    PLEASE DELETE POST...answered my own question******* Can anyone tell me where heat protection shield goes underneath a slappy tank? I cant remember is it the square block at the front of the tank or the inverted bit. Making my own out of thin adhesive heat shield matting. Is it 27 and 28? Thank you
  2. 1985 F is definitely flush for Japanese market bikes
  3. Appreciate all the replies, thank you. I am now a little wiser
  4. Many years after ordering i finally get round to doing this job. Ooops...mine are 34mm carbs, so not applicable. Anyone need a set? I got a spare set of these spacers
  5. Hi All My slabby 750 F waa bought 30 off yrs ago. I lent a race bike to a guy for the TT who had raced the same slabby. Dynojet had worked on a better TT set up, the result was 1100 G carbs with either stage 1 or Dynojet kit (the mild one whichever it is) To be fair it was a million times nicer than the flat-slides set up Now I've been reading on here Dynojet are sold by the prince of darkness. It was a long time ago, we didn't have internet or colour tv, most of us still thought the earth was flat. My slides had an extra airhole drilled by the rolling road man, standard mod i believe and made it even smoother. K&N filter Question- why are Dynojet disliked on here. Im scared to change because i seem to have a pretty nice set up. Any suggestions? Thank you Thank you
  6. Yep...that sounds like the only plausible explanation. Bloody strange, never seen anything like it
  7. 3 out of 4... I'm completely lost, I am Mr Carbs - meticulous in my preparation, especially with carbs, build loads of them. Built the bike in 2013, ran like a dream every summer until I stopped in 2019...2 year lay up, fired up and ran like crap. I never leave bikes idle for more than 2 months - that'll teach me!
  8. Long springs push onto a big plastic spacer which goes over the needle. The needle circlip is the resting point for the spacer...each spacer must have come off the top of the needle as the top notch is too high. I can't believe it should be on top notch anyway, gone down one, see how she runs on full chat
  9. Does anyone know the official name for the RED in the Japan market Slabby please? Getting my F 750 resprayed. Thank you
  10. MODS PLEASE MOVE THIS TO OIL COOLED, POSTED HERE BY MISTAKE My bike was last used 2019. 1100 G cv cabs. 2020 it sad idle, 2021 I fired it up in the summer and took her for an mot. Not running great, kept stalling when I shut off etc. Finally took the carbs out last week - found this (see pics) needles have somehow come out and gone into the slide air holes. I've dropped the circlip one notch as I can kind of see how the washer/ spring might come off being at the top, plus I want to rich up the mixture on acceleration anyway (not convinced top is the right place, but bear in mind totally bespoke set up on rolling road) - carb set up not standard, 1100G with dynojet needles and mains, runs very well normally, I think slightly too lean on full throttle so all good to change. Can't say 100% I remember needles being top notch om the needle, but I also can't say I've ever touched the clips since its rolling road session back in the late 90s - always run very well with balancing, v slight hesitation on opening up (hence going to be ok slightly richening) However, set up is not my question, and bear in mind I overhauled the carbs not that many miles ago and it ran really well until I put her away. Question is - how the fuck could this happen? Slides sticking after being left standing?? But even that doesn't make sense. Its almost as if someone vandalised it, but no normal human being would torment themselves this much to even go inside a slabby airbox. Only person with keys to the garage was the decorator, and whilst being a bit of tosser and a bit odd he was too busy smoking weed to attempt anything half this difficult. Anyone seen anything like this before?
  11. I bought new rubbers about 15 years ago. £240 is justifiable. £2400 would be justifiable. My life went from Fucking hell bastard cunt fuck bastard @"@%!@!@!!! to just "ooooh....suits you Sir" I'd hunt around to get them cheaper Any motorbike supplier will have a decent filter, I've always used them To prevent this hassle again use STABIL 1 MARINE when in storage
  12. One of these days I'd like to try and get some slabbies together, I'm only in Warwickshire myself.
  13. I get round the fuel problem in winter storage using the STABIL 1 MARINE. I had mine laid up for 2 years, not an issue, fired up instantly, pilots not blocked.
  14. Mine is a Jap import - it has a fuel guage and also a speed warning light, but that has possibly been disabled. Can't remember exactly as last time mine was on was 25 years ago...but I think it is orange and in the dashboard, comes on at 50mph
