  1. yep, i've done that on mine. think i changed the pilot size though. this was on a 400
  2. pods on the (Y?, shouldn't that be H?) lineate the air flow for the CV carbs
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. the saturday was pretty grim weather wise late morning but I think we got the best weather earlier in the week though. did 1000 miles in all touring Yorkshire dales and into Lancs for devils bridge. I'll put the photos on facebook as it won't let me upload any here Drewps
  8. Finnerz, the weather is going to be crap next few days so we’re going to go back early on Saturday. thunderstorms etc
  9. i'm there tomorrow. had the tour of Tameside running festival to do and finished that today with the Dr Ron 7 mile road race. 32 miles in all over 4 days
  10. 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
  11. put the gpx files in drop box https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qa6p9a9s6q3hokb/AAAOB8gx36JErJTunerbirZra?dl=0
  12. i've done it on 3 computers, 2 at home and 1 at work so it must have uploaded. when you click on it it downloads to your pc, try a right click too
  13. PDF copies for the spoon fed populous Clapham.pdf Flamboroughhead.pdf pickeringsteam.pdf Scarborough.pdf wray.pdf York daytrip.pdf
  14. Geez, download them and use a programme such as https://www.gpsvisualizer.com to open. I thought I was the old tech guy on here
  15. that's because they are not pictures! they are gpx files
  16. i've done a few routes as I'm there for the week. pickering tuesday and wray bike night thursday Clapham.gpx Flamborough head.gpx pickering steam .gpx Scarborough.gpx wray.gpx
  17. 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.
  18. poor slice, a timely reminder not to be complacent. Still not done much riding yet, so I'm pretty rusty and will take is easy for a few days
  19. 2nd August till 7t August, leaving sunday
  20. going to get some routes sorted too. I have a Ride mag with a 170mile loop listed Got to do fridaythorpe for old times sake and the "getting lost on the way back" jaunt
