sound like possible clutch slip, you need to check for that before opting for a bigger engine strip, can you select 3rd gear start the motor pull on the brakes and let the clutch out with some throttle, the engine should stall against the brakes, if it doesnt it's clutch slip, you say its worse after oil change...did you use motorcycle specific oil? wet clutches on bikes need this as you may know

Early bike Round sect swing arm airbox on right oil tank on left carb main jet 130 Later bike square sect swing arm airbox on left oil tank on right carb main jet 160

access from the right is 130 standard, thats why 140 may be ok but 160 will drown it!

C'mon NEV get the bullshit meter out!

phone yambits tommorow, see if they are obsolete

Doesnt sound good eh Pete, Try selecting all the gears with the motor off, just by rocking the bike back and forth...just the same?

Its in great shape for such an old bike, spent all its life under a roof when not out on the road, ohh and pedals too so if it wont start after the tidy up

there are part manual in the workshop forum, it would benefit you you to use them Geo

try yambits

This is the wrong forum Pete its for hellos here, would you start one in workshop Greetings and

Can it be a project then? Details and pics...it would be a good place

you need to take care here, I think the early one is wider than the later one

all depends on the airbox acces from the right was 130 standard access from the left was 160 standard The two carbs had other spec differences along with the main jet to cater for these different airboxes
