Eccellent ! Nice one, let's hope they run the 1.5 mile on the sand again

I had this happen just last month. I'm sure it's quite common but not mentioned much due to embarrassment (dogh!). Mine was hiding down the front of the spring

well I reckon it was the spark plug, seen it happen on a few 2 strokes years back. Sure glad it's not a common occurance .

On my old bike (not suzi) plugs were always black due to being set too rich at top end. They only ever looked right after a right good thrashing(whistles). straight through measured pipes, no filters pods etc

Put the battery on charge, then while you're waiting block the tank up a bit higher to see if the fuel lines are not running uphill over anything causing an air lock.

Tyre wear,bad fitting to rim, rear wheel buckle, worn head stock bearings, there's a whole list of possibilities. swing arm linkages worn shock(twin)

Can't you just tip the engine forward on the lower rear mounting? saves taking it all out ;-)

Don't wast any time set it up (oil bores clean carbs drop old oil) and get it running quick! the engine heat will cook out any moisture

Any engineer worth his salt can do a light recut of the seats as for the guides, if you got no noticeable play slap new seals in

If you want to check inside the head. Lidle are doing those mechanics cameras with the probes etc, for 30 some thing quid

Grab a tape measure and get measuring

Good for you zedhead I'm still putting the bike back together At least I never had to open the ports out for the bigger (34mm) manifolds night before last,cos it was 11.15 pm. just got to fit the oil cooler then I can spin it over to prime, then sort the carbs, and the silencer for the bigger headers and a screen and-and AGHhhh time for bed up for work at 6ish

no grunt is the first thing that gets noticed because the older engines made so much torque (mid range). But these newer engines rely on bhp which is produced with higher revs I get caught out all the time

Oh! your'e here, no need for me to ask then hahaha

No idea on the jet's but welcome anyway

I'll be there Just finished sorting the valves on an old tappet head so I can dump the shim head, set the carbs right, so that I can blast the kit down the sand

Most likely seeing as he probably gives it a good hammering

As they appear to be mounted on a plate, what about getting a local fabricator to make you some?

My 600 is a kitana cos it's a little pussy

I think he means where you buy a pack of drill bits,say 2.5 and trap one under the set carb then using the other bits, set the other carbs to suit

£10 at the gate. I'm hoping to be able to pop up on sunday

When reasembling give the taper and seat a good squirt with carb cleaner and dry thorourly thoourely properly

Check the grease I've had a few bearings that, though they were greased it was only a light smear, no need to pack em solid, but an extra blob wont hurt

Welcome to the fold As you'r Rat, I do hope you'r not gona rat it
