    Get you on that,
    but was thinking 2 screw plate would more than likely be holding an o-ring in place,
    which means it would be probaly be sealing some sort of gap,
    Haynes for cg may not correlate to hongdou in it's entirety/it is a copy after all.mk.

    Just studied your tap in the pic,it's in the off position,
    If it's pointed up = main tank.....if it's pointed down = reserve,pretty standard,
    also noticed the 2symbols....ones more full then the other?.mk. ;) .

    ohh arr you planning on something bigger ;)
    sounds like a plan, im waiting to be able to take my little sisters on the back of whatever I have at the time, just gotta do my mod 2 and get a bike + convince my mom to let me take them out on the bike aha :)
    used to love being pillion on granddads bike, thought I was the coolest kid around when I turned up to school on a Honda cb400 aha

    for now, i doubt ill be looking at anything that requires the test, abit expensive really to move up to some crazy death machine :) but ive only been riding what? 4 months who knows what the future may bring

    the car seems to be taking a back seat though :(

    aha fair enough, im slowly but surely getting my test done (just mod2 left to pass) then ill be doing all the tests and working my way up - 125cc (undecided wich) - ninja 250r - zzr400 - gsx-r600 - bmw f800gs will be my top goal bike. cant moan at the car taking a back seat, look at it this way your saving money on fuel etc ;)

    been thinking a lot about getting a car lately just to make life a bit easier, well id have a car now but I failed my test Monday aha :)

    bummer dude, better luck next time
    the car still gets to go out, the mrs is taking it to work daily (and bumping it in car parks :mad:) so im not really saving much fuel :(


    oky another quick note, just been chavving it up and down my backstreet, let it get warmed up good and proper, take off the choke and it dies. am i right in saying idle screw?

    theres two solutions to the mrs driving the car.
    1. hide the keys and get her her own little motor.
    2. get rid of the mrs and get even more bikes.
    I did the 2nd one aha.

    id say the idle screw yeah, have a little mess with it and see if itll ride with choke off. if it carrys on doing that then take carb off for a good clean and reinstall and see if its any better.
