If your not getting any raise in idle from the Idle screw then ritchen the mix,it comes down to trial and error and you wont realy be able to set it up untill your riding it.

Ahhhhhhh ok. I did find adjustment was just right on the end of the thread. So it had to be screwed all the way in. So ill try mixtures once I've sealed the exhaust header (getting a custom header to end can welded up).

Update later with pics

Hi guys. not too much to update as im waiting to be paid before ordering the following:

  1. Indicators
  2. front and rear brake pads
  3. LED(S) for rear numberplate light - going to use power feed for rear light to spur and light up some custom numberplate lights.
  4. Valves
  5. Chain
  6. Sprockets

Wheels will have to be around July time sadly. Found an OK(ish) pair but no tyres/sprockets and they are miles away.

Anyways, So my dad came over to see me and brought along with him 2x 1.8,meter 70w strip lights.

Back on the ground on 2 wheels:

My friends taken my center stand to weld some extra metal on to raise the height. as you can see we had to use weights to get her off the ground enough to work on the rear.

So, Should have a nice load of Christmas presents coming next week! :-)

320mm would be nice, but i dont know the power of the stock brakes yet as shes yet to be ridden.

im trying to find a sprocket to fit the wheels. any ideas?

was on it, however it was shagged. and the standard talon dont seem to line up. so may have to re-order. its just difficult getting the correct tooth count.

JTsprockets.co.uk are VERY good.

OR Aracing on eBay are very helpful if you message them they'll help. JT has an online catalogue with lots of info on there

I think if it's lasted 15 years it'll last a few rainy days

Don't bother with the indicators or mirrors matey!

Me and my uncle both have full MOT without them (as they are not a legal requirement)

There's a few quid already saved! And if you lay it down you will surely snap an indicator anyways.

Have you double checked you've got it wired in correctly.

Surely it should be, on all the time, switch over to high beam. Maybe you have it setup so it's off all the time, low beam.
