you'll have electronic ignition which needs a healthy 12v and will draw current. Don't leave it on too long as the bike is designed to run not sit with ignition on!

the japs designed their bikes to run on unleaded since 1974ish it was headed by the US regulators, their biggest market

I am the Walrus woooooooo!

it might do!

its only at £8k ATM http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-RD250-BRAND-NEW-CLASSIC-/121078540319?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item1c30d7e81f

my xs400 starts to red line at 9.25k if that helps

get the bugger now, or we will. nice sounding bikes too

reminds me of an old advert. "tell 'im Tuesday..... not which Tuesday though"

good idea someone do a search?

you could always get a raleigh!

its a zxr750 you can tell by the hoses from fairing through to the tank and the fact it has Kawasaki on it there is an FZR later on in the film. It was released in 1990, but i'd say it was shot in the 80's

OK, may still work for you. If you can measure your clocks I can measure mine (that's CLOCKS, not Cocks)

do its an rd 400c not an xs400c? didn't make that very clear tried HVC cycle?

just had a quick look through my old Vid tapes and found my Bloodrunners video. Can't even remember where I bought it. I think they were raising cash for another go and it says only for sale to the members of bloodrunners MC! (must have been a member!) stars Pete Lee-Wilson quite a trip back in time Andy Sparrow did a stint in Bike mag when Ogri left for a bit

I quite like the new V7 Guzzi

yep, the SOHC are all interchangeable with very little design change. the custom variants have longer forks and 16" wheel with a longer swing arm. Have you got the dampers yet?

oh dear, take a deeep breath and start again. Things like this happen to me and I've decided I just get on with it and not lament

your in the wrong section ( I'll move you to new members section) post some details in the classic section and maybe a photo and 1st 3 digits of your frame/engine number

well it was steak and BJ day, but that was for 1 day only Paul!

are you honing your jokes here?

carb clean should be on the to do list methinks

I think you will find it hard in modern traffic for an old 2 smoke like the bantam and franny B (same villiers engine) I think you would be better off with a non brit bike with a bit of pep. then you can get your self out of trouble easier.

may take time to find the parts you want http://www.ebay.com/sch/babenotincluded/m.html?item=121080888666&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c30fbbd5a&vxp=mtr&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562
