brake line buddy, hadthis before and it turned out i had a bit of crap stuck inside and it was working like a one way valve so to speak.

I also made my own but a much smaller version and works a treat. I will say that you do need to restrict the flow as i never at first and it sucked near all the oil out the tubes once i fitted the restictors though was fixed and working proper mint.

Hello peeps, seems i have an oil leak on the xj 600. I noticed thi the other day but thought nothing of it to be honest but it seems every time im out and then park the bike on its side stand im getting a drip. Oil is dripping out from the sprocket cover for some reason. Now i think some people will say an over oiled chain but this is not the case here. Im just wondering if there is a common seal that can go behind the cover and if so how much trouble to fix. I have removed the cover to check this but i cant seem to see it coming out for some reason.

Ok folks cheers for the feedback, I am a helmet gloves and jacket guy myself but maybe i should wear the boots too then. Don't want folk thinking im a knob i do have all the kit leather and cordura but there can be days im out then back for half an hour then out for another ten mins then in again so on and so on.

Hi all have a somewhat random question to ask you all. Im wondeing from head to toe what clothing you where when riding your bike. Now im not talking about going a 300 mile run here i mean maybe a nip to the shop, a trip maybe 2 miles to see family etc. The reason i ask is i had this talk with my friend the other day and he is saying "2 min run down the road and i still wear full riding gear" i.e.helmet, gloves, snood, bike jacket, bike trousers and bike boots. Now i can see his point for safety but bloody hell it will take you longer to put that gear on so why no jump in the car(if you have one)? Anyway your thoughts, and i need head to toe gear where mind as i want to sum up against myself.

If i had the choice i would buy the bike in first place, sorry know this is a yamaha forum but its number one sports bike for a reason. would like to know what your choice ends up being though.

Cheers guys i have now done the job and did seem as if it needed it as it does seem as if there is less noise from the engine though i do think i need my valve clearance done but not sure i want to try this as i have never touched these before on a bike. Thanks for all the help and info though.

mines only comes on as i turn the engine over as soon as its running it goes off. only light is the nuetral light like you say to display ignition is on.

Thats great on the cbt, can still mind the day i passed mine. Sure your as happy as i was. Always liked the tw but i was onto big bikes when they where out.

Nice bike buddy. Always wanted one of these.

Thanks for his guys, ive looked into this now and just trying to get a torque wrench, Many thanks.

If its a 1991 model buddy i could be that the fuel pipe is perished through age. Should be a simple fix i would say. Should only be a matter of removing the tank and checking the rubber pipes and there is no great amount of money in the pipes, local car spares shop should have something, just make sure it can hold up to fuel.

maybe tilt the bike over a bit in a secure manour of course and the oil should run the other way. Dont think there is oil in there though.

Could be doing with some help on this folks or im out of pocket for a manual lol.

nobody?
