Have a look in your parts book at the kick starter mechanism, you'll see its quite a complex assembly with all manner of springs clips, spacers and a gear You're simply going to have to get that cover off and It's a good bet you'll see what the problem is It's easier to work on if you rempve the clutch...but not strictly necessary, it can be removed and re-fitted with the clutch in place but it's awkward that way...saves a clutch tab washer though at the end of the axle, you'll see it has a 'foot', check this comes to rest on a cast protrusion on the engine case when in the relaxed position. also check the spring end is in the correct place in the hole next to the outer casing screw hole (see pic)

try manchester xtreme Rick they will make the spokes and rebuild the wheels for a good price, I'd go for stainless un-polished spokes myself. Can you post up a picture? I'd like to see this bike

nice one drewpy where did ya get those then Bridlington Harbour

nice job

Thats like the one we got here in Europe, it's even got the helmet lock still in place

yeah I cant do the mobile thingy, hope john has some pics I hardly took any but I'll see what I have

Back home, tired but had a great time. In the end I went on the DT yeah I know if I had followed my head I'd have taken the bandit but I took a chance and it paid off. We did a 150 mile rideout to Bridlington with a few stop en route, sorry we missed you tommy...next time you better sweet talk the mrs and come n camp with us. Who went? Blackhat 2wheels carlmt and a young lad from Dundee (scott) with his fantastic ss50 what a lovely little bike he's made for himself even if it is a 4 banger Nice surprise to see Pat there I didnt expect that Hope you all got back safe n sound

DTLC mk 1 is coded 10V

My bikes rattling like a bag of spanners, put a spare cylinder on....not good at all!

Nice one Pat It'll be great to see you again this year

I make it 1984 damo

Its no use with a broken plate you'll need a replacement for that

Try a new sparkplug, get two, fit one and keep the other for spare, once upon a time we had manual chokes in cars too ya know

Greetings Mike I'm sure you wont be disappointed

Greetings Martin

Greetings damo need the rest of the vin to give an age fella, all 44v tells us it's a pw50

Greetings Juan, Great looking R6 you have there

Yep thats a definite maybe too...on my doorstep as it happens

Looking forward to seeing you all there

is there any danger that enthusiastic use of that brake will bend the forks?

yeah when an an engine is idling it,s actually ticking over so adjust the tickover screw for the correct speed idle is resting here in UK or just plain lazy fender is mudguard but i'm sure you'd know that petcock its a petrol tap, that's not a gasoline faucet hood, that's something you wear on your head but our cars wear bonnets on theirs. Bonnet is also fancy headwear for girls oops I started this with yeah...what I meant to say was yes

That's a shame, you'll be missed mate

like nayruf put so well, all except WOT 'Wide Open Throttle' isn't gubbed 'FUBARD' ?

yeah others will fit if they are listed for the bike you have

great news mate and a good price too, that was a stroker of luck
