    Remove the washer from behind the variator on the back wheel, remove any restrictors in the airbox and drill out the stock exhaust, should get you to 40 if you wanted to get even mroe speed you start going into things like variator weights, big bore kits, aftermarket exhausts e.t.c

    just missed a set which went on ebay last night for £30 something will turn up, now its a matter of playing the waiting game...
  6. ooh, very nice, you still on L-plates? would be a handy little comuter methink.
  7. ha, i knew it

    to fit to the Jawa, its cheaper than rechroming the originals.

    what, no gears, harry? once you've done the 600 mile run-in period ask your parents if it would be okay, its safer, faster and you dont get laughed at quite as much. i'd get bored of following you at 30pmh all day...

    erm, when you say a full dep kit, does that mean you have the end can and expansion pipe set?. if so its a replacement for the original,

    Anyone know where i can get a decent set of RD350/250LC forks? been looking on ebay but wondered if there was any other place i should try looking,
  17. without a doubt it will cause me less problems, and if money was no object i would keep it 100% original. keep in my im working on a 0 budget, anything that can't be fixed with cable ties and/or electrical tape has to either be taken from a different bike or re-machined and duplicated

    The HT lead should be waterproof anyway, if it has perished or the insulation has cracked it will short out, buy a new HT lead and new plug cap and that should help solve the problem
  19. checked the floats for damage? also if your carb is fitted with a diaphragm also check this, alternatively lower the float height and see if that helps at all (had to do this with my jawa) can't see how the carb will still draw from the tank with the fuel tap off...

    check HT lead and all cables gonig to the coil, sometimes if it gets wet enough it can short the ignition straight to the head
  21. im going to try and keep the jawa front wheel and brake system if i can, otherwise i will go for a single setup i may have to end up fabricating a spacer setup for the front wheel/calipers but hopefully it shouldn't be too much trouble, lots of people in india have been putting 350LC forks on their Yezdi//Jawa/CZ 638, 639 and 640 bikes will just have to cross that bridge when i come to it
  22. as far as im aware you can't buy the horn bits seperately, i bought a whole new switchgear set off ebay (£25) because the horn button had fallen apart and the casing had cracked so every time i pulled the clutch lever it flexed it may be worth pulling the switches out and installing some proper SPDT switches for the highbeam/low beam switch and a SPST switch for the headlight on/off button, same with the horn. visit your local maplins, or i think its "radio shack" over there, and see if you can find a switch that would fit

    well, today it happened. for the first time in about 6 months my trusty thrusty little DT let me down . after weeks of sunny weather the heavens decided to open and it has p*ssed it down almost non-stop all day, and whilst i was at school the DT was left outside in the elements for six hours, so i come out and jumped straight on it, started 2nd kick with the choke on and ldled nicely, but as i get to the end of the street it started four-stroking and wouldn't rev above 2-3k, i thought nothing of it at the time because the bike was still cold. i manage to get it out on the main road and keep up with the flow of traffic by "adjusting" the fuel tap to get it running a bit better, but eventually i decided it'd be best to pull over (in the pissing rain) and let it idle for a while to see if it would clear itself out, but again the same problems arose, i toggled the choke numerous times to see if it had stuck on but alas nothing seemed to cure it, so in my desperation i pulled off the chrome pod filter and it instantly ran better, i managed to get it home (about 1.5 -2 miles) with the filter in my pocket, and upon closer inspection im surprised at how much sh*te has collected in it, i've now left it to soak in some petrol so hopefully tomorrow i can have it dried out and good as new again. even after this minor set-back im surprised at how reliable my DT is, now that i've stopped f*cking it about trying to make it "better" it has been absolutely faultless. i think im going to be keeping it next year

    the old one was completely rotten and ceised up. i have seen some on ebay for use with trailers, these seem like just the job because they still have the adjustable end on them, but the smallest i can find is 860mm... may email the seller and ask if he can get them shorter
