hiya,

yes, the inlet manifold clamps, 2 of the allen head screws that hold them are facing towards the frame, impossible to see let alone get to

can you undo them at the engine side rather than carb side? I've modded/shortened allen keys just to do that.
For my TDM i have to use a universal joint on a 1/4" drive socket adapter with extensions, absolute pain to do as i have to feel around and hope i have latched onto the screw

what are carb clips?
do you mean the inlet manifolds which have clamps on them?

i used one in a gilera and it had replaceable jets (some don't)
managed to dial it in and ran well.

A few years ago so no idea regarding the seller

seems to be a lot faster now 👍

usually for yams, its a whittled wooden dowel bashed down to lock inside the fork at its lowest point. Do a google search. also upturned bolt (don't know which size) welded to a rod.

A quick spin on a drill could turned the bolt before the inner rod span.

depends on your weight.

10w seems ok for peeps over 12 stone. works on my fz

great news, there's a sense of satisfaction in getting something going

Considering the usual sort of price for these things, since you already have the engine apart, I'd personally just buy a new set and chuck them in...

i agree then you can eliminate that.

Double check valve timing too, been there done that

i thought you need a vacuum to fix the Carbon and glue to each other. you don't want delimitation as that weakens the product.

I think autoclave might just for speeding things along

 baz, clean bike you have there 👍

aww slice, big decision, but i can understand it.

Been a pleasure to ride with you in the past and some great memories.

take care

i have done it but the doc carbs are different width, been a few years since i did them. had to weld a tab to connect up the carbs' butterfly 

I had pods on too so guessed the jet sizes. think i used the original carb size for mains.

I'm camping with scouts that weekend :(

back Sacha, great you are still around 

its on the waterjacket, but I recon it can be repaired.

looks like it's been  frozen with no antifreeze in

nice ride out.

I got a pair of Altberg boots, they are amazing. Waterproof and Altberg can repair them too.

As used by the police so comfy as fook. Got mine 2nd hand for £50 and they were like new

I'd go for the MT-03, more road biased and that seat on the XT, ouch

🤣

Tommy and I also went to Whitby, camped at Squires. visited all the sights and pickering to see the auction house.

Some nice very roads near there btw if you venture out

i take a piece of carpet, easy enough to stow away as its only around 6" wide and long enough to protect the side panels
