DirtyDT

Not sure of the crusing speed at the moment. I can't get get much speed up in the garden. I think it should be throwing out around 23hp. It's first planned road run is Tuesday morning. First shakedown and MOT in one go. How stupid brave am I?

Tis the left hand bearing. lubed by the pump and the bearing has an oil slinger on it which throws the 2 stroke oil along a hole in the crankshaft onto the big end bearing. Apparently there is a mod to change this if required. Not an issue on the DT but I would still go the pump route.

I have dreams about that kind of place.

Ouch!

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the support mate

Get yourself to Squires next weekend Sniper and meet some of the guys.

I did. It said in really big letters "Light Grey"

Why would Halfords sell light grey paint rattlecans with a matt black strip around the cap? Twonks! I will have to change it tomorrow for a matt black one. Are they twonks or should I learn to read?

You shouldn't use anything that will not evaporate. WD40 is oil based and you will have trouble cleaning it off.

That first bike "off" is not pleasant Kev.

"MR"? How formal I hope the cheque turns up soon.

I am going Friday.

Hi and welcome to the forum Mike.

Hi and welcome. Not good news!

Ey up and welcome to the forum sniper.

Hi Blackhat. It isn't too bad. 88 non motorway miles. I haven't heard from Jason for a while. Not sure about being "surrounded" but at least you can all marvel at my number plate . We just need to make sure that everyone has at least a little petrol before the Saturday run. It is hit and miss. I think that the USPS recently changed the international posting levels so you can't get a cheap price now, but things do get delivered quicker.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am having similar issues with theTS. Quite often an earth issue, as already said. Sometimes the 2 lights are meant to be on different circuits and the extra current draw does this. Is the ty an after market fitted kit to make it road legal with no battery?

Or halfords.

1100 or you will never be happy.

It does smell nice though.

I have abandoned the original UK chrome fender for the time being and brought a US style one. It arrived the early part of the week but was orange. This has been sprayed red. Just waiting for the fittings from the US which were posted the middle of last week. Need the horn fitting. Waiting for that to arrive but I have a rough looking spare one, just in case. The last bit of spraying has oranged peeled on me so I will rub that down tomorrow and get it sprayed. The electrics have been a nightmare but I think I finally have a solution (I have thought that before though). I need to run the pilot and tail lights from the battery but they are running from the stator so when the pilot light only is on they are very bright. Should be able to sort it. I hope. The number plate is waiting to go on but that is the very last job. Not yet mate. I managed to get an insurance quote from Carol Nash. £143. That is £40 more than the SV!!! Once I get the last few bits I will book it in. If it passes and it rides ok then off to Squires on it. I have ridden it around the garden today. My lovely other half said; "it sounds rattly and is it supossed to smoke"

Are they too deep to be media blasted? If they are going to be painted you could try a liquid metal and then a dremel to sand them flat.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I would test the pump and if it works, use it. Good quality oil is a must for me. Castrol Power 1 racing 2T synthetic for me. Smells nice too.
