what's the date for uttoxeter, i went the first year and it was ok!. I thought the best small show was lotherton hall near Leeds!!

no probs len, we're going saturday 24th. I'm in Eccles and OT lives round the corner. eccles is only down the A57 from warrington!! drewps

Howdy, I need a longer side stand for my xs400 tracker and was wondering what the length of a DT or XT would be? (measured from pivot to bottom) mine is 200mm and needs to be 250-260mm in length. not sure of the shape, but mine's like a fork at the pivot with a thread to take the pivot bolt! cheers drewps

I think he's too pished to read this BJ

so that's an xs400 then assuming the carbs are off; the nozzle is removed by taking off the diaphram and needle, then take off the float bowl and floats. Undo the main jet screw and the nozzle will fall out through the diaphram end!

rock on Tommy and to the forum

nice one chris, i did reply in your other post, but what is with the side stand, i need to extend mine for the tracker and need another 50mm!

did a bit more fabrication today. built me a new battery box and looked at mounting the seat but chipped the bugger, so will need a little repair

nice one dan and to the forum your most welcome to get more involved and contribute, or even ask a question!

how do you mean? usually its the starter gear ring or relay that fails

I just put IMG tags from your jpeg so it works I use wellseal and use a small flat paint brush to apply it very thinly on each side. if its applied too thick the camshaft will have too much float and lower the oil pressure as it runs directly in the head. I have omitted the gasket goo once and still got a tight seal, but use 20w 50 oil, so tend to use the above. can you make sure that the numbers on the cam cover and head have the same serial numbers and don't forget to torque the cam cover down in the specific order that the manual says or you will distort it.

very well done, never been a fan of the redwing shocks but they tie in with the cases really well. spoke wheels are great but they are a bitch to find, but if you do, get the xs360 ones with drum front brakes for that period look. glad you used the xs750 tank as it does look good and i liketh the exhaust wrap! when you fire it up lets have a vid and you riding it!! bet your dead chuffed

maybe best to paint them to hide the marks, or maybe a metal badge slighly rolled to form round the scratches and pop riveted on, that'll make it look OEM!!

you can down load a manual in the "sticky" at the top of this section, it should give you the info you need. I had a new kit from cirus and they sent a solid pilot and it made my tickover too lean so went back to the "holey" ones the sohc bikes in the uk have identical jets for each carb, so i think its more to do with legislation than mechanical excellence!! drewps

1st you need a decent battery; I got a cheapo and it lasted 3 months!! as I ride mainly in the warmer months I always use an optimiser, the new ones de-sulphate the plates and it lasts a lot longer, they also come with a fly lead so its a matter of getting the lead under the frame and attaching the charger to that, no need to go near the battery! had my battery 2 years now

Bacon butty (or 2), £10 entry, and 2 tanks worth of juice!!

we're not hard riders and stop for brecky at the little chef where we met OG. As its st georges day march on sunday, It'll have to be saturday for moi!!

there's a 250 with wires on ebay at the mo, £325 BIN

between the sohc and dohc? nothing i can think of except the fuel

OT came on his 125 last year, ok, we zoomed off, but he soon caught us up at the lights!

I'm going on the 25th April with a friend from work. anyone else going? OT? OG? Vez?
