Hiya noo member! You must have been following the forum for a while before launching into a first post like this on this particular thread! Welcome to the asylum!, Now pop of to the "introduce yourself" part of the forum and remember.....we like...

Having a mother who was a doc who spent her time as she put it "cross matching blood by the bucketful" and telling us stories about a bikist coming in in one ambulance and his leg in another, she made it quite clear that I would never be able to...

You int lived old boy Nivver too late. .

Yeah I got my left and right mixed from memory. I haven't ridden since 2017 and my memory isn't too good at present. It's why I don't usually post stuff anymore.

Just found a piccy of one - the second "neutral" lever is the short one behind the kick starter.

You need to go down the gears sequentially. Normally. I say normally because I had a 1959 Royal Enfield Constellation when I were a yoof, it had a second lever on the gear box and whichever gear I was in, pressing the second lever put it in neutral.

Probably the rider was in neutral and holding the bike on the footbrake when static. Then change to the other foot to put it in gear before moving off.

W's sensodrive thing is sequential but you can go both down and up. This is stopping me getting on now!

And I know that if I had worked on the boxes I ought to know the answer!!

The bike I was taught on was a Jap with one down and four up (YB100?) The XT500 I rode illegally to the instructors house was the other way up like usual. I used to park it in the next street over so he didn't twig..

I has nevva driven or ridden a motubike but I worked on my mates even stripping down gearboxes. All this before I got a car. So, question, am I right in thinking that you don't go down the gears?

----- and I can't be arrissed to cook 😂

Never thort you would, we iz all responsibul on ere!!! I was just thinking about when my club went to the natinal kit car show, the temts and carryvans would all be in a circle around the huge bbq one member brought. His wife would be doing the...

As I posted, I would never drink and drive no matter what the circumstances. Not worth the agro if I got nabbed. I don't own a BBQ and anyroadup, I like a curry as much as the next man. And it was no hassle going to collect it. :p

Dottir just messaged me. W has had her op, ALL OK apparently. So big relief. I can now get on and do stuff!!! Have a good day all! 😀😀😀😀

It's on the left hand. Senior moment?

British bikes usually had the gear lever operated by the right foot. This changed in the 1970's to the left foot due to most of the rest of world using this arrangement. Changing up to a higher gear could be by moving the foot upwards or...

As recommended by the late great James Martin who did it professionally.

I took mine out alone, gearbox and transfer seperately with this kind of motorcycle lift, normal jack and a lot of wood blocks. To put it in I bought an engine crane and used it from drivers side (left) thru the lever hole and put it in as one...

That gearbox / transfer combination is fecking heavy.... I did mine on the drive, on my back, and I struggled. I used an engine crane through the gear lever hole, and a chain, plus a heavy duty jack.

Morning all. Good news is W is being operated on as I type. 😀😀😀😀😀

Loads ov stuff felled oft. Including arf the windscreen.

Morning All. :D Paper's got, and my coffee's hot. :) A shopping day. :( A much cooler day here for sure. Have a good day. :D

So, I have now got Whatsapp working on my noo phone. But I cannot find any other way of ending a call other than switching my phone off. Where is an 8 year old when you need one? Better Google it I suppose. Plus I have tried to get it working...

Not sure if this is allowed on this site but feel it’s only right to share where people have helped us discovery owners when we are in desperate situations: I’m on holiday and I hit a pot hole just outside Penzance which tore off a newly fitted...

Clever setup! I’ve had the same issue with something hiding under decking – turned out to be a hedgehog.

Thunderstorms and rain most of the day we did need it water tank now half full grass going back to green so all looking fresher , yesterday had a big bang on the window rushed out to find a sparrowhawk looking surprised but OK 😕

Hello. The ramps are 1200mm high. I have made the transmission jack adapter to fit the gearbox.i have searched online but a lot of the information is very vauge. Cheers

Yes but what if you'd been drinking never thinking you'd get stuck with the errand?? I'd be getting out the BBQ and saying, "And what are you all eating then?!"
