just come back from there

Coming down Worsley road on the Gilera and a Citroen pulls over to the left and slows right down, I go round him and at the same time he decides there's a parking space opposite the road and takes me out. Bent the forks, scratched me lovely frame,smashed headlamp etc. luckily I was only doing about 20mph he got away with 2 rubber marks and a busted mirror. I got a broken middle finger when the clutch lever hit the car. At least I got a witness who said it was his fault. me lovely bike

good news is the ignitor still works. and I got another set of plugs which look a lot better.... still no spark. next step tomorrow will be to separate the connections and see what transpires

didn't realise the ybr needed 2 sets, never seen them in pairs before always a single relay

raise the caliper up above the M/C if you can and put something in between the pistons to stop them popping out. some peeps can get a syringe and pump in fluid from the bleed nipple, once you get fluid in the system it becomes easier. I have got a clear tube and sucked the end whilst pumping, that sometimes does the trick. (don't drink it though) another trick is the tape the lever to the bars over night and the air will travel to the M?C but only if you have fluid in the system.

looks like you got the good weather this weekend and early next week.

I don't think it mattered she pissed in the tent, do you see all that mud? I recon it was abandoned (if they had any sense)

nah, doing my head in. I'm gonna take the ignitor back to the guy in warrington and see if it still works. If it does, i'll buy new coils and a trigger coil, not a lot else I can do

this is a very old thread, locking down

you need to really lightly,dust the decal with the clear and build up from there. its the aromatics in there which can lift the vinyl

no it was a double flusher

it would have to be a weld job. looks like the later XJ 2HW engine as it has the strange looking point on the side cover where the single pick up lives.

nice bikes Jap imports and are watercooled

only one pick up coil on this version, uses a digital ignitor to work out the rest

I know, tried the old coils as I def know they work. got a day off tomorrow and its sunny, so gonna start from scratch again

enjoyed that

snow joke eh!

looking good Kev, or is that a 10 yr old picture?

can't understand why I can't get a spark all the specs read correctly and juice is getting where it should, igniter was tested on another xj too

you not been on the tracker seat have you? ask Paul he can tell you bit silly for a day out even in a car!!

cottonopolis was a name given to Manchester when we ruled the world

I see you have the Makro bike jack, got one myself when they went down to £40 wish I had enough room for a 16' shed

I prefer Daimler Darts myself
