seems to be a lot faster now 👍

usually for yams, its a whittled wooden dowel bashed down to lock inside the fork at its lowest point. Do a google search. also upturned bolt (don't know which size) welded to a rod. A quick spin on a drill could turned the bolt before the inner rod span.

great news, there's a sense of satisfaction in getting something going

i agree then you can eliminate that. Double check valve timing too, been there done that

i thought you need a vacuum to fix the Carbon and glue to each other. you don't want delimitation as that weakens the product. I think autoclave might just for speeding things along

baz, clean bike you have there 👍

aww slice, big decision, but i can understand it. Been a pleasure to ride with you in the past and some great memories. take care

i have done it but the doc carbs are different width, been a few years since i did them. had to weld a tab to connect up the carbs' butterfly I had pods on too so guessed the jet sizes. think i used the original carb size for mains.

I'm camping with scouts that weekend :(

back Sacha, great you are still around

its on the waterjacket, but I recon it can be repaired. looks like it's been frozen with no antifreeze in

nice ride out. I got a pair of Altberg boots, they are amazing. Waterproof and Altberg can repair them too. As used by the police so comfy as fook. Got mine 2nd hand for £50 and they were like new https://www.altberg.co.uk/boots/all-year-round10/clubman-roadster-original

I'd go for the MT-03, more road biased and that seat on the XT, ouch

🤣

Tommy and I also went to Whitby, camped at Squires. visited all the sights and pickering to see the auction house. Some nice very roads near there btw if you venture out

i take a piece of carpet, easy enough to stow away as its only around 6" wide and long enough to protect the side panels

'bout 5 hours for me or 3 and a bit on the motorway. tempted but a little too far for an overnighter

I'd start from scratch. make sure the valves are def on compression ie both loose on the cylinder and the timing mark is there. the LF (left fire should have the points opening, you may need to rotate the backing plate to achieve this, if not, then you are 180' out.

or cable sticking. if idle hangs, def too weak, if bogs too rich
