wild foamy

Got a jawa sat here doing nothing... would make a great winter hack for somebody failing that buy an XJ, they arent slow by any means (120mph with my scrawny 9st ass on it and my slightly larger brother perched on the back), i did 90 miles on £10 of fuel (at 90-100 most of the time) and parts are dirt cheap and easy to find, plus they look kinda like the kawasaki GPZ900 that tom cruise had in top gun

lol, forgot to ask ye' Giz, what size straite jacket you want?

work continued today, flushed the carb out with fresh fuel, cleaned the spark plugs, put in some fresh mix of 50:1 petroil, and sure enough with a bit of coaxing it is now running on both pots, spent most of this afternoon giving 'er a good thrashing around the airfield perimiter (remember that scene from top gun where an F-14 flies past tom cruise when hes on the GPZ900?... yeh, was like that but slightly less dignified) = A happy foamy

awesome, will keep a lookout for a second hand headlight. got some funny looks from the gate guards as we unloaded it from the trailer and in a cloud of blue smoke i half rode/half pushed it up the incline to get to the car park, was only running on one cylinder with the occasional pop from the second, but all is well and the jawa is now sat in the car park next to my XJ

Hey peeps. for soem reason i had a massive urge to work on the Jawa today, so out came the shovel, can of easy-start and a foot pump and within no time it was exhumed from the weeds and shrubs at the end of the garden. now, one thing it needs is a headlight as i dropped a big adjustable spanner on the original one and smashed it... i need a headlight that measures no more than 7" wide and 5" high, which other bikes use a square headlight with those dimensions? preferably not more than £20 as im a skinflint compared to the XJ, the Jawa now feels small, and compared with the old DT the XJ is a tank...

another XJ rider, hurrah! welcome to the forum

terribly sorry Sir Drewp, monies was sent last night whilst under the influence of certain alcoholic beverages

i have nothing wrong with feet, dont find them particularly sexy either, they is just feets :/ my fetishes are redheads, tattoos and moderate piercings

what you talkin aboot?, i dont need to land, i can parachute drop the XJ out the back of a Merlin XD

reminds me of my old DT... *sniffle*

you've got male! foamy sent the payments, all is now well in the world

roflcopter finds this amusing

... Its good to have land... *mupp mupp, puffff*

if i remember rightly on the DT... there was a circlip and a washer holding the sprocket on, failure of this circlip could cause the sprocket to f*ck off on its own. 13T sprocket would give slightly better acceleration at the expense of some top speed

Maybe so 2W, but alas, now it shall never be, she's gone :'( *sniffle* and Chris, i know of a few old men who wouldnt mind riding a 17 year old

Hey peeps. not sure how to say this, but i think i have a fetish for the older ladies... first the DT, now the XJ... and ive seen an FJ1200 on eBay that i reeeeeally like... what is it about the more mature ones that entices me so?... i get the p*ss taken for having a bike older than myself... but what a bike

wow, talk about knee down!

hey, for all i know there could be a whole squadron of mini foamys running around, my car was dubbed the passion wagon for a reason (i know this is an old thread, but i missed that post lol)

Similar thing happened to me, and resulting in my beloved Suzuki Swift (dubbed "The Passion Wagon") being wrote off, taxi driver parked on the footpath of a one way street, no indicators, pulled out into the side of me. try and sort it privately if you can, although if you choose to go through the insurance companies it will be his word against yours unless you have witnesses, and if he does not accept liability it will take longer as they would have to rebuild the series of events that lead to the accident, if he failed to indicate and give other road users (i.e you) enough time to plan and react accordingly, then he was in violation of the highway code. the most likely times for an accident are the first 5 miles and last 5 miles of your journey , ride safe peeps

cheers bw, been in contact with the bike club here at Benson and will hopefully be able to get the carbs balanced this week, may also be able to go with the club to the TT next year! XD

as above, get your civie gp to give a second opinion, failing that perhaps a medical officer

monstehs, what say?n

blasphemy! . if you cant prove the age of it as i understand it they may well make it a 'Q plate Nice to meets ya, i be Foameh

Reg/Rec or alternator, check the windings to the alternator and makes sure they are putting out an AC voltage, should be around 60v@5000rpm, if they are all good then its your reg/rec

if its hesitating i would be looking at tunings, check the colour of your spark plug electrode.
