    you need to be looking at around 140 psi so 70 is very low!

    you would have to measure the bore wear, could be just worn rings and a bore hone or at worse case, a rebore and new pistons/rings. its complicated if you don't know what you are doing. I suggest you get a haynes manual and read it, then you'll know what's involed. It's not an engine out job, just top end, new gaskets required (£20for top end). pistons will be he hardest to source I think +.75mm is the only ones you can get now and a specialist to rebore and hone the engine (who will need the pistons for measurement) I woudn't recommend running the bike like that as you'll blow seals in the crankcase, Get a second opinion off someone who can actually see the bike in person, because I can only go off what you tell me on here.

    happy birthday to the Queen
  7. I think it can be done as the 500 engine is bigger. you will have to make some engine plates and line up the chain to the rear wheel, a lot of work BTW!

    might be LED lamps in there, have you looked?

    sounds like the rings are worn and air is being compressed in the crankcase.

    can you not get a hook inside the hole and pull it out? it will wreck the filter so its a bit of a do or die senario. but you'll have to do it sometime. If you can take a picture it will help for more suggestions.

    didn't realise you had electronic ignition, I think you need to look at the TCI box first. drop speedshop a PM as he can give better advice on these things! BTW those are plugs and would need to be drilled aout and behind there should be screws.
  20. very nice mate
  21. drewpy replied to barkwindjammer's post in a topic in Random
    aye but have your looked closly at the tail section?

    black's a good compromise. maybe when the price is in, we can have a vote using the poll system on here!
  23. dim headlamp is usually earth connection or lack of it. the castrol stuff is for bikes and its no problem on chrome.

    oldwankeronabike how's that? Paul, get a quote first for say 15 t-shirts with what you want on there (It looks pretty much there now) and put it to the forum. Peeps will commit more if they know how much.

    the front badges should go on the left tit! you can use the cloth badge graphic I did if you want Paul, was only pulling your plonker! not sure about the big yam logo on the back, too American for my liking! I think you should all have your forum names on them, woosies
