Airhead

could be just heat seizing with the 'new' piston, really 30 miles and you're revving to 8k plus, is that recommended practice for this bike?

Greetings Reaper

Yup, thats what I got too

Yes assuming the little G7 has an AC powered headlight

dont rush into pulling things apart, it maybe that you just dont know how to switch them on! The fact the flash works may indicate bulb and earths are all ok Perhaps the ignition key has to be in another posision to arm the lights...who knows...study the bike / owner book etc

a compression test? its an old old bike...how many miles? Rings ever changed? Trouble is I dont know what a good reading should be on a 4T? is it in the manual? Greetings alan boyle

I did, it didnt go any slower, but probably no faster either...the thing is I did a few things all at the same time so how each individual change worked out was a bit lost! I must say though I prefer the way I did it to the usual one proffered by others

maybe a new set of piston rings would be in order?

did you re-do the chain free play adjustment...this is crucial, i'm not saying its right to use a shock of a different length, personally i wouldnt. But dont let this change bugger your gearbox due to a tight chain!! Feel free to post an intro in 'New Members' forum

Well you did warn us

Not familiar but, did it work previously or is the bike new to you / her ?

oh my the bug is biting and i see another in the offing? at least we get a pic of this one then! so whats the plan...are we waiting for a volcanic ash cloud again

ouch...whats a bit of oil anyway!!!

missed this flaxxa, how did you get on oh and i dont know what you are referring to...dragged?

Greetings Mike I imagine you're right...just keep her well serviced, you seem to know what you're on about

Greetings Phil

Correct plug is BR8ES maty, put that one back in, your whitish plug is most likely the newness of it? but put the right one back

Could it be a loose or corroded battery connection?

Glad you made it back home Joe

Greetings Mark If it aint broke...fix it till it is

Its a robust little bike, enjoy using it... as much as you can Phil

£30 that was a steal, hope its a good un!

Superb pics merv so you are in Germany now eh, whats next?

Have a look at the Subscriptions tab at the top of the screen Stephen

just the points as far as i remember but its been a long long time since i had a points bike, the capacitor is only there to reduce sparking at the points
