    My bent inlet valves were 27.5mm. I thought I had found a set, specified that I needed 27.5mm dial. I have received 27mm ones. The supplier says that they are fine. But will the seats need recutting or will they lap in OK? If they need recutting I might as well go slightly larger. ??

    Never heard of them before but look like just the job. They are + 1.5 mm. Very reasonably priced to, might even treat myself to some titanium retainers if I don't find anything else wrong.

    OK thanks and no not got any valves. Think mine are+ 1mm but will have to check. What is the std. Inlet valve size?

    Stripped the head and all the inlet valves are bent. Seats look OK, just need to check the guides to see if they are worn by the bent valves. Hopefully not. What is the best way to check? Think I'll replace the cam chain. Don't really want to split the bottom cases. What do you think about replacing with a riveted up chain or bite the bullet and replace with new endless one?

    Found the problem. Rear cam chain guide snapped in 2 places. All the inlet valves are sitting proud and a few marks on top of the pistons. Hopefully there won't be to much damage to guides and seats.

    Yeah cheers John, was going to be the first thing to look at but more concerned about the noise it made trying to turn it over.

    Out for a ride this evening, running fine. Overtaking a car suddenly lost power. Running poorly on 2 cylinders, 2 and 3, with a very buzzy noisy. Limped home and died just as I stopped. Tried to start it and sounds very grauncy, like cam chain is very loose. stopped straight away trying. Removed spark plugs from 1 and 4, both look OK just a bit wet. Any thoughts before I start to take things apart? Cheers
  10. Yeah, I'm sold on that. Tlr arm it is. Thanks.
  11. Very nice, did it need any machining to fit?
  12. Thanks, yeah like the look of the underbraced tlr arm, looks nice and beefy. Anyone got 1 in a kat, pics?
  13. Hi Been thinking about changing the swinging arm on my kat. Currently using a zrx1200 but fancy a bit of a change. Thinking about a Tl1000r arm. Want to keep twin shocks. Anyone used a tlr arm got dimensions and any advice. Or any other suggestions, not blandit or anything to plain. Cheers
  14. Cheers, all sorted, couldn't see the wood for the trees
  15. DOH, what a tit, cheers Captain.
