  1. the measurment is taken on fuel shut off, not floats resting. also check theat they are not twisted making measurment inaccurate. BTW i have to use a torque converter programme as I have a newtonmetre torque wrench and the settings are in LBS inch.
  2. kits from here http://shop.wemoto.com/pictures.dyn?u=2147868qqq5828092 http://www.motogrid.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/7/honda.aspx
  3. do you mean Avatar picture next to your posts? nice clean bike BTW Mark
  4. just don't mix types and brands too much
  5. if you don't look after it , yes. It needs cleaning and oiling regulary.
  6. the best I can do is use the "back to black" trim polish
  7. when I lived in Devon, we tended to get the young graduates who always throw the book at you even for minor incidences. just had to be supplicant and let them feel important to stand any chance of getting out of it.
  8. richen it a bit more, start easy and if the needles come out (too far) then its a carb strip (use ultarsonic bath)
  9. .....but if the chain snaps, bye bye engine case. got a mate with a CBX1000 and his snapped (luckily from standstill) and he doesn't gun it (wussie)
  10. one in usa which needs rebuilding. Item number: 260315180697 new? http://www.motogrid.com/pages/parts/viewby...95/default.aspx CALIPER ASS'Y (SKU: 2V0-25810-00-00) 1 $240.80 -
  11. get the carbs balanced they don't vibrate that much do you mean the starter motor chain?
  12. Tis good, now all we need is a way to blacken the "blooming" on the plastic
  13. you can pm me with an attatchment!! can you not use a rebuild kit? quite easy to do
  14. I think so, what I am thinking is that Yamaha used parts bins so identifying the caliper will enable us to offer an alternative, but the same type of caliper. I think a pikkie would be best

    jet needles

    don't snap 'em then!!
  16. not really, all calipers float but what I'm asking is does the mounting bolt go through the side or along in relation to the bike?
  17. is it the single piston caliper, or swinging caliper with the round brake pads?
  18. my wife goes for length every time
  19. I don't think specsavers are as good as people say. I went there today, and told the optician that I think I'm a bit short sighted. "Short sighted," he said, walking over to the window. "Do you see that round orangey thing up in the sky?" he asked. "Yes, it's the sun," I replied. He says "That's 93 million miles away. How fucking far do you want to see?"
