could also check your grounds as powder coating insulates. I'd get it back on points initially like Jimm sats and get it going then put the neutronics back in after

🤣 they are simple machine, i assume you have the soho version? check your timing as you can be out 180' have you touched the engine? did it run before? carbs are a big issue as there are some tiny drillings in there and they need a proper ultrasonic clean. you can check by spraying easy start to see if you get a sniff from the engine

Rd50mx clutch slip after rebuild, hmm
I always torque my clutch springs, did you measure and check the spring length before assembling the clutch? I you don't have a torque wrench, invest in one. I cycle as well and had to buy another one 2nm to 12nm or I could crush the carbon frame. have you adjusted the clutch properly, also could be binding. take off or loosen the clutch cable and with the engine off, engage gear and see if there is resistance when you turn the back wheel. Its just a process of elimination

One for the technical types.
you could drill out the threaded part on the fork larger and rethread to take whatever adapter you need. could be a tophat section so there's more clamping action on the spindle to fork leg.

where have you been today?
went out with a mate to Southport carousel Took it really easy as too warm and the car drivers just CBA driving sensibly. Avoided a few situations if I'd been a bit faster. Lots of harvesters and tractors out too ATM

Different Bike advice needed...
my tdm850 pulls from 1500 rpm, max torque at 5k and power 6.5. it'll rev up past the red line at 8k but nothing happens power wise. It also has a 270' crank.

Kindness of strangers.
