    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.."

    It could be, then the piston could be hitting an open valve? why don't you unscrew all the adjusters out and see if that helps
  5. drewpy replied to xtonyx's topic in Classics

  6. drewpy replied to bralkan's topic in Classics

    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?
  8. 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!

    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.

    I assume you mean the throttle tube? Make: Yamaha OEM#: 584-26243-00 Product#: 5842624300 Price € 6.50 www.cmsnl.com fits xs350 up to xs1100

    just use trial and error, rest them on the threads and see how much they protude. i think its about 10 - 15 mm, i upgraded mine to stainless and polished them, so you can use any steel bolt with a washer!
  12. drewpy replied to jeepurz's topic in Classics
    way cool. Looking good
  13. I thought the new bikes run really hot anyway and this is normal?
  14. drewpy replied to Airhead's topic in Yamabyss
    its the George cross. St George was orignally from italy but campained in the east, so many countries use the George cross somewhere. (Spain, Italy, Estonia and England)
  15. why buy a bike that don't fit? usually the way is to cut down the seat, try leighton's in brum
  16. drewpy replied to xtonyx's topic in Classics
    sounds a bit like the missus's vital stats
  17. try raising the main needles and see what happens there?
  18. drewpy replied to Goff's topic in General
    or a long neck!!
  19. drewpy replied to xtonyx's topic in Classics
    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)
  20. drewpy replied to CadXS's topic in Classics
    you need to look in ebay germany, and pay the postage!!
  21. drewpy replied to bralkan's topic in Classics
    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.

    It was the English taunting the french, as the English were the best longbowmen. It was supposed to be at the battle of Agincourt (100 years war)
