Hello from sunny Scotland - deliriousthunder

[deliriousthunder]

It's not really sunny, in fact there's a fair bit of rain most of the time... but anyway...

I'm Tom, been riding for about a year and a half I guess.. Started on a CBR125, don't mock, that bike was a lot of fun!

Moved on to an XJ600 and found out the hard way that there are actually limits to how fast you can ride (or how far you can lean at least) :( Have a scar on my knee to remind myself of that now..

Eventually sold the XJ600 and bought an RVF400, but licensing laws over here mean I would have to restrict it to 33bhp to ride it legally :( So I've decided to store it till my license restriction period ends..

So, yesterday I bought myself a Yamaha SRX250 :D I was riding it home, (about 50 miles I think), and the battery died and the engine cut out :mad:

Turns out the reg/rec unit is fried, which has also fried the battery..

I know that over in NZ there are a lot more 250s (no-one really bothers with them over here, our laws are different, you start on a 125, then you move to anything you want with a 33bhp limit)

So I really joined to ask if anyone here has a pdf of an SRX250 manual, and/or might be able to source a replacement reg/rec unit for one..

Maybe someone could point me in the right direction? (I'm assuming this isn't the best place to post a manual/part request)

Thanks,

[kiwifruit]

Welcome to KB!

RVF!! Nice work! Bloody reg/rec issues *mutter*! I had the same issue on an older honda. Keep an eye on them!
Best of luck with your search!

:ride:

[klingon]

Welcome along. DT! Nice to have you aboard! :niceone:

Yeah I would suggest you re-post this request in General Maintenance or somewhere, with the request in the title field. Enthusiasts will be along in their droves to tell you about their experiences with the bike (no guarantees about the manual though, looks like they're hard to find).

No! Don't tempt fate :(

The reg/rec issues are with the SRX. The RVF is pretty much mint, and I'm hoping there will be no such issues with it ;)

I'm looking forward to getting back on the RVF next year.. Just hope it doesn't rot while it's stored :p

Thanks for the welcome :niceone:

We know a couple from Perth, Jack and Betty. D'ye ken them?

Typo? Meant 'drecht'? :Pokey: And she left for the antipodes in 1956. Grew up in the greystone tenements (Elm Bank St) which are long gone.

Nah, bricht is another way of saying bright..

E.g. "It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht the nicht"

--> Translation: "It's a good bright moonlit night tonight"

"Good" doesn't really sum up "braw", but I don't really know how to translate that accurately.

Never spent much time in Glasgow anyway, an East coast man myself. Never liked the city for some reason, can't quite put my finger on it.

Och Hen, d'ye nae ken whit ah meen? Alba is aye drecht. Isnae it? Whit thus 'bricht' meens, ah hae nae idea.
An' aye, ah ken whit ye meen bae braw. 'tis noo an easy word tae translate :innocent: - bonny, guid, lovelae, rare :shifty:, all o' the above....

And of course you would be unlikely to know 'Jack and Betty' from Perth, although stranger things have happened. I'm just messing with you. A wee story to follow...

[MSTRS]

A few years ago, my wife worked at a college in Hastings (Hawkes Bay, NZ - not Harold's battle site) which is about 20kms from where we live in Napier. There she met a science teacher who, it turned out, lived about 5 houses away from us in the same street. Now, this fellow came from Paisley and also liked whisky and Runrig (funny that!) so we became quite good friends.
Fast forward a couple of years, and our youngest boy got a new teacher for sports. She told the class that it was not funny to pretend they didn't understand her accent or make fun of it (she was Scottish).
Well - our young fellow, being a switched on kid, said he recognised her accent and was she from Glasgow?
No, she said, but quite close, from a place called Paisley.
Our young fellow then said, No kidding? I know a guy from there. He's a science teacher. Mr Breen.
She said, When I was at school my science teacher's name was Mr Breen. Not Ed, is it?
Yep. Same guy.

Like the translation!

I'm from a town called Carluke about 30 miles east of Glasgow. How are you enjoying Scotland?

You are right, it's not that often you can use Scotland and sunny in the same sentence! :lol:
