exhausts are awful and it might as well be welded shut. So that's being swapped over. Will look at jetting to maybe 102 size main jet. Just really want to hit 70mph (hits 60 unless its falling off a cliff), not interested in anything more as its a commuter bike, once I hit 24 I will do full test and get full unrestricted license and look at a death trap r6 or a bigger commuter bike like a XJ6 which is still good for commuting and still feels sporty with plenty of poke.

But should have all the goodies by friday, the paddock stands already come, got oil filters in for first run in service with oil as well as dealers want £90 and the 1year warranty is sh!te. Will post pics up when done  :smiley:

Waiting for some more insurance money to come through and will book it in for some new tires as I can see what all forum members on the other websites have said "you will spend more time off the bike than on the bike"  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Personally I don't think there is a problem with spending a small amount of cash on! Will allow you to learn about what your messing with before you move up to a bigger bike!

Archie....2bhp is a lot when you only hve 11  :laugh:

I also got the impression that the exhaust are sh**e just on the small read I had
Apparently they can rot through in a year  :laugh:

My yammy exhaust got pretty bad before being stolen, it was the biggest complaint and at a price tag of 120+ every 6months people were not happy.

Just some quick advice on main jet, I've had a mixed idea of what jet size I need. Basically people say exhaust and filter allow around 10% more air flow, so in theory the stock jet is 93/95 throws me into 102/105 size, what do you think I should do to play safe, people seem to get different results, such as for some people a 110, 105 or 102 size works for then. I'm now tempted to go 105 size, but my concern is if its a tad too big will I have any issues like bore wash etc? I'm clueless with how much more fuel a jet size or two will dump in and don't want too overfuel to much if it can cause any issues.

Been fancying a little bike for a while. If I get this job that's closer to home I may well be tempted by one similar to this.

I did my CBT when I was 16, would I need to complete a new one and would I have to ride on L plates?

CBT is only valid for two years from pass date, so you would have to redo it, once redone and while in possession of a cbt you must have front and rear L plates.

Once you do the bike test regardless of its output then you can ride any bike without L plates and you are allowed to have a passenger and make use if M roads.

Wouldn't really be interested in the bike test, just could be an option IF I get the job closer to home. There's no way I'm doing a 45 mile each way commute up and down the M25 on a motorbike!

Where in Kent are you from any idea of any go kart shops in Kent? As I need to try and pop down some this weekend to source a main jet. Only one I know is Dartford Karts.

From Near sittingbourne. Don't know of any kart shops, may be one close by as there's a kart track in sittingbourne.
