  1. yes a bandit swinger will fit easy, you will need to get some tophat spacers made or just sleave it down from 20mm to 16mm.
  2. white smoke could be leaking stem seals at start up.

    a riveted cam chain is perfectly fine if done correctly
  4. yeah a more powerful windy gun normally shifts them.
  5. wrap some masking tape round the stator 2 times or so then fit the cover, turn the engine over by hand a few times and pull the cover off for a look see.
  6. as I said check the cable as well.
  7. has you clutch cable got an adjuster half way down its length ? make sure the cable is all the way in ALL the adjusters, one at the clutch lever, one half way down the cable and one on the top of the crankcase.
  8. have you had the whole clutch basket out or did you just replace the plates ?
  9. not really understanding your problem !!! the clutch shaft in the cover stays in the cover when you fit it, the release barrel with the teeth just slides in and meshes with the shaft if its lined up. have you any pic's of your bike/clutch ?
  10. not sure what you mean about the clutch arm ???? the short chrome arm on the top comes off, if its in the wrong position just move it on the splines.
  11. sounds like the little barrel with the teeth on in the clutch drum is facing the wrong way, turn it so the teeth face the back wheel.
  12. you do with any paint but more so with the 2K stuff, it is very strong !!!! I use a normal face mask when using it, probably not good enough but better than nowt
  13. I think the numbers he's quoted have no connection to the symptoms !!!! but he did mention a hose was missing which is why it won't run on ON & RES. me thinks he's made a mistake
  14. symptom of a missing vacuum hose to the tap.
  15. the 600 and 750 are the same size, the 600 I measured was 14-15mm shorter than a 1200.
  16. their was a guy called "ferret" who is/was a mobile lecy fitter. he sleeps in his van
  17. Do a bench test on the carbs. They'll probably show a leak.
  18. my guess is no, but ive made all kinds of seat fit other frames with a bit of jiggery pokery
  19. got to agree with fatblokeonbandit, if the mileage is correct and it hasn't had a real hard life then I would say the engine is ok, (they are pretty tough) the first thing I would of looked at was the carbs. they are getting on now and float valves are wearing out, ive seen this countless times, a new set of float valves usually fixes them. do a bench test on the carbs to rule them out before stripping the top end again.
  20. the spokes look really thin for ally !! could the wheel be steel ? a magnet will tell you.
  21. spot on, I did the same thing on my GSX11 after fitting a new battery and MOSFET reg/rec. perfect charging
  22. yes its just a cover over the fuel sender, if the sender leaks fuel the cover will catch it and the fuel will drain down a hose to safety.
