wild foamy

Hi there bud. they are available on eBay, please post an introduction in the Newbie section, so we can know a little more about you and your bike e.t.c, you will likely get more responses after that

Its an engine blank, when the cabs (helicopters) are left outside we put giant foam blocks in the engine intakes and giant fabric hats over the exhausts to stop the ingress of dirt, moisture, animals and occasionally people (if there is no work on and you have downtime, its quite common to find the lineys asleep in an exhaust), we were taking the blanks off one of the cabs one day and one of the other lads was on the top throwing the blanks down to me and i was throwing them into the landrover, i missed one and it landed on my head, looked funny so took a photo. they are actually surprisingly warm, ive used one as a pillow before

I've been called a massive fag before but that is really taking the piss

tbh i would like to have my old XJ600 back, took me and the ex from lydney to bournemouth on £20 of fuel, would be great for touring if it didnt have such a pissy little tank, trouble is the fireblade wont be as good on fuel Holland sounds good tbh, aslong as i stay away from the red light district and the weed

Hi Aj, Yeah i will be back up at cosford in april for another year, north wales sounds nice tbh, just a shame i cant read their road signs

Hi peeps. Ive come to a realisation, ive been here for 3 years atleast and still have not travelled a great distance for recreation on a bike, i used to post about going to ireland for a week when i was riding the DT but in reality i doubt the old donkey would have got me there and back on one set of piston rings. i now have a fireblade, am out of the country until march and will be moving to wolverhampton in april, during which i have 4 weeks off work. so, where is the best place to go?, may be like asking a blind man to tell you what the colour blue looks like but even so i want to get away for a week or so, i will need to take kit appropriate to the climate (im not going to the peak of mt everest with a mars bar and a space blanket), just asking for opinions on what is good to see and with what kit at minimal expense. So, where have you been/what have you taken and what are your experiances?

Right, hang on a second lads i will update the thread, any chance you guys can send me the [ img] tags for these images?, saves me having to download it and upload to my photobucket an repost, especially later this month when i have 20mb internet limit -.-

im currently trying to recover my old fuel pump as-per the thread on XJBikes, when powered up nothing moves and there's no noise from it but the multimeter says its drawing 5amp at 12vdc... this seems excessive :/, i suspect the internal widgets are gummed up aswell although im not sure wether this is a metering type pump or a constant flow one

That's assuming the regulator is still any good, there's a link on that XJBikes forum with regards to de-gumming the old fuel pump, i may try and recover it if i can although i am highly doubtfull anything will be able to dissolve the thick varnish that is in it

Indeed it does use a pressure regulator, which is a seperate parts and hopefully mine is still intact, many thanks for that link pilningas, could have just saved me £1000

Well shit the bed, looking at the XJs' parts catalogue it looks to have exactly the same fittings and connections, how the fook did you manage to find that?

fuck it, if i cant get my old one to work i will probably end up modifying a different pump to fit :/

Was only looking for a new fuel pump for the XJ Turbo as mine is gummed up solid... found the part number and went onto cmsnl... have a look at their PRICE Not much better from GEARHEAD either , nearly fell of my stool when i saw that

stale smoke is horrible, but the aroma of freshly lit tobacco is enjoyable, i find... I tried quitting at work a few times, but quite often i would be restless and irate, looking to start an argument for an excuse to go outside and have a tab, the E-cigs work but mine would never last a whole 12-hour shift

Guitar, music, alcohol, used to be into the RC scene but since starting work i havent found the time/dedication to fly the planes anymore, any there's still a RC monster truck in the back of my car which is seldom used any more

The only thing that changes is which end you stink from! XD

Just been reading up on these machines, check this one out, its the only one ive seen that you can actually piss off

That is pretty epic tbh, im pulling my hair out trying to think about how he did that, im thinking old printer with custom I/O?

if you're riding a DT50 or anything else that doesnt have a trip meter, its purely guess work "A is x miles away from B, but going to C is 2x miles from (AB), i can do x miles on y fuel" e.t.c

this is what i use for reverse bleeding, purely because it was leftover from my model aircraft days, but worked a treat

similar problem on the XJ600 and on the classic mini which i put down the the master cylinder seals collapsing, used a syringe to reverse bleed the lines from the nipple on the caliper up to the master cylinder and reinflating the seals

open tank, look inside

got a link to the shop for those, Sacha?

inconsistent spark would lead me to suspect the coil, or CDI if your bike is fitted with one
