check the splurge hole, its a tiny hole at the bottom of the resevoir and is so that the fluid can return

you missed a grove in your edit

OOOO where were they laced? were you riding with a pair of legs flappin in the breeze?

I would also do a service. valves, timing, new spark plug etc

these groves are they like olive groves?

you must have sore tips

Clubbers in yorkshire have taken to using dental syringes to inject liquid Ecstasy directly into their mouths. This dangerous process is known as 'E by gum'

high revs means you need to check the idling system as its letting in too much air!! either pilot screw adjustment or you may have overtightened the rubber inlets causing it to bow (use feeler gauge to check)

I had a large tapping comming from the garage, it turned out it was my daughter practising her tap exams!!

should be able to take off the caliper without removing the pad srews! take off the caliper with the 2 bolts on the fork sliders, the single 13mm black bolt holds the caliper onto the carrier. you can then get access to those pesky screws to take off the pads. they rust in peace all the time and you can either modify a stainless screw with a file, or buy a new kit with H springs and the screw.

nevermind 4 cats, I want 4 candles

I want to meet the skid demon

A broad yorkshireman went into the vet's. "I've come about t'cat." The vet asks, "Is it a tom?" "Nay, ah brung it wimmee."
