Instant 6 pack Kev Style

Yer that will help but to be fair if she is running ok and isn't spluttering up the road under acceleration then she will be fine. But if your coming up to a service you may as well chuck a K&N on her.

Thats what really pisses me off with them, they are so mechanically good they are almost tempting (ALMOST!!!) but every thing else lets them down for me. Again its just my opinion so sorry to all 535 owners if i hurt your feelings (you're fault for buying one )

Is the seller foamy by any chance? Haha

Wires on yams are easy as one plug only goes into one plug (all matched up) so as long as the plugs haven't been cut off that is

Also are you getting full travel on that kick start? As it looks like your going to be hitting the drive shaft before you get a full travel. As DT said you need all that stuff for more reliable starting as if you're in the middle of a race and stall it are you willing to get out try and kick it over, jump back in strap up and race off again?

How do you mean darker on one side? Do you mean rear cylinder is darker than the front or one side of the spark plug is darker than the other side? When i changed mine they where near on the same only mine where a tad on the whiter side so i need to buy bigger jets (but thats a side track moment) i am only guessing here so don't quote me, i would think that if one side of the spark plug is darker it maybe because of the way its sat in the cylinder and how it lines up with the valves. If one side is next to the inlet valve its getting hit by a mix of air and fuel so when it burns it will leave a certain amount of soot one that side of the plug, whereas the other side is closest to the exhaust valve and will just be clearing out the chamber. Again thats only a guess as the inlet valve should spray and coat the whole chamber with fuel/air mix thus coat the whole spark plug. But again before its all compressed its going to spray the plugs first. Hope that made sense as im on my mobile with fat finger syndrome haha

Well funny you should say that kate as Nikkita my eldest has already been on my bike up n down the car ports drive god knows how many times and is already asking for her own bike

I dont tease! haha. Me....personally, i think they are absolute shite, they look like a japanese man with narrow eyes and squinted vision designed it and then employed stevey wonder to build it, granted the engine is good but so is the string on a tampax and you really do dread having to touch one of them.

Hey Beef, good to see your back. you coursed a really big comotion when you went as there where loads of teenagers saying "you got beef bro!?"

Ht lead gives the spark, put fuel in it, charge the battery kick it over job done

where is loomes? i'll stick down a tentertive yes forr now depending what the boss says.

well these things take time, i mean your no Colin Furze so your never going to get a million hits in one day but atleast you got me

Thought i may as well join the group for a laugh haha

Thanks all, Yer being the only man about the house is going to be rather tricky, female dog, wife and two daughters so its going to be a very hormonal house hold in the coming years but atleast it give me a three week long ride out every month As long as there boy friends follw my 10 comandments there be fine Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk you’d better be delivering a package, because you’re sure not picking anything up. Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter’s body, I will remove them. Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don’t take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, In order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist. Rule Four: I’m sure you’ve been told that in today’s world, sex without utilizing a “barrier method” of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate: when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you. Rule Five: In order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is “early” Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry. Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don’t you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car? Rule Eight: The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: - Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. - Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. - Places where there is darkness. - Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. - Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka zipped up to her throat. - Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which feature chainsaws are okay. - Hockey games are okay. - Old folks homes are better. Rule Nine: Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me. Rule Ten: Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy outside of Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car-there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

Yer they look ok to me, a little rich but nothing too stupid. Again without having the book infront of me i couldn't tell you the gap either but probably worth a check if you can. Atleast you still got plenty of meat on the electrode

Hey guys and gals, thought id share a little good news to you all, i can now confirm that me and the good wife Laura are expecting our second baby girl in february 2015. We went off for our 20 week scan yesterday and every thing is in the right place and all is healthy. Laura is slightly gutted as she was kinda hopeing for a little boy but non the less we are both over the moon. just thought id share with you all

That is a bit pricey, its only holding up a 125 not a rocket 3!

Put my scribble down.

I too couldn't care what happens with the Scots vs UK crapola but the thing that i thought is a bit twatish is that i have two scottish mates, both born and bread up there but now one works here with me and the other is in the Navy, Because they are working down here they where not aloud to vote as they are out side of the "country" yet some banana boat passenger that hs on lived in there for 5 minutes gets to vote even tho they cant even speak the language. Im also with you Cynic, we def need to be out of this EU bollocks, nothing benificial in that for us and they all just seam to be the new age Nazi to me, (world domination on a political level)

As above buddy, keep your throttle nice and smooth IE no ON / OFF throttle control haha. and again nice smooth braking with a keen eye on whats going on up in front so you can judge your braking accordingly. drains and meatl crap are a no go zone but if you do have to go over them then your be fine if your already up right but if you are leaning over then just ride it out, the bike will find the grip once its slipped but this is once of them 50/50 things and will go eihter way. Another thing to look out for is the death rainbow (diesel) again if you see the stuff normally on round abouts, out side petrol stations etc then try and avoid it. ACF50 i heard is great stuff and only needs to be re-applied after washing (just not on your brakes) Gear wise, always carry a change of cloths in a ruck sack but also pack them in a platic bag to make sure they are dry, gortex gear is bloody marvolous but comes at a price, heated grips plus bar muffs will keep your hands nice warm and dry. As for winter gloves these things are pretty bladdy think so make sure you buy ones that you can still move your fingers and you can still feel your controls. get a pair of long johns (lidls do them) which will keep your legs good and warm.

I would but doing a 350mile round trip would near on kill my ass on the bobber

Well its been a while on this one but i assure you that things have progressed on this little project, i can't upload pics at the moment as the wonderful folks in our IT department have blocked all media sharing sites So so far this is what i have done: Engine is now a loverly matt black (good old BBQ Paint) Generator Cover, Clutch cover, cam cover and the TDC cover are now a nice gloss gold The frame is a sexy satin black Fuel tank has been sanded down and has had 3 coats of grey primer Things to buy: Gasket set Renthal bars Grips Bar Weights Speedo Levers Indicators Seat Head Lights Streetfighter screen Seat plastics (the side covers) Exhaust Foot pegs Fork Seals And finally the next big job to do by the end of October is to get this engine back together and fired up. Once i have some free time at home i will jump on the PC and upload some piccies

Yer the XVS range does have a bracket for a center stand but dont have them fitted. your best bet is to mesure the gap of the bracket and go to a local scrap yard and find a bike which its center stand will fit your bike. If not im sure in the deepest darkest parts of London there must be a metal shop that will fabricate one up for you

Its a big load of bollocks and the only one gettin gany thing out of it is the tax man, i still think that we should celibrate the 5th of November the proper way as Mr Guy Fawkes wanted it to happen
