    Well the best thing to do is to check to ensure that the thermostat is working correctly. You can remove it and place it into a sauce pan and check to see if it correctly opens at the right temperature when left to boil. If your daily commuting the bike, then leaving the thermostat in is advisable. Yamaha know what they're doing. If you start tuning the bike and pushing it beyond its original specifications, then you may want to consider removing it. The thermostat isn't just there to aid heating up of the engine, it also has a role in providing pressure in the cylinder head to avoid pocket stagnation of gases. So it's actually important it's fitted. I just noted that these engines do run warm and removing the thermostat allowed my bike to run at a more consistent temperature when under load.

    I'm not familiar with the market, but a cylinder piston combo with all the work ready to go has got to be £300+. Any more than that then I wouldn't understand why someone wouldn't go for a brand new Athena 125 kit, or a little extra for the 170 kit. The Zeeltronic, new they're around £240, so with the programmer I'd say £160ish is what I'd pay, otherwise I'd just go new. Hope that helps.

    @Stevie-Wonder Thanks bud Greta (for that is her name as she's noisy, irritating, aimed squarely at the youth market and responsible for thousands of them bunking off school all over the world) cost me half as much as my '93 due to the mileage and had a thick layer of grime all over due to years of grinding commuting. I gave her a scrub with Jizer (several times) and this is what was underneath Here are the part #s for the toolbox and lid, bit pricey IMO and you'd have to get the lugs welded on to a non-e start frame. Be a nice touch if you were getting it powdercoated sometime though https://www.cmsnl.com/products/boxtool_55v2817301/ https://www.cmsnl.com/products/lid_55v2818500/

    @HOBO4LIFE I know, but I'm saying that if you get an A2 license when you're 19 you are allowed to get the full A license once you're 21 and you don't have to wait till you are 24.

    EXC is a good fun bike, tried one and was looking for one before I got my gasgas 250. Unfortunately people either wouldn't get back to me or would say "Sure come see it on Friday" then phone me up on the day and go "Sorry just sold it". It's very frustrating when this kind of thing happens. Either way ended up with the GasGas and I'm happy with it

    @Mightyman HTC had previously mentioned they planned to unveil the Vive 2 at CES this January but they then announced they won't be. A vive 2 is in the works, but we don't know what it's going to offer in difference. Right now it is convincing that it will be wireless and the resolution of each lense will be upgraded.

    Thanks for the replys. Actually do have a manual and also managed to cure starting problem. It was a poor connection in one the connector blocks hidden away amongst a tangle of insulation tape. Thanks for the help though.

    Lol. Premix ratio for a DT, it does not need a racey mixture. The standard Oil pump is about 45-50:1 ? I ragged mine and found 35:1 to be adequate in the end, I only just managed to briefly heat sieze, with little damage with the oil pump fitted a time ago, and that was flat out for 4 miles! The later 3RM pumps are pretty good, the older design were ones people had issues with.
