    BAD DAY!!!!!

    Kin 'ell mate, you got a friday bike!! ( ask OG about Friday vehicles )
  2. also note that the engine won't turn over with the clutch disengaged/missing as the kick gear moves the gears through the tranny via the clutch to the main drive pinion at the end of the crank!!
  3. you sure its a 1.6? 1.85 is standard as far as I know!
  4. usually 90/90's, i got a 3:50 x 18 on the front of my tracker, it fits under the front mudgaurd, but I've yet to ride it so i don't know what the handlings like!!
  5. rolled off the table and onto the floor. into the kitchen and out of the door. rolled in the garden and under a bush then your little steel ball is nothing but mush.... mush mush!!
  6. you don't really need a torque wrench for the screw although it only 6lbs ft so don't go mad!! do it yourself its really easy if a little fiddly, try and buy the angled gauges as they can be manovered easily.
  7. As i said all sohc's will fit. if the contacts can be upgraded, then i assume the reverse is true
  8. no messing there, hate to think if the thing gets caught turning, you'd get a clout then
  9. renew the line and put a wire clamp in there to hold it over the nipple
  10. its got the electronic ignition trigger which is usually a later engine (circa 1980) and the engine off a special/heritage type bike due to the rounded barrels. there is a thread in the sticky to convert to electronic ignition if you want to go that route, otherwise sell the trigger mech and revert to contacts! 4G8 engine #?
  11. oil pan? is it the 6 x 6mm screws under the case holding the oil gauze cover? its a tight bugger and with no heads on will come off. Use a rubber mallet to shift it slightly with luck, the screw shafts will be protruding and you can get to weld a nut on to remove.

    Hello

    Nice one Geoff, doin' mighty fine mate and you?
  13. generally due to the high power to cc ratio, motorbike engines have higher spec oils. no need to add anything, the best you can do is change the oil regularly, save your money towards that!

    Hi There

    DV to the YOC ( hey it rhymes )
  17. is the vacuum pipe connected to both the rear of the petcock and over the frame to the carb inlet?
  18. £5 but i'm having to work that day
  19. those jets will fit as they are standard mikuni jets. as to the sizes, it all depends what you are trying to do. always best to go richer then down from there.
  20. I'd leave the tank alone and mod the frame, use the old tank mounts and grind off the old frame mounts . weld on the new mounts to the frame after careful measuring
  21. that was my fave tool!! helped me make loads of stuff!
  22. As seen on xs400.de some dude has himself an xs360 racer. Like the oil cooler, and wonder where he plumbed that into? good use og fzr 600 front disks (had to use original calipers for the series) My Fave one
