Hi, i have a querey if anyone can help. My 79se will run and start no probs with the fuel tap on prim only, put it on any other possition and there aint no fuel getting through? Would a repair kit do the job or is it a case of getting a new fuel tap? And after i took of the carbs and cleaned them out my choke leaver(pull out) is abit sticky and wont stay opened fully, fun trying to hold open the choke a kick start her at the same time... what have i done wrong? Please help.

Gentleman Thank you for the clutch info, no prbs...Thanks. Can i ask just out of sheer luck if anyone knows what (longer by 4insh) fork legs will fit straight on and house the calapers? Thanks again.

Hi thankyou for the info should be easy job My xs is 31 this year so must be same or near your model. I read that deisel oil works?????????? This was on xs web page, could this be true or an XS hater. I am waiting for new cable from ebay and will fit on Saturday. Many many thanks for your knowledge. G.

Thanks for the info. G.
