that would be nice on a middleweight twin

after market needles are slightly longer than original, so the floats will need adjusting. (via the tang)

vibration not really too bad, but I didn't have it before. if you have a certain amount of volume which is compressed by the piston,surely introducing more vaporised fuel with the same air will cause more of it to compress thus increase compression? Standard carb is 12mm i have a 19mm in thanks Cal

I've been jetting the engine the past 2 weeks in between the rain drops, and finally got the slow jet dialled in but the mains are driving me crazy. So far I went with a 95 and rode that a few miles and it went fine although a little slow. dropped it to a 92 and it ran like shit, so I upped to a 98 and that was a lot better. Got meself another jet kit and went for a 102 and it was a different beasty. the issue is it now vibrates, having no experience with Gilera's I wonder if I have too much fuel in there and its increasing the compression ratio or its normal and thats the was a 40 year old moped does! I'll recheck the timing (although I've used a dial gauge for tdc) and try a plug chop. but these modern fuels skew the results as the plug looked fine at 98! thoughts? ( about this and not random things)

I didn't have me glasses on, bloody eyes

£350? a good price

I use 40:1 which is 125ml to 5 litres of fuel. as for checking, I would start with the owner, ask him her how long they've had it, any issues, what needs doing to it then check condition and mot's, servicing (who does it) then onto the bike; wheels, ensure spokes all ping etc, then brakes, feel and pad thickness. Frame is it straight , undented ( pressed steel I think, so check for rot near the battery compartment) then start engine, listen for knocking, leaks etc. then a test ride and see how it performs. I'd get breakdown cover along with your insurance (usually in with it for bikes) then if above done, your sorted

3 design is the best, can we just agree on colour. Llaallala can we have a swatch of the switcher colours? found one here http://m.switcher.com/pub/switcher-cat14-CH/HTML/files/assets/basic-html/index.html#page9

here's the biggest laugh, 2700 views and 13 pages

number 3 for me and no full stop too

tommy can take it, he gives as much as he takes

what a load of Bollocks,or should I say Fannies. some people are up their arse, she's up her front bottom

I have time other than work, but I also have a family and other commitments in between.

I agree with Tommy, the Gilera was dragging its arse around and done a few miles on it and its getting better. still crap when cold though

I won't be able to make it atm, work is getting busy

Lee has got back to me normally. I did send him a PM last week but never got a response from that so I sent an email and they phoned me back.

TBH I walked there, couldn't be arsed riding as the traffic was horrendous

good write up Tommy, I'm sure I saw their stall at the Manchester Motorcycle show

I'd like to see it in blue first. A light cool blue would work best IMHO

where did you get the old style tax disks from foams?

last time I used one was when i was 15.

I prefer quality myself, don't tend to wear the thin stuff

well I went today, windy but if you have a tent next to kevs, its like a fresh breeze. some photos and I don't normally like new bikes,but I want this please, only £8k

ok by me too
