I have a very old (1987) honda melody, It was very realable until the other week, I just found the back tyre is flat. At the moment I cannot afford to have somebody fix it, I tried cycle pump but did not work. someone advise me to buy a can/tin of this thing to spray in my tyre. Can anybody tell me how it work? What's it call? Is it worth it? I do not have a man I can call to help me, so good advise will be appreciated

Pretty loud. Belt is brand new. Any idea what to look for? Is a noisy belt a serious problem? Makes the sound when wheel is rotated forward on motorcycle jack. Sounds kinda like the belt teeth clicking into the rear pulley teeth.

Thanks

My grandfather has recently died and left behind several momentos of his time as a despatch rider for the Royal Signals (UK) during the Africa campaign of WW2.

One of these momentos, belive it or not, was the motorcycle he used during the war; since 1947, when he finally returned home after serving in the far east, the bike has been left in our barn, under tarpaulin, stood on it's stand and completely unmolested.

The barn is never too cold or hot (heavily insulated) and is virtually damp proof; my question is, what condition is the bike likely to be in? I would love to get it restored to it's former glory as I believe it was manufactured in 1940 and, as such, is a genuine front-line relic of the war. Nobody ever touched it as we are not a mechanical family and were scared we would damage it further.

So is it likely to be completely unrestorable? I'd love to see it working again- at any cost, and I would donate it to a museum or re-enactment group after a while
Thanks!

I've seen peoples motorcycles die on them in the streets. Their friends come over an they pushing the dead bike up to a good speed and the rider hits the switch and it starts. Does the bike need to be in neutral? And under what situations(bad battery, low gas) does this work?

Just noticing that your average 50cc job (and generally those up to 125cc too) doesn't seem to stick around for long. You might see many new ones on sale for £1000 or £2000, and one or two barely used second hand ones for about 2/3rds that if you're lucky, but rarely anything too old (or cheap!) on the road or in the classifieds. I'd like to get one but that's the kind of money I'd currently spend on changing my car, rather than buying a bike to experiment with (and wouldn't like to see it all disappear if it becomes unsaleable in two years, or give up the car!). Am I just looking in the wrong places, or do they burn out irrepairably really quickly?
PS any reccomendations? And would it be best to go straight for a 125 rather than mucking about with a dangerously anaemic 50, as i'm in my 20s with a well-established license etc?

This bike came with cone filters. I have the original air box but it was obliterated. I like the look of the cone filters and it leaves a lot of room behind the heads. Is there a way to richen the fuel mixture by reducing the air flow somehow. Has anyone delt with this problem before? I'm open to suggestions. Fuel economy is my goal. This is a '79 XS750F Yamaha.
