'bodyshock' on tv
anyone watching it? it's about an american who's came out of a coma that he's been in in 19 years! can you imagine that! he still thinks he's the same age as he was when he went in. it must have been very hard for his family, not to mention his mental state when he came out of it.

Jetting troubles
no probs mate. getting a spare set is a good idea, i did the same with my pre divvie xj600(same engine as fz600 apparently!) and it saved me quite a bit when i was replacing/rebuilding my existing carbs. are you in the uk btw?

Mid Wales Winter Ride!
good clip pete, i enjoyed watching it! the roads/scenery are similar to ours. there's some really nice looking corners there too, i can see why wales is popular with bikers. so is that the typical kind of roads you ride on a sunday run? p.s have you had a ride on the ccm? always wondered what they're like...

Jetting troubles
hi jixsaw! what were you jetting for? aftermarket pipe/filter? it's strange they gave you drill bits to do it yourself. drilling carbs is a tricky business! for mikuni carb parts i'd try allens, i have bought countless jets from them for my rd before and always found them very good and helpfull. i'll try and find a link or phone no for ya....

klr service
you sooo belong to the marketing guys pete i did mean gtx! here's a few things i've read in the past- Also, it is worthy of note that from a testing standpoint, the two most similar oils were the Castrol GTX automotive oil and the Spectro 4 motorcycle oil. By similar, I mean that they tested as having almost the same absolute kinematic viscosity and density right out of the container. So starting out as equals, the Castrol maintained its viscosity several percentage points higher than the Spectro, under the same use in the same motorcycle yet the Spectro costs about four times the price of the Castrol. In any case, again I could find nothing to support the argument that automotive oils were somehow less effective than motorcycle-specific lubricants when used in a motorcycle. In speaking to a number of people involved in the production, marketing and distribution of motorcycle-specific oils, we could not find anyone who could present a valid argument for discrediting the testing done by Dr. Woolum. In general, they all tried to turn the conversation another direction by bringing up other possible advantages to using their products, while ignoring the viscosity-retention question. Yet without exception it is their own advertising that consistently brings the subject up, touting the special shear-stable polymers as the primary reason motorcyclists should purchase their products. Despite more than six months of research, reading all the claims and counter-claims printed by dozens of industry experts and lubrication experts, MCN cannot and does not purport to know all there is to know about the differences between automotive and motorcycle oils. However, what we do know is that we can find no substantive evidence that using a high-quality, name-brand automotive oil in an average street motorcycle is in any way harmful or less effective in providing proper lubrication and protection than using the more expensive, motorcycle-specific oils. now for someone who changes their oil between 1k and 1.5k who would rather spend all that money that motorcycle specific oils cost on petrol for actually riding the bike, castrol gtx does the job perfectly well! i rest my case
