  1. I used to do the paint and then let it dry for a week or so, then rub it down then clear coat. never got great results !!! but now I put the colour on then leave the last coat about 30 minuets or more then put the clear on the top.  now I get good results. I also use 2K in a can brilliant stuff. :tu

    Roger that Tony.... I must be going blind. 

    Is it coming for them to be missing entirely? 

    Ordering up new O rings tomoz. 

    if they are missing they will leak. someone hasn't noticed it missing when the pipe has been fitted.

    Thank you all. Seems pretty unanimous. I'll let you know how I get on.

    just take your time and make sure the rings are in place, the thin oil control ring can pop out and get trapped between the piston and the bore, let gravity help with gentle taps with your hand on the top of the cylinders.

  4. as wraith says, its the way ive always done it. put 2 blocks of wood under the middle 2 pistons and then carefully slid the cylinders over. im the same never got on with the ring clamps so an old blunt screwdriver works for me with plenty of oil round the cylinder taper.

    does the barrel not come out then Tony?

     

    yeah you have to pull the barrel out first, once out put the key in all the way then you can see which if any of the sliding plates stick out from the edge of the barrel :tu if a plate is sticking out it will need to be filed back till its flush, sometimes you can swap em about, but be careful of the very tiny springs as they can drop out and easily be lost :| 

  6. my GSX11 was doing the same thing wraith, I weakened the mixture on the screws half a turn and its almost gone, doesn't effect the ride and rev's right through with no issues. I could mess with the jets or needles but it doesn't bother me.  just a tad rich.
