How fast does it go?

I voted "maybe" This was based on the idea that all posts would be open to all but ride out, supplier and specs could be country/region specific. On the down side, it would dilute some threads, create some fractionality (is that a real word?) and duplicate a lot of similar posts. I have seen it in other forums and some are very active and others have no activity. I am with ttask'ie. with the newbie stuff. Straight in with a question, one, two posts and gone. Especially when they claim to have been lurking for a while but never seem to have read the straplines on a lot of us regular posters. I go through stages of using the "manage ignore pref" to block me from seeing some of the few post wonders. Nice to be asked though.

Fork lowers; Prepare as per my earlier post. A few coats of Hammerite silver direct to paint smooth Job done Excuse the rain drops.

Not that it needs a second opinion but tis true. Too lean will hole the piston. The other thing is that the new synthetic oils can run at a much lower ratio. Some oils can run at 50:1 when a lot of the older bikes were designed to run on a 32:1 ratio.

There is a kebab shop in Selby!

Page from the Daily Mail LINKY Includes this one

I was going to say "why?" But then I thought................it would be cool to get the brake discs lit up fire orange when you braked. A bit like F1.

Cheeky B**stard. I didn't know I said Kev could ride it!

I couldn't get a set of TW's so I have thrown on a set of Conti TKC80 Twinduro on the TS. That is a 4.10 / 18

Rain stopped play for most of the day. Indicators on and all working now. The old horn works fine so that is going to to go back on. Made up a couple of extra earth wires and fitted a double bullet on the earth side of the battery Realigned the rear mudguard. Neutral light isn't working now but the switch is earthing properly. I might have blown the blub but haven't checked this yet. Apart from this, all of the electrics are now on and working fine. Getting a good 6.75 volts feed to the battery at idle. The back looks like a good old 70's stylie trails bike now.

Nice!

You only live an hour away from Squires Kev!

I have not had a lot of time over the last couple of weeks. Spent last weekend conifer trimming and work has been manic. State of play this morning. The wheel looks great and notice the HUGE taillight. Still lots to do: Waiting for a front wheel seal that I forgot to order so I can fit the front wheel Fitted the horn and indicator relay. The horn squeeks and the indicator relay doesn't flash. Will get the earths sorted over the weekend. Can't find the battery box rubber grommets and spacers that I have had for a while so that is a major pain for getting the electrics sorted as the battery has to sit on the cardboard box in the picture at the moment. The nearside plastic panel needs to be sorted - I may just tidy this and leave it in grey primer. There is a leak behind the 2 stroke pump but I have a new gasket for it. The rear mudguard is a bit out of alignment. I had to enlarge the rear fitting holes and it looks like I didn't do this evenly each side. From the rear the mudguard looks twisted. I will try and realign this. The seat is apart and is in poor shape. I will need to do some form of repair to the base, a bit like Sacha's problem in her thread. I can't get a decent one at the moment. I have spike strips, dacron and a new cover for it so it will be about doing the best bodge until I get time to fix it properly. Ignore the orange tank, that's the one I use while I work on the bike. That's about it.

Cheap to do and the piston is out. That sound like new rings time to me.

We could ride to Hull for some fish and chips on Friday depending on when people aim to arrive. 40 miles'ish each way.

As Airhead. Use a good quality oil.

Could have been fitted without the reserve filter. They are easy to lose. They just keep any crud from the bottom of your tank getting into the carb and blocking the jets. My personal preference is to always run an inline fuel line filter - even if the filter tube is present. It saves a lot of messing getting the carb off and the jets out. LINKY

LINKY?

Call TY Trials and see what they say. Also good for advice and parts LINKY

Don't follow his example. A few years ago I "lost" 18 inches doing the same thing. And remember ear defenders and protective glasses.

As previously mentioned, It would help if you said hello in the newbies and filled in your profile. £156 pre stripped from pittedforks LINKY.

A Y26 frame number would be a YM2 I believe.

So you can see the oil. Look at the left hand picture you posted. Aren't the higher and lower oil levels the same as the 2 marks to the right of the glass?
