Matlock
As I don't frequent those areas I would not have a clue, just like mentioning stuff this way (down south) I know I may appear insular but tbh I would rather run to my south & west rather than the M5,M42,M1 etc as the directions I mention require no motorways in order to have a good ride & a meal ... maybe I'm wrong I just hate motorways ! Regards Jim

indicator relays
Hi WF the Jawa is normal to do this ... in order to heat you the relay both bulbs must be drawing current if a bulb blows or is disconnected or has a bad earth. With the both lights staying on this would indicate (excuse the pun) a bad earth. If current is supplied at a high rate they will flash faster (the relay contacts heat up quicker) to the point when the bike is flat out its difficult to work out if they are flashing or not ..... a cure is to fit a jap flasher can (of the correct wattage or replace the bulbs to suit the new can) and make sure the earths are spot on !!! btw there's nothing wrong with slovak hogs ... I love um ! Regards Jim

YB100 front mud guard
Hi Alec, Remember the raduis of a 17 inch wheel (FS1) and an 18 inch wheel (YB100) is different, save you buying one I've got a scrapper (FS1) mudguard that you experiment with ... but from memory even with using the higher bolts holes the tyre still rubbed on the guard !!! Regards Jim

New Here, Couple questions
Hi, if the plug still has a protective cover over the electrode you should not need to gap it but you could check that the gap is about 0.7mm – 0.8mm Regards Jim

Oil change on an xs400
I stand corrected ... there is a software issue ! you must have been typing when I viewed your reply as it appeared blank until I went back to it a few seconds later (after my post) .... I would get them to look at the engine before you go to the expense of fitting the tyre ... just in case the engine repair makes the bike not cost effective ! Regards Jim

My Afternoon in Stratford
Well as the weather was nice the Divi came out & had a run to Stratford Upon Avon had a bit of a look around the city ... then I came across some barges on the river/canel area &there was 2 guys performing in just thongs .. I'm sure the one was Barwell . Its worth a run to just to see all the odd bikes & Trikes .... There was an old reliant which had been turned into a Trike (rather than plastic pig) but heyho each to their own ! Regards Jim

How do I get a photo on the forum ?
And so did I that day/week ( I must admit I used the Vespa) but as the HGV's could not be driven I was home (via the Vespa) just after nine ... but I did drive down the very steep hill and wobbled up it !!! Regards Jim

XJ600 N Top End
Hi Andy, do you think a 600 divi will do faster than that ? but if you keep the bike you will find 'its cool' but if you want to go faster (on private ground) my suggestion is to buy a more powerful bike as your post suggests Regards Jim
