Karl won't long for that 125

which crushes very easily, so i've been told

and you are?

I suggest you do a proper service first, timing, valves, carb balancing etc then have a look at fuel delivery, as you may have reduced flow starving the bike after 5 mins!

way aye man

got a friend coming now, she has an aprillia (someone has to) and she's a scouter so watch out lads!!

who are you?

I know claire, how is she?

he's touring with the Wurzels

i usually shit me pants

not been brilliant, its a bit like a nuclear winter, dull dull dull with acid rain evry now and then

looks like you had a great time and you had the weather? wish it were better here!

to the YOC hornix nice bike drewps

brill, slick conversion

to the forum jquinton

looking good my friend, keep those cases polished

you've got the unusual version. this is a swinging caliper and was fitted to the rd400 daytona model (us version) there is a thread on this very caliper somewhere. HERE

I like the MT-03. don't forget i get 1st dibs on your FZ though

Ritlow the needle position determines the midrange carburation. raising the needle richens and lower = weakens. I've checked my manuals and they don't say where the count is taken. looking at the pictures in there, the E-clip looks near the bottom part of the needle if that helps.

you can't beat a bit of kinetic engineering

sounds like the carbs need balancing. one pot is dragging the other, you sound well chuffed getting it going

looks a modern enfield, and you had to rebuild it? those LC wheels, or are they standard in OZ?

welcome back foams, you keeping mistress goff captive down there?

the easiest wsay to check your at TDC is put your thumb over the spark hole and listen for compression. Thats' turning the crank anti-clockwise on the left hand side the LT nearest that compression stroke is the one you use. LF is the firing mark and is in advance of TDC as it takes a millisencond for the fuel to ignite and the flame front to expand and send the piston down.

I grounded mine, but looking at the schematic, looks like they don't need to be!
