  1. I'd love to meet up again. going to be a strange year though I think.
  2. very simply, a diode is a bit like an electrical valve, it lets electricity flow one way and blocks it going the other way. stops damaging feedback to other electrical systems

  7. I think I adapted my throttle tube on the FZ to make it more quick action. I'll have a think on what I did or where I got the info from found it, i grooved the pvc to keep the cable from jumping off (it never did but I felt it needed it) https://www.kawiforums.com/threads/quick-turn-throttle-mod-with-pvc.122605/
  8. looking at this fiche, its a bearing https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/4012594/yp250-5sj2-2002-060-a/rear-arm-suspension should be able to buy from a bearing supplier if you can get the number off the bearing it self. heat up the alloy first and press out straight. oil seal will pop out using a small pry bar 93306-302YK

  15. I bought Bike magazine in the 70's and loved Ogri and Malc. My poster bike was the bennelli 750 6 cyl and a CZ 175 (no idea why) Had the leather jacket biker less thing going and got given a cd175 in bits when I was about 15. learned a lot on that bike and even got it running after a fashion. I never got it on the road and my only regret was it had a twin leading drum brake off a gt750, like gold dust now. Left that behind when I moved to Devon. Devon was where I got a KH125 with the engine in bits. Managed to repair it and passed my part 1 off road on it over in Bridgewater, only about 40 miles away to a test to see if I could ride a bike !! crashed the bike riding off the front rim (i was young) so borrowed a ts125 with no indicators and failed my main test in Barnstaple. went back to Manchester and rebuilt the kh125, passed my part 2 and sold it then bought a lovely CX500. got taken out on that and spent 6 months recuperating. had a family so got a car eventually. sneaked a couple of xs400's into the house when I got a garage and quietly got on with rebuilding a good one out of 2 just before prices of parts went crazy. ended up with 3 bikes now, xs400 tracker, FZ600 and TDM 850 love the banter and the company, talking bikes and had some amazing rides around UK, Scotland and Europe.

    not keen on gel batteries with older charging systems, AGM batteries seem to be better to take the voltage spikes. If it just misfiring then hopefully the CDI is ok. I would test the rectifier and stator along with a decent brand battery like yuasa
