Pricey at ten grand plus the car but if I win the lottery I would get one. Maybe a Hayabusa engine. That would scare all the neon lit, big exhaust, lexus lights saxo drivers out there Shame about knockhill. Maybe we all need a drinking camping weekend.

Hi Big Yin, Yep a Morris Minor (moggie) flatbed. I think they had 1000cc engines in most, originally but I would guess that the Yami lump makes it pretty quick. Not sure about the second picture. It looked the dogs up close though. The rain was bad earlier but it looks OK now. If you drink enough you don't care about the rain. There was a mini with a bike engine and a company who put GSXR engines into Smart cars. I don't have the pictures but the smart car company is Here Watch the vids. Great!

The price of beer
Hi Big Yin, I can't be a*sed. They do some good prices but I have a "Bargain Booze" shop at the bottom of the road. Very good deals there. Not that I drink much you understand.

Chinese import bikes
Hi Big Yin, Do you mean "these bikes are a yoke"? I went to a Chinese restaurant the other day. I got my meal and the waiter came up to me and said "How is you meal sir?" I replied "The chicken is rubbery" He said "Ahhhhh fank you werry much" Old ones are the best

Rounded off allen bolt?
I had similar on an oil pump. Heat it a few times. WD40 it a lot. Cut a slot in one side of the head or nick the head enough so a flat screwdriver can sit in the nick and then hit the driver to push the bolt anticlockwise. Repeat the process. Picture 1 shows the oil pump drive and the holes for the new screws. Picture 2 shows the bolts above the removed oilpump. Picture 3 shows new Allen bolts installed.

Chinese import bikes
I used to have a onehunglow Chinese bikes are cheap and although they may not be reliable or have the Japaneses infrastructure, that is what happened in the 60's when Japanese bikes took over from the likes of BSA, Triumph and Norton etc. Because they don't hold their price means that more people can afford them which means more bikers new and returners that can enjoy what we do. If history repeats itself then get a 250 something Chinese and store it. It may be worth a few quid in the future.

Thanks Cynic. I got a Clymer one because I heard it was the best but it is still lacking in a lot of departments. Cheers

I hope you vehicle checked it? If the tyres are square it might be a motorway hack. It can kill the steering bearings as they can wear in one place.

Ah. turned my glasses around.. That is much better. Like a slipper for bigfoot eh! It would be no good for me. I would have to hop to the fridge for beers. Darn clever these orientals. The thought process of slipper - Banana skin - Monkey is genius

chain juming
At least the plaster will go off quick in this heat. The same therory applies to all the links, loose or fixed. I would check that they are moving freely up and down. If one is sticking then it will show up on the smaller sprocket. if you bend your index finger to the curve of the back sprocket you will see how much the chain needs to move. Now do this to the curve of the front sprocket and you can see that the chain needs to come in on itself a lot more. All the links on the chain need to be free to curve that much. Not very technical, I know

chain juming
Are the sprockets 15 and 48? You said you brought a kit but you may have got the wrong toothed front sprocket. If you put a loose link in the chain I would check that you have not pinched it so that it is not able to move around the smaller sprocket.

Granby's are very friendly. They were recommended to me by a forum member. I have brought stuff from Webmoto also. I use this site to see what the part number is. Here As it makes it easier over the phone.
