A guy is walking on the street, feeling suicidal after losing his job and divorcing is wife, when suddenly he finds Santa. "Hey Santa! I'm so glad I found you! I would be so happy if you gave me a loving wife and a new job this Christmas!" "Sure thing. You'll have all that you want if you pay a small price...", says Santa before dropping his pants and pointing to his cock. The guy finishes-up and wipes his mouth and Santa asks him "How old are you?" "38, why?" "And at that age you still believe in Santa?"

What do Michael Jackson and Santa Claus have in common? They both leave little boys' bedrooms with empty sacks

http://www.xs11.com/tips/repair/repair24.shtml there you go . I have done it, but your coils are old and will start to fail

PM mervin on this forum, he has access to rdaircooled site and will be able to help.

Battery knackered, try charging it on an optimate first to see if it will hold a charge.

Wale Oil Beef Hooked!!!

they do age and crack. they will need replacing soon, as they will suck in air.

you can use luminweld rods to build up the fins. being that many it may take a while. you can get them from Frost.

Tampax is bringing out a new tampon. they have replaced the string with a piece of coloured tinsel.... it's being released for the christmas period.

thought that was a long turd sticking outta yer arse!!

Bloody 'ell eh!! nice one, things like that drive me crazy. just sorted a friends bike (An "aherm!", gilera cougar) extra wiring and lots of tracing and multimetering!! (is that a word?)

Yesterday, a spokesperson announced that they found foot and mouth in Lanarkshire, Scotland..... they hope to find the rest of Colin McRae very shortly

I'm really into the Cretaceous period rock. the granite formations of the Phanerozoic deposits on the Earth's landmasses were especially formulatic in its Phanerozoic rock column

Im not sure that means the coils are ok as what I think is happening is, the HT primary has a bit longer to build up the power and finally jumps the gap, that is how those gizmos work which are said to improve the sparking. you need 12V to the coils!! try temp routing a lead to them from battery and recheck spark or check fuse box for any resistance. how are your leads connected to the coils? undo and redo the caps (are they resistance type? as you may have resistance leads as well!!)

are you charging ok and reg and rectifier within specs? Battery fully charged? have you made sure the earth strap is secure to the engine? my coils checked out ok ohm wise, but heated up so much the wax melted in the HT input (sealed) try a new set of coils (£23 off ebay for pair)

take the Idle adjustment screw out and if it is blunt (ie not pin sharp) the bottom part has snapped off in the carb preventing any mix on idle. ( very common as I've seen loads) if it is sharp, you have a bockage in the pilot system and the carb needs stripping also try balancing the carbs and setting timing and valves correctly as that will be the next easiest

hi, anyone go to the north weald classic bike festival on 2nd sept. Just seen an xs400 turbo by Paul Shivers in CMM page 15 and wanted a bit more info/pictures on it. cheers

yep keep it on run as there is a vacuum tap which prevents fuel flow when engine is off.

probably just a sticky return mech. for future reference you can access easily from the right side cover (after draining oil)

I'd PM mervin, the last 2 stroke I did was 15 years ago. if the laberynth seals are gone you would get white smoke from the exhaust and your gear box oil level dropping.

check fuel flow from tank, crap in bottom or vent blocked check timing first cause that's the easy part. try raising the main needle up 1 notch to see if that helps. ( 2nd easiest) check float levels and use a jet kit and replace the jets and clean out carbs using an ultrasonic bath if you can borrow one. fit an inline fuel filter now before more sh!t gets in there.

lots of times, just do a search on the forum. you have an air leak and inlets replacement is a good starting point. check your pilot screws are only 1.5 turns from the closed position and check the vacumm pipe on the inlet is still on (mine has come off in the past, miles from anywhere. you get that sinking feeling when the bike dies and relief when that all it is!) suggest you check timing and valves costs nothing to do yourself and 2 things less to eliminate YAY 400th post

the exhausts are different on the 650 as they splay out a la triumph. you will need to rejet a 650 carb or you will be overfuelling because of the extra CC's of the 650

run a multimeter on the battery set to dc volts and run the bike. you should be getting 14+ volts if you are charging properly. if not then next part to fail is regulator/rectifier.
