la la lalalala la la laaaaaaa...

damn you John, sunny weather too!

I want an LED watch.... http://www.howtobearetronaut.com/2010/12/argos-catalogue-1976/

12r is dohc glad its sorted

those weights sound too light for me and the contra spring, is that lighter than standard?

can you get it rewound if the winding's gone?

he needs a stronger contra spring

foamy would have let the missiles do their thing

cracking film set in Yorkshire in 1955, for thing motorcycle. particulary like the Banbury run and "young jeffries" getting a smack round the 'ead from his mum for stepping in front of the competitors. http://www.yfaonline...eyword&start=31

a picture would help ID it along with 1st 4 digit frame number

appreciated, not much around though

hey John, can look for some Gilera touring forks and wheels will ya, before the hoy pollloy get in.?

you have to match the variators to the engine power. have you changed the contra spring? red seems to be the way to go to maintain the top speed. I'd also do a plug chop with the new spannie. 6.5 grams seems to be the optimum roller weight, and check belt for fraying/slipping

wow, that's cool

sounds like a new brit flick story starring Renee Zellweger!!

so you have a dohc bike then (maxim or seca) they don't have kick starters I thought kickstand was a kickstarter (we call them side stands) as for exhaust gaskets, easy enough to replace, its getting the old on out of its home. (use a pick) drewps

sounds like a good plan

loved the story of how his father at 70 + years old, took a ducati to 160 kph (100 mph) and said it took a long time to get to the ton, when in fact it was recalibrated to MPH, so he was doing 160 mph on the Alton bypass!!

sounds like the engine is overfilled with oil, big style! with a kickstand means the 82' would be an SOHC, which is right at the end of that production run (DOHC's came in at '81) you may have a sight glass on the right hand side, with the bike level and not on side stand, it should be half way up the sight glass! check out ww.xs400.com too
