If the battery could power the headlight for 20 mins and also start the bike then it is almost certainly not the issue here. A quick search of google shows this seems like a common issue. Could be lots of things... fuel tank breather pipes kinked so pulling a vacuum in there, ignition coil is a know...

I've also seen Sachs Madass out on the road, well parked in an industrial estate.. it was a black one. Looks a fun little bike anyway.

Chuck a picture up so we can all marvel at some of the more fringe bikes that are out there. Rules are.. you must have seen it on the road, not at a bike show and it can't be a custom special 1off cafe chop type thing. Just a stock bike that you don't see very often and that many of us might not eve...

I don't see Chard on that list...

Being pretty central between Devon, Somerset & Dorset makes it an ideal place for the east of the southwest.

I'm reading through a pile of old PB mags and one guy (on the readers garage feature) had something like 10 bikes. One of them was handed down to him so was something really old and crap but he said that bike was his key to cheap insurance. It's MOT & Tax exempt (so no annual cost of ownership), qua...

Bennetts charged me £50 to cancel one policy, which was taken out of the refund, but I knew it was going to happen as I had read the small print. :( They did then send me a £50 voucher to use within 30 days if I started a new policy, which I didn't... but the thought was there. I heard a story where...

I was looking at the TDR's on ebay again just last week. My mate had a blue one similar to yours, which I did have a ride on. I always fancied the black & yellow, almost bought a used one but they just seemed to be a bit too expensive for what they were back then. Problem for me now is that I fear t...

TDR250... lovely... I almost bought one back in the day.

Ah, yes lol. Missed the "a".

I've been goofing around with Publisher to see if I could come up with a redesign for the forum business cards. My aim here was to make something that could just be home printed on to decent paper, trimmed with scissors and dispersed at will. You get 10 cards per sheet on the template I used, which ...

Yup, it was good to have a catch up and chin wag.
Food was nice too.

Have you tried cranking the rear preload all the way up?

Pervert!

I'd run it with 2 joining links.
If having 2 is risky then logically even just one is also risky.

I dunno.. I think Project Fear might have been on to something. Around the same time as we leave the EU we have confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK - just a coincidence maybe... I dunno, we were told it would be the end of days.. Also yesterday I got a back ache.. it's not boding well is it... ...
