Airhead

doesnt matter how big the holes are, countersinking both sides will mean the new filler 'plug' cant fall out, if the hole is large(ish) cut a disk from some fine mesh to support the filler If you need some fine mesh i could post you some, they use it at work for filter screens

One annoying glitch alex. In a thread the top line of a post or reply is overwriting the ip address thus making the line difficult to read

and a 2 stroke fan

Never had the problem Phil but how about countersinking the extra holes both sides, then filling with flexible body filler? and smooting off when totaly dry...visible side only

yes they are self colured from new but after 32 years they wont look like new, in the end if you want them to look smart you will have to paint them and do your best not to chip them. you can get primer suitable for plastics. heres mine after painting

Nice one david, lucky to find it again

you do know that the 'original' rear guard has a metal inner guard to take the weight of the light assembly? equally hard to find and expensive ...and various moulded rubber items and metal bushes

Nick they are so rare...a 1979 colour only! why do you want them are yours missing?

Greetings mate nice to meet you but mervin will just send you elsewhere mind you...you will be in good company there

Four stroking is a fuel rich mixture effect. is the pilot jet unscrewed / missing, is the choke off, is the air filter clean??? It's not your DEP thats doing it

I gotta agree with that 100% shaun, tthe XVS is generally restricted to 33bhp if necessary for peeps who passed their test but still have limitations,

Greetings jon, whens the big day then

Greetings Jim we dont see many TDM owners here, hope you soon get the chance to sample the delights of the big twin, fancied one myself many moons ago

Only consolation is we get more bangs to our gallon than they do in the USA, bout the only thing that is bigger here

a litre is 1000cc, a thousand cubic centimetre's, or enough to fill a 10cm x 10cm x 10cm box a Gallon is something someone just made up many years ago that got lost in translation as the Europeans colonised America

a litre is a litre wherever you are however a Gallon, well that's a different story

Unleaded is fine. I would do 35/1 myself, after all you are in SA and its a lot warmer there with an aircooled bike than it is here with a watercooled like a DTR

One of the plus points of a pumped system is under high load it gives high oil to petrol ratio and under low load it gives low oil to petrol ratio thus less fouling and carbon build-up, premixing can never do this so the final ratio has to be able to suit high load applications and so is oil rich everywhere else. The reason you have a much bigger main jet that is apparently not making your bike run rich may be that you are premixing quite a high ratio of oil, if you premix less oil you may have to reduce main jet size too...#150

2 = REED VALVE @ £14.43 3 = STOPPER, REED VALVE @ £6.21 6 = REED VALVE @ £13.85 7 = STOPPER, REED VALVE @ £5.92 Have I missed something or what, is there a difference on each side? beats me NEV, I remebber sometimes there is a corner chopped off one or both ther standard petals on some bikes...cant bloody remember why though but it's obviously to do with correct fitting. what is the site that gives prices?
