    I also used to be in decisive, but now I'm not so sure!
  15. usually a replacement. I managed to get one from a guy in Derbyshire who made a batch of them. I suppose modern cnc can knock one up out of nylon in no time.

    travel plans

    I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone. I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there. I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work. I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore. I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often. I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm. Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older. One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalinflowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get! I may have been in Continent, but I don't remember what country I was in. It's an age thing.
  18. just a thought, chilterns did a 2 stroke tuning manual the YAS1 may be in there as yam did tuning kits
  19. depends on what age the bike is whether you have O rings or not (I assume pilot O rings) 1980 was a turn about year its not about premium fuel its about the ethanol in modern fuels.
  20. open the pilot screws to 3 - 3.5 turns out. the "new" fuel doesn't burn as well as the old. carbs need to be clean and I mean really clean. if the bike has been standing over a month the fuel starts to varnish
  21. mine was a mark 3 beast. great sloping dash in it and loads of room for "sleeping" in
  22. looks a good project. Got no info on it though. sorry
