Cynic

Oops. I dont like the seam from the cap. That should have gone to the headder tank. Was on right? Dont shoot me for asking but wouldnt be the first time a cap has gone bad or it hasnt been tightened.

Dont worry about the lead sasha its only the donkey engines that need it for the valves. Just fouls the plug on a smoker.

Wish id seen that earlier (been at xmas piss up yehoo fally down water... I have engine under my bench pm your adress and ill post em

Crikey. They are 6mm metric fine with 10mm heads. 30mm or therabouts in length. Prob get them from screwfix this afternoon if your quick.

Paint it black or gold and it would be ok.... Or paint it black then highlight the fz8 in gold... Just my opinion though.

Hmm. Sounds a bit off to me. Steering head bearings dont go like that.

Foamy go for the purists...The kind of thing me and my ol man do. We took our stuff to a Brit bike meet as you do... The bikes in question being my dads 71 honda that i will have somehow. As well as my Dt. You can imagine the looks we were getting. That honda of my dads in its day out classed every brit you could buy. The blade of its day. Both of our bikes being older than a lot of the exhibits didn't help. So go get an old brit. An old bonnie one of the post units are cheap. Throw out the lead heart and graft in a rd400 motor. Then go see what happens at a triumph owners meet.........ooooh what about a dt400 in a bantam ha ha ha ha...

Wemoto do a centre stand kit. http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/Yamaha/BT_1100_T_V_Bulldog/05-06/picture/Mainstand_Centrestand_Kit/

The age ol stickler... To a mechanic a 13mm head is a 13mm bolt. To an engineer the same bolt is an m8. When i did the dt i bought a mixed pack from mr fastner. 4,6,8 and ten mm allen headed Semi stainless bolts with nuts. All metric fine. As i took out a manky one i swapped like for like.

Spend the cash on a good lock. I have a padlock that locks the chain to the sprocket. A discloc for the front and a d lock to lock it too something. All easy enough to carry. The d lives behind the headlight the others fit in your pocket.

I have told this tale before but a friend of mine will forever regret helping a bloke in leathers get his bike on a recovery truck. 'poor fellow' had lost his keys and was being recovered. Alarm screaming away. Wayne helped. Turns out they were nicking it. Broad daylight. Cos of the leathers and helmet no one took the slightest notice. A big lock locked too something. In truth anything that takes time and makes noise works. All your doing is making it harder to nick than the next bike. Shitty i know but thats how it is.

+1 Hell of a thing to fail later on. Some savings just aint worth it.

Anything that alters the bike needs to be disclosed. Doesent always mean a premium increace. Mostly does tho.

But tje 96 motor is designed to work very differently. That motor can comfortably make 20 pluss hp de restricted PROPERLY with the right electronics. It wont like the 5 wire servo much as that gives a big wide rideable torque spread. Getting an older cdi working would be a better bet. Even at the expence of newer parts. This is when you need vez to confirm it but i'm 99.9 per cent certain of this.

An early crank killer (had one of those belive me its true) F1 with the bikini fairing and pan. or one of the later bikes

If there are width options any decent tyre company will check before fitting.

After driving 2000k in 3 days it made me feel a lot better tramping up and down the m40.

I thought this was hillarious this morning on the radio..... Seeing as airhead has had a turn. Lady Penelopy " Oh parker, please remove my favorite lacy bra" Parker "of corse m'lady" LP. " parker be a darling and slip my panties off would you" P " 'cough' of corse mi, milady" LP "now then lets get those heels off and get to it" P "of....of..course mi...mi lady." LP "now then parker i hope this is the last time i catch you in my underwear........" Bdoom tish....

Anything for motorcycles. It hardly overstressed in there. Never put anything fancy in the dt and thats had some right greif over the years.

Needed that nice one.....

Just had to mention it. Have just been talking to my kids on the phone and opened the paper to it. Rips at your guts. I cannot imagine how they feel nor want to. But i feel for them. How the laws are fixed. I dont know. More will be done next time it happens. There will be another. Sure as the sun comes up. I just wish the press would erase the psycho that did it. Remove him from any publicity. Just remember the victims. That would help more than banning assault rifles.

Just more to go wrong. The system will kill the battery. What good is remote start on a bike with a manual choke. I will stay in the stone age with my remote right foot.

Oh wow plenty pics and info on this. I love motorcycle porn. Clever heads to pick. Richard at TTS. Towcester Tuning Services. If your serious he will talk you through all of it. I think he had a hand in Jack Frosts wheelie record bike. Amongst others. He is one of streetfighters go to guys. They will not compromise. As to the plan, surely low comp forged pistons will be far stronger than a spacer. Billet rods with a welded trued and balanced crank for the bottom. Whether a billet crank would be a better bet. Thats big money though. A lock up clutch too to handle the oomph. How will you fuel it. Blown carb? Injectors? That might be good. Nick the electrics from an r1 and re map.... Er got carried away.........must stop. Looks like fun, expensive but fun...

Thats the one kev. Noisy fkr too.

By rideability i think its the choice between wheelspin or wheelies. Now it just wheelies a lot. Anybody riding a banshee has to be slightly damaged.....
