Hello!

First topic message reminder :

Hi all, I have just joined and thought it would be right of me to introduce myself,

So... a bit about myself, Im Simon im 32yrs old, work in security, love the gym and have always been in to cars, although i grew up around bikes as my dad was an bike instructor and from the age of about 11 i was riding bikes in fields.

6 months ago i decided cars are way to expensive to buy, mod and run so i bought myself a Yamaha DTR 125, after about a month of riding it i was bored, so booked my DAS which i have passed my mod 1 and have my mod 2 on monday, so i wanted to get a big bike for when i passed, i did lots of research and decided a cat would be the best bike for me.

So I bought and picked up a cat yesterday its a 1998 model in Black, Silver and Orange with 30k on the clock, its standard apart from a Fuel can, it looks and sound lovely! I just hope i pass my test on monday so i can take it for a ride

Well hope i haven't bored you all lol, i will post a pic when i get chance,

Simon.

Welcome and congrats on your recent pass Like the others have said, try some redex to clear out the carbs, if that fails then get the carbs balanced and see how you go. Could be any number of small things with the carbs but it shouldnt be too difficult to get sorted.

Good luck for Monday mate

He's already passed Mr France!.

Are you wanting to overtake me ............................... in the numpty point department.

I swear all those comments were not there when I was writing that!!!!!!!!

....I think it will be a loooooooooooooong time before anyone is as numpty as you

Well done mate. A service will not harm at all & like steve said try the petrol (carb) redex.

Paul.

Thanks guys, iv put some redex in the tank and im now waiting for my new plugs, oil and filters to arrive, ill shall give her a service then take out for a day of riding to see if that sorts her out! I will report back lol,

Cheers,
Simon.

Hey guys just a couple of newbee questions.

1. Apart from by email, how do i know if someone has replied to my thread or a thread ive posted on without me remembering then looking at a thread for replys?

2. How do a post pics of my new bike?

I have had a quick look around the site but cant seem to find the answers im looking for lol,

Cheers,
Simon.

Hi Si.

Near the bottom right of every thread there is a hyperlink that says watch this topic for replies.
You'll then receive an email (to your registered email address) everytime you get a reply)
You can unwatch just as easy.

As for posting pics.
Upload your pics to any web-based photosharing site.
Photobucket for example (plenty others out there)

Their website will give you some links to your picture.

If it does BB-Code like wot Flickr.com does then just post that.
Otherwise copy the URL e.g. Http://photosharesite.com/joebloggs/bikepic01.jpg

And then choose the icon to insert a picture (looks like a tiny picture of a tree) in the reply or quick reply on here and paste the URL in.

Hope that helps
Cheers
Rosco

Not quite a direct way of doing this, firstly you can click on 'View Posts Since Last Visit' but as you say you must remember which ones you posted in.
Possibly the best way of doing this is to click on 'View Your Posts' , all the ones with Red buttons or 4 flames have new posts in them since you last logged in. Other than that it's email notifications.
