    should be a great trip. some good A roads from Manchester, either through Stafford or Wales/England border and under the Telford suspension in Brisol. don't forget its the journey not the destination. post your route up and I'm sure members can PM their mob number if your in a jam somewhere or just wanna meet up
  4. bit like my brakes

    I'm excited for you. I'm still working on the Gilera and loving every minute. if you find a panel beater for the mud guard let me know.
  13. or the float needle is dirty letting too much fuel into the carb. a quick check and clean is all it may need.
  14. good review, but you ain't got one until we see a photo of it
  15. I got some aap Taiwanese rims from a company in NI £4 delivery look ok too http://motorcyclemegastore.com/motorcycle-wheel-rims
  16. looks ok to me too. no where near as bad as the Gilera I started with. the front wheel spokes look new and the rims look good too. rusty wheels can take £400 off you easily

    try a new spark plug too, as it might be fouling up/insulation breaking down

    he says it needs a new engine! unless you have access/funds to get another engine I wouldn't bother at that price. If your really stuck on it, take a gamble and let it run. email the seller and get him to lower the price
  19. ok socks and dogs = win
  20. trust fail
  21. and now it looks like this
  22. shock alternative
  23. my throttle usually makes my revs go up and down seriously, its running a bit lean, the modern fuel now has ethanol (alcohol)in it which loves attracting water. tweaking the mix screw out to enrichen the air/fuel mix like dt50 said, on the xs400 its now 3 turns out. You may have to up the slow jet 1 step.
