Big AL" as hes known on triples club , is alive and kicking, hes on the KH& S.series forum,

Fuel nowadays is absolute pants, stripped carbs lately , ther was a tide mark in float bowls, [ diagonal = side stand.] tried rubbing it to see what it was,= like glue . choke wells were clogged ,, [ explanes poor starting last year.] put them back on bike .fired up , ran great on idle, reved it up , wouldn"d close down again, [ redline] , checked cables , throttle housing, lubed rerouted, fired it up ,still throttle sticking, So unscrewd tops took out slides , the needles were sticky as hell, so got Ultrasonic tank for this weekend, and this bike was used a lot last year , and doesn"t have a tank liner,[ to dissolve] Were in for a rough time when ethinol is increased,,,

I cudna see barky givin up the forum , he was the backbone, remember the first Squires meet , jim was there on the thursday, Saw oldtimer at 2012 squires,,

Aye up tim" are you from the north or south eire" oh by the way,,, saw a program on tele , it said that 1 in 4 men in Brighton were Gay,,, i wouldna tell any one i was living there ,,

Hes not been seen for some time, on his profile , it says Private " offline" And Professional , ? Does this mean he still a current member,,,and has been on here,,,

Hello gpm" thats a great in depth intro,,,

Yeh grouch"o. i solved the garage air hose, jammed it between slats in a drain , bent it till it cleared the disc" ,,, And you get flexi extention"s, at agricultural dealers [ tractor dealers] , they use them for duel wheels, ...keep 1 below the seat,

If you asking " is the fuel switch the choke" sounds like its a vacume petcock, as you"v never switched it on/off, my bet is youv got pipes mixed up , fuel in vacume inlet , instead of fuel inlet, coz youv not had carb in bits ,for it to f*ck up,

Some times the decomp is automatic [ works of kickstart,] it would be a cable to some where on cylnder head,... And shurely you mean bumpstart, as you"v tried kicking,,,

Am working outside , and its like Siberia, had to take an alternator off dump truck, stuck in 1 foot of mud, fookn freezin,,, ,

If its a gravitypet cock, i find its the reserve filtre that clogs first, as its lowest among the crap,

Its looking like it sach" what colour is the tank, is it the blue, i see them in usa,, and green, we had red in 75.

. thats a great answer,,,,,

Ok jay " the first vid,, sounds like fooked relay, and the second, Kicker is not engaging,[ ratchet] , can you bump start it ? i see carb stil pissing fuel too, , watched it again ,its like no compression, is ther a decompressor lever,?

you need ro download a colour diagram Grouch"o , much easier to follow, i canna see ignition loop going thru lights circuit ,,

Yip " and watch there easy to shear,,[ i put a drop thread lock on ], see torque rench thread,,

Too mutch red tape to be fun,,, i mean CC limits " wtf" everybody knows a 250cc is the most popular trail bike size,,,

Up rated springs " stiffen the cluch, too stiiff = premature cable life,,, The only bike that need uprating. are ones with big Bhp. thats why race bike have dry clutches,,,

On who " ..............................

Fk me mike "that first pic is somthin outa "Das boot" . Lots o sailers on here eh " Rum Bum and baccy "

Welcome bob,, , wheres about is that in the states,,,

Aye jay , i have , after sittin all winter, opened throttle on 1 of my bikes , and it felt sticky, and woulnt close proper, took slides out and needles were sticky, cleaned them of with spirit,,,

Cool jim" will you be at Lanark classic show [ may] , if so might meet yeh,,

Ok paul " Ha " smilies again, whats that button for, [ top left] I spoke to another freind [ car painter] he said i was too quick between coats, and to sand ,then reapply another coat of laquer, then pollish, its still look good now that i"v flatted the wrinkles ,

Biggest difference between a 1000cc bike and others is , Bhp. and low down torque. you never need to downshift , the"yl pull top gear out of corners from as slow as 30mph. And yeh paul " The Kawasaki is a looker, as kwaker"s have always been a little more exotic over the years. go back to 1968 , the H1 500 triple 2 stroke, broke the 1/4 mile records , aced the 750-4 honda. 1972- 750 triple, 1972- Z900, 1985, Gpz900,. i was a yam man in the 1970"s , but even then my dt175 was overshaddowed by the KE175, according to M,c.Mechanics mag, it even outshon the DT250,[ twinshocks] by the way these muscle bikes have low seat hieght, ,, heres mine,
