Anyone manage to get out today?
did 20 miles on the ped today, it rained but I was having a hoot anyway. Went to Bolton to get some flag spade connectors for the FZ. and the traffic was horrendous but it managed to keep up with the traffic with a following wind. I have just bought a slow running jet kit as a couple of times it really bogged down. gave little G a wash treat afterwards.

OK,here are some photos 1/ Engine 2/ electrics 1 3/ Electrics 2 fitted an R1 reg/rec onto a finned alloy plate I "acquired" in a previous job, should keep it cool and managed to fit the diversion coils in too with a little bit of jiggery pokery. Awaiting new HT leads and will need to extend the reg/rec wires as the old style had a mini loom on them ;(

Fz600 Gulf
pictures would be boring bits of wire and engine to look at, but if your really keen to see them. The engine isn't scrap, I have another cyl head to put on and deciding whether to breathe on it a bit. everything I've done can be undone just as easily.

1980 XS250 won't pull in 1st
first get a manual. head over to xs400.com for the "paperwork" an '81 could either be the rare dohc bike or the last of the sohc bikes so you need to let me know the first 3 letters/number of the engine. you should have electronic ignition, so everything sounds fine there. Make sure you have the right grade plugs in, then as airhead said, check compression is 155 psi, warm with throttle fully open. could indicate either sticky piston rings or worn bore. another thing is these bikes don't like standing, modern fuel gums up in a month. I'd give it an "italian service" ie give it some beans to clear the engine out!
