  1. Hi Peeps, I'm after someone who can autocad for a cnc mill. it's for turning a lump of ally into a mount/inlet for the super charger on the XS. cheers Drewps
  2. I suggest you get a manual for the bike as they will show schematics. I have no experience of your bike. you need to strip the carb and determine the thread size and height of the carb so you can gewt the correct mains
  3. whoa, hold on, that's an example. check what carb you have first pilots are for low end running, you can adjust those and when you can't adjust it anymore, then try a new pilot.
  4. buy a jet kit, only £14 from SIP. individual ones are £4 each with postage for example http://www.sip-scootershop.com/en/products/jetting+kit+dellorto+7598+_40270200

    brill photo, didn't know adfab was popular in the states, thought it was a brit thing
  6. there's no answer, thats why you buy a jet kit and see what happens, its cheaper that way believe me. Keep the carb, just rejet it
  7. needs rejetting, I fitted a new exhaust on an Aprilia SR and got a mains kit from SIP to tune it in

    hotter cams are really for top end performance, you'll kill any tractability at low speed. Unless you live in the countryside and can keep the bike on cam it'll be a pig to ride around town. better with airflow - exhaust, porting/polish, carbs and ensure the ignition is spot on

    I agree, know a few peeps who regretted that decision
  10. got a photo from the event
  11. went last Friday, and it was a blast. Its a really tight track and the FZ didn't steer very well Got overtaken by everyone and his dog, but then I've never been on the track before. upshot is, I've dropped the forks 17mm to tighten up the steering and its helped. The crmc boys drop theirs a lot more I'll try the charity one next on the 12th July
  12. well I got my ticket, hopefully Tommy can make it and the weather will be kind. A few 2 strokers off the 2 stroke forum are going

    use a vernier caliper at the adjuster to rear of swingarm and match them up either side. If you are really not sure about the correct slack in chain, just make sure you do it at its titest spot (then dab some tippex on there for future, also handy for oiling so you don't over oil chain) there is a gadet out there called tension monkey or summat like that, google it

  15. drewpy replied to wild foamy's topic in Yamabyss

    any spare kit let me have it for scouts
  17. drewpy replied to pedro32's topic in The Bar
    my first idea would be the battery amps too low, then maybe the splines are worn on the starter? starter bearings gone?

    rail guns are better
  19. well done, only ride as far as you can see, but watch for side roads especially. Cars find it hard to judge your speed I always ride with a "get out" in case it goes pear shaped in front. ie keep checking mirror and plan an escape route where you can ride through without a collision. (even if its a path)

    good luck Steve, still remember that photo of you planking on the chinnook
