    Hi Daryl, If the inlet manifold is rubber, it sounds like it's split or loose. to prove this spray liberally with something like WD40 when the engine is racing, If it's split or loose the revs will no doubt change. ...Paul

    Always a possibility that the head gasket is faulty, or maybe the water pump seal has gone. Not familiar with bike so I cant be more specific than that.
  6. I see what you mean but I dont see how they cant tell you when you ask, its hardly a government secret.
  7. Why not ask the dealer what they did?

    Sounds like a vibration / loose connection problem, check the connections to the sidestand switch.

  16. Hi Shaun, the only true way to find 1.8mm BTDC is by using a dial gauge and stand like this. The stand is made from an old sparkplug so this gives a secure attachment for the dial gauge. Im curious as to how you are doing this with a feeler gauge and if i'm honest a little sceptical as to its accuracy...
  17. Matt youre scared of it, try standing on the kickstarter lever as to try to start it, you never get your backside of the seat which just results in little prods. Keep a straighter leg, see this video

    Remove the plug, place the piston at BDC...(use a pencil through the plug hole to find this) and leave it for a while...days rather than hours, the fuel will evaporate via the transfer ports into the cylinder and out the plug hole. The oil if pre-mix will not evaporate so expect a bit more smoke on initial running.
