  1. got a scottoiler really cheap off facebook. still have the parts, just never got round to assembling them.
  2. Haynes etc recommend new bolts as they stretch really easily.
  3. I belive the dimple metal plates wemoto sell are good to. helps them not stick when cold but still grip.

  12. Had a great ride out today. Sun shone and I got diverted from the Cat and Fiddle (road works I recon) but had an even better ride as the road was even better with no average speed cameras till the end. Got to Matlock bath and had a brew then rode down the A6 and just chilled. Got caught in the rain at Dovehole and wasn't very nice but soon got back into the sunshine and decided to go to Rivvy. Saw this nicely presented Camino. I think they sold these in catalogues?

  15. could you re-enforce the sprocket bolts with locktited nuts on the other side of the sprocket carrier? that would also spread the loading away from the holes

    I go on Carpe TDM and that's very lively, 2 stroke forum is too. sometimes it goes in circles. I remember this site from early days of the RD boys, just them and me. Didn't come back for a while then it exploded when reached a certain critical mass.

    tissue roll? nah, do what finners suggest, also invest in a couple of carb cleaner spray cans, they have quite a high pressure too which helps clear jets. You also need to take out the fuel jets to clean properly and best practise is to use a ultrasonic cleaner
  21. One near you Tommy. bike meet tuesday evening 6 - 8pm at Coffee 500 http://www.coffee500.co.uk/
