Whay!! rebuilt engine fired straightaway. the reason I did it was because the engine case was porous and leaked oil. the new case was from XS360's (R.I.P.) estate and was only £2. spent another £200 on bearings and gaskets etc though!!! checked the timimg and unbeliveably it was only very slightly retarded (like me) so left it for now. just been for a cautious blast and it hunts slightly in low revs. i have reset the float height as it was set too high at 26mm and should be 32mm. I think i need to balance the carbs and richen the pilot screws. engine nice and quiet as I put in new rings i bought years ago with new cyl head (£60), camchain(£38) and camshaft (£15). MOT due but it'll piss it!! I forgot the brakes were shit hot (xs1100 twin disks)

if you mean the discount, i think its for everybody!!

:lol: I had to drill one and buy a slide hammer to shift it, that's after a rebuild the year before!! I remember sending one, when I was restoring the bike, to local engineers who had to lathe the plug thin to get out the spring. The foreman told me, the operator was banging the fork down to push out the plug and visually checked every time to see how much it moved. the last time he looked the spring wasn't there and as he looked around, the spring hit him on the head. must have shot 30 feet in the air and took a few seconds to land best £20 I've ever spent

just need to check the jet sizes as they even differed over the 400 range! to all intents and purposes, they are the same carbs as 400. i listed the jet sizes in this forum somewhere

get saving those files as in the next few days it was announced on the radio that youtube are deleting all music videos

HC (why do you hate camels?) I know what you mean about BCF!!

jason moved you to workshop!!

might have to whack it down as sometimes it gets a little rusty. get a partner (the wife) to pick out that thin, stupid, piddling, little bleedin' circlip which pings across the freekin garage and take fookin ages to find. put some copper slip in there before reinserting. and ALWAYS use yamaha O ring in there, as normal O rings are not the same size, then the top cap won't blow off under hard braking and get lost in the middle of no-where and you'll have to ride home with soggy suspension!!!!

was this it? http://www.yamahaclub.com/

Its a JAWA Wet Dream Racer, running on wild foam grown in yugoslavia seriously, the bike was made for the film by an engineering company even building their own engine!! I'm trying to find more info as I def saw some thing a few years on it!
