Hello and welcome to the site  I also have a 10W RD125LC with an 11Y carb fitted and it goes very well. Mine has a little porting, pipercross air filter element in a standard airbox and Micron exhaust with modified end can and it runs spot-on with a 170 main jet. I have tried it with 10W, 12A and 11Y carbs and the 11Y carb is what I think it runs best with. |

Try this,
Disconnect the battery from the bike. Then charge the battery up to fully charged, check the voltage with a meter, then leave it off the bike overnight and then check the voltage in the morning again.
Then repeat the process again but fit the battery to the bike after you've re-charged to fully charged and checked the voltage.
That way you will be able to see if it's the bike draining it over night, or the battery just loosing charge on its own overnight ?.

Yeah I've probably done 100+ runs over the Mountain over the last 7 years, so know it pretty well  You'll be able to give it large alright, it's one way  There's been 2 bad crashes today, so it's been shut half the day  I've been over and can confirm there's no speed limit on Windy corner  . There is 40mph warning triangle on the left hand side of the road as you approach (the same as in iainw's pic, but with the arrow pointing to the right......lol) |

And they know how to party I counted 68 bikes on the video of everyone leaving the campsite on Sunday. And there were quite a few more that joined at the Bolney Garage meeting point. That's a good turnout for a single bike type run, though obviously there were a few other types of bikes that attended |

Yeah was on about two stroke meet in September I'm hoping to make both this year. Last year the Squires 2-Stroke gathering clashed with the Eagle Fizzy Run  |

Sadly I dont really 'get' the FS1E, its an age thing I guess. That's what a mate said who's got a GSXR1000 and had never had a ped in his life. We lent him a ped to come and enjoy a Fizzy weekend with us a couple of years ago and he went stright out and bought one the week after the event and now comes on all the FS1-E runs he can. Any Peds are welcome on the runs, doesn't have to be a Fizzy There's just something about the bikes/community/riding & the people that you won't better. I've got bigger 2-strokes that are obviously better fun for normal riding but a weekend piss-up and riding a FS1-E in a pack of another 60 or so is a lot more fun |

Run from squires is in September I think you're talking about the 2-stroke gathering at Squires in September ?. The Northern FS1-E run is at Squires 4th - 6th July |

Looks Good, Shame Theres Nothing Like That Near Me In Manchester/Cheshire, Dont Think They Are Into Bikes Round Here. It was way better than good, you won't have a better laugh over a weekend Can you not travel ?, it's well worth it. Some people there came from Holland, some from Brussels and even Scotland !. There is a run at Squires at the beginning of July sometime, that can't be that far away from you ?. |

It's a cool mod but like has been said, I just use the left hand choke only for 10-15 secs and that's all it ever needs Spring to Autumn. |

Dont want to state the obvious but there are 3 straps in above pic... What is the weight of an LC. Could one go on a motorbike carrier the type that bolts onto your towbar.. Cheers E 2 straps holding the bike, 1 strap keeping the posts away, We could say there 4 straps but the one at back of the bike but that holding a sign but that would be stateing the obvious And that's also not mentioning the very obvious rear paddock stand supporting the bike as well And you can't use one of those carriers that bolts onto the Towbar for something like an LC. Got several mates with them and a 125 road bike is really pushing it. Only designed for stuff like lighweight off-roaders and modeds etc. |

Yeah that's how it do it, with the handlebar straps. Don't have any pics of an LC on the trailer but I've moved them on it loads of times. Get the handlebar straps that hold the bike 90% on their own, then I just tie down and forward lightly on the rear of the footrest assy (just enough to stop the rear wheel being able to lift) and the job's a goodan  |

I clean them with Brake/Clutch Cleaner.
Give em a quick spray and wipe over. Should be fine after that, especially if they were holding before.

Yep that's sh*t but stick with it mate  My Hybrid LC was off the road most of last summer with a knackered top end..... but today was the first day it's run properly for ages and well worth all the hassle getting it sorted. |

Hey Rich, We might come to the A21 Pembury Layby first as well. I'm just trying to find it on Google maps, so I know where it is. Where abouts exactly in relation to Pembury is it ?, or before/after which A21 junctions ?. |

Have you checked the reed valve assemblies and gaskets etc. ?. I had a miss-fire on mine once under load and it turned out to be the reed valve assemblies drawing in air. Felt exactly like an electrical miss-fire, so took me a while to find |

Are they PWK28's ?. 145 mains would be a safe start point I would think on a standard tune with pod filters and pipes. Maybe 152 to play really safe. Here we go Looey Thicko question. How would I know or what would I measure? I have no clue what they are. Do they have any markings or numbers on you could google or ask here ?. Failing that, if you have some verniers, you can easily measure the bore of the carb. Maybe first get a carb you know the size of and check measuring the bore so you know exactly what part of the bore gives the correct measurement. Does that make sense ?, lol |

On a standard tune ?, maybe. Mine's run for years (including track day use) on 145's, 31k top end, Mick Abbey fast road, Spex Pipes and foam pod filters. But yeah maybe better to start high with the Kenny's pipes |

The other thing to think about is what are you in it for ?. Our 2-strokes have been collected over many years, some are worth 6x what we paid for them without doing anything to them, but even if we knew values were just about to fall through the floor, we wouldn't sell a single one of them. We have them purely to ride and enjoy, that's it. But if you don't buy wise, i.e. pay matching numbers money for a non-matching numbers bike, or strong money for a basket case needing much work, then it will be a far less rewarding exercise financially |

Yep that is also true Mr Bare, The only exception is very tastefully modified Hybrids/Specials that can also fetch strong money. One has just finished on eBay recently at £4,5k with rusty exhausts and looking like it needed a little tlc to get back to 100% !. I'm not a purist or that fussy about my bikes but if you can enjoy these fantastic machines and have an appreciating asset then that is a bonus |

It certainly is BS to a certain degree. When you're riding them it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference.

Rightly or wrongly, it's the way it is I'm afraid. It's not just Yamaha's, it's the same throughout the classic bike scene Mainly due to the fact that these are classic bikes now and the more originality the better, especially for the purists. If it doesn't matter to you and you're not after a show pony, then the £2,500 non-matching numbers bike is by far the best option. History will show you that the matching number bikes will always be worth more and the better investment long-term. I'm not bothered either way, I have a mint matching numbers 350 but also a non-matching numbers bike that I ride the majority of the time. |
