  1. cosworth worked for Norton, so they are pretty clued up on bikes.
  2. Jonny, ignore any one dissing your bike, if you like it , that's all that matters
  3. no idea what the ohms figure to the pickup is there's a few different ones out there. You need to check the manual. I had no spark issues few years ago and it was down to a wire, only found by eliminating it by going through back to basics. very fustrating and took a few months to suss. It even passed the OHMS test
  4. stator looks good. those shitty car connectors are realy crap, guess what? they are for cars not motor bikes. I suspect water got in and eroded the wiring creating a resistance, so they heat up. use 3.5mm japanese motorcycle connectors, ebay has them withthe correct shields. you'll also need a different crimper to the car one.
  5. well done guy's on the same wavelength
  6. I doubt may new bikes have dipsticks, I love 'em, hate windows (don't we all)
  7. you need automotive wire and first a bit of homework to work out the amperage. first you need the output of the bike's alternator and apply the formulae (which I'm sure your capable of googling)
  8. John, I have the 850 TDM and the engines are awesome.
  9. dodgy RR I would have thought. need to test it with multimeter
  10. use a garage compressor, some are still free, some you pay for

    this is the latest viral aparently
  16. you can always use your bike a deposit so you'd pay even less. cash is still King
  17. seen this before, but still funny
  18. nice bikes and seems a good buy. the TX can be a finicky beats so watch for cracked heads and worn balance shafts (mostly eraditacted in the second version)
  19. they made 5 versions 3vd mk1 4tx mk2 4tx1 mk2a 900 and 900a more info here www.jbx9.16mb.com
  20. he's a moron, needs taking to task. report him so there is a paper trail at least in case/when something happens again.
  21. the original headlamps? they are rubbish due to the prism design I think. There is a projector lamp for dipped which also runs a reflector lamp on high beam ( both on) my FZ illuminates better
  22. doing a bit more on the TDM. the valves are shim under bucket, so its cams out if they need doing, and they have not been touched as the original shims are in there. bought a main stand and crash bars from Rafal in Poland direct look good got some airbox rubbers coming and fitting an oil pressure switch as unbelievably, there's none fitted. just testing the fan switch just to know that it'll work when its needed, otherwise I'll have to take all the tank etc off again which is a pain. going to fit an R6 electric pump and possibly some driving lamps on the crash bars as the headlamp spread is rubbish (cheaper than HID)
