Yeh you can lift the needle a clip, but when at Wide,OpenThrottle , the main jet size will regulate the volume of fuel, and after a mishap [ patial seize] i would go up 1 /or 2 Sizes,,, whats in her a 150 ? you may need magnifiying glass to read , if so do a 170. there on ebay ,,,cost nickles "

Welcome rod" The XS1100, yams heavy bomber at that time, nice style, great classic, look forward to some piccs,,

Yip " av got the Tshirt for this one,,,, 17years old DT175 2months old, same state, forks and bars ,,,but hell i broke my leg, and got a bollocking from attending police for riding too fast, and sent the lady on her way, and charged me, My dt got new forks and tank bars etc,... so this Rx will fix,,,

It was either gizmo or you jimmy, that said to put on thin rubber gloves below your gloves,,,

He worked out " that only a Morton fan , would use old sprockets,,,,

$500 bucks,,,, is that US dollarrs , i would need a repacement engine for that,,,,

Thats a heat seidure" and exaust side is the hottest part, your oil" are u pre- mixing ? or oil tank, ,, I think its more likely to be lean mixture,[ air/ fuel] up the main jet a size, how bad is it scored, [ jug] is it just alloy that can be rubbed out with sand paper, .. or deep grooves,?

Great read," it confirms what i"v always thot, 2 bangers are King, The Kr1S, 250 put out 60bhp in 1989, which is 240bhp per ltr. I knew if developed, the 2 stroke would be unbeatable,,,

Looks pretty clean in there, the points , while down this far renew them, they"l be pitted , or the bakalite bit that runs on cam will be worn, [ thats why they need ajustment ] , In fact , looking at piccy, they points should be touching the cam [ in centre] Unless the cam is on the flywheel,

Well done lette, roll on next summer eh "

Yeh mark ".T. 10 bikes is right, I had to heat my 750 "s pistons ,then push the wrist pin out, thats how tight they were, , ther was a lttle side play,,
