FAQ's for the site NOT bikes

yep, get it started first, easier to sell and get more money for it.

process of elimination rather than swapping parts. bypass the switches one by one. When I had issues like that, it turned out to be a fault in a wire from the sensor even though it ohm'd out ok

I run a '96 TDM850 and its taken me everywhere. Simple to work on and very popular in europe. MT-07 is light and newer and probably my choice.

Kevin, As I've already explained I would do. I've messaged Alex and he's promised to get back to you today or tomorrow. He also says check your spam folder in your emails

i swapped my fz600 engine for a 91 version and had to use the correct ecu. it wouldn't start and there should was a very long (over 6month) fault finding escapade. It was down to 1 wire wittch tested ok, but failed when electricity was used. check your ecu number and google that, I may have one in my shed somewhere as I did the same thing. Wasn't until i bypassed the loom was the error found

aye, same to you all. Merry Xmas and a happy new year!

14 years? I'd say its an old thread. google carl salter, I'm closing this thread

you never stop learning, i did my IAM course last year and was a valuable experience. Always look as far as you can and reduce the hazards by speed and position. Communicate to other users you are there by changing position etc As they say be able to stop within the distance ahead of you and on your side of the road.

checked float level?

can you undo them at the engine side rather than carb side? I've modded/shortened allen keys just to do that. For my TDM i have to use a universal joint on a 1/4" drive socket adapter with extensions, absolute pain to do as i have to feel around and hope i have latched onto the screw

what are carb clips? do you mean the inlet manifolds which have clamps on them?

i used one in a gilera and it had replaceable jets (some don't) managed to dial it in and ran well. A few years ago so no idea regarding the seller

seems to be a lot faster now

usually for yams, its a whittled wooden dowel bashed down to lock inside the fork at its lowest point. Do a google search. also upturned bolt (don't know which size) welded to a rod. A quick spin on a drill could turned the bolt before the inner rod span.

great news, there's a sense of satisfaction in getting something going

i agree then you can eliminate that. Double check valve timing too, been there done that

i thought you need a vacuum to fix the Carbon and glue to each other. you don't want delimitation as that weakens the product. I think autoclave might just for speeding things along

baz, clean bike you have there

aww slice, big decision, but i can understand it. Been a pleasure to ride with you in the past and some great memories. take care

i have done it but the doc carbs are different width, been a few years since i did them. had to weld a tab to connect up the carbs' butterfly I had pods on too so guessed the jet sizes. think i used the original carb size for mains.

I'm camping with scouts that weekend :(
