hot air balloon
A man in a hot air balloon, realising he was lost, reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended further and shouted to the lady "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don'tknow where I am." The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude." "You must be in IT," said the balloonist. "Actually I am," replied thewoman, "How did you know?" "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct but I've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip." The woman below responded, "You must be in Management." "I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fucking fault.."

New guy..pics.
the best one i've found so far is an alarm battery 1.3AH: 97mmL 43mmW 52mmH £13 MM22Y. from some online battery place. install it on a foam mat and vaseline the battery, then foam the gap to get a snug fit. I too am not running lights except brake lamps for MOT. Any other ideas?

Rejet for pods and exhaust
raising the needle (lowering the clip will let more fuel in to compensate for the extra air) its a case of suck it and see!

XS400 - Top End
all i can think of is the rocker arm fouling the inspection caps preventing the engine from turning, oh and maybe the rev counter worm drive not engaging on the cam properly. If i think of any more i'll let you know.

the biggest I'd seen was 120 x 18 and it was really close to the swing arm and will touch the chain guard (100/90x18 om mine)

put the bike in gear and get someone to put the back brake on. then you can undo the sprocket nut after bending the locking tab away. It stops the sprocket turning as you undo the nut. check the cam chain whist the head is off and also the tensioner blades for wear. they will have a bit of a groove in them, but not much.
