  1. pilots, alter fuel through out the range, but more so up to 3-4k when the mains start. The Pilots don't stop feeding fuel so will make a difference
  2. I know its a tiger cub, but looks very similar to what you descibe https://www.facebook.com/groups/144253519054923/permalink/429094150570857/
  3. carbs prob need a good clean, but if its running OK leave alone. you might be able to flick those limiters off as I think they just push on, Caveat Emptor
  4. Andrew Elvis fan is your man, although he's not been on here a while
  5. was the fairing around the back of the bike called a bathtub? usually find mint ones in the adverts as most peeps know what they are worth

    aw no. Malachi was the up and coming star too, very young. RIP same as the IOM TT, its something the riders love doing though and I still watch it for the racing, not the carnage.

    nice, my mate's first bike. Mine was a CD175
  8. I've no idea, some suggested phasing differences in the crank, others the compromised airbox shape
  9. the 500 was a much different beast to the 400's as it was yams first attempt at a 4 valve head. the differences in carb settings was due to the left hand cyl running hotter. On the 400 they had a different jet. Can you not fit threaded spigots on the inlets and push balancer tubes over that. find the thread size using bolts
  10. not an SP, but looks really nice in the picture.
  11. make sure the head isn't leaking by checking the oil (its water cooled) they are very revvy so need regular oil changed is it an SP model?

    I generally use the helmet bag that comes with the helmet. I generally don't wander off that far either. the D clips are the only thing that are sanctioned for racing
