  1. that's why I suggested Keilder, its in England, I know it touches scotland, but lets be naughty https://www.adventurebikerider.com/this-motorcycle-route-in-northern-england-offers-some-of-britains-best-riding/
  2. bikes nearly finished, i took my time as nothing to ride to. As we can go camping in the UK from 4th July now, maybe we can organise somewhere? Still up for Kielder, if anyone lives up that way to organise a ride out.
  3. and clean the tank/fit an inline filter
  4. that's smoking in the gloaming 🤣
  5. Ken, did the NW500 a few years ago, loved it. Nice the 850 although I have a soft spot for the 750. I think it was the colours it were in. Do you get to go to the Bonfest at Kirriemuir?
  6. Ignore Jimmy, he's pulling your leg. Welcome to the forum
  7. have a soft set on my fz600 . mine have a strap and this is fitted under the seat to get trapped there. this holds them in place you can put some bungie cords to stop the bottom flapping around
  8. to the site. this is just for intros. if you can proffer your question in the relevant sections in the forum this will save this area for the intros thanks
  9. cool, sounds like a great project. some nice plethora of bikes you have there too
  10. and he got served
  11. drewpy replied to Mr Ferreira's topic in Electrics
    why check ohms? you only tend to do that for the stator need to see if 14.4 volts are there when engine is at 2 -3 k revs either the battery on its way out or Reg/rec if you think charging is suspect.
  12. sounds ok to me too. I'd give it a service, when are the valves due to be checked?
  13. in Mr Ferreira. Very formal so long as your first name is not Lou and you turn green when angry, i'm sure we can help somehow
  14. didn't say you need to throttle up
  15. Dec, I suppose Ant will be on his way?
  16. fz600 have oil coolers, its basically a screw on part and i converted mine to a spin on filter from a xjr400
  17. you can use an infrared thermometer too. very handy for diagnostic and for covid19
  18. good info, did you have to machine pockets for the valves?
  19. check inlet manifold for cracks and leaks by spraying easy start around there to see if the revs rise.
  20. just keep it, not going to make a difference in the millions the DVLA take.
  21. wow, I've spent a small fortune on just the top end of my TDM £90 just for a head gasket and that's for a twin cylinder bike.
  22. to the forum I too own an XS400
  23. An alternative is to use an ignitech unit
