Could it be valve bounce? 9k is quite high revs. Might need new valve springs Just a guess tho

This is the 'Noobs' forum not the 'Workshop', post a thread there and leave this for intros and hellos Greetings

Make sure your mate wraps the new loom in tape that has no adhesive Liam, he may already know this but it's best checked at this stage. It gives the loom flexibility

The clue is in the part number 91701-05050 91701 this is the generic number for clevis pin 05050 this is the size of the pin so it's 5mm x 50mm

could you have put the floats in upside down? There is usually a bent piece of the brass metal that rests on one of the float pivot pillars when the level is low or empty, this stops the float from dropping too far and allowing the float needle to rock and jam in it's guide bush.

WOW...thats gorgeous mate Go on...show us the 'before' then !

Yeah only ever buy three sparkplugs Nice bike.

yeah Paul if its not fuel starvation it could be caused by the pod filter I suppose. What degree of throttle opening are we at? try lifting the needle one notch if it isnt the screens.

Greetings Dean

Fuel starvation, partially blocked filter? is there a filter screen inside the petrol tap, or inside the tank?

Greetings bigdawg Might be worth filling your profile location in when asking about rideouts ...Paul

I dunno mate, They are a PITA these sealed beam things, I read on another forum about removung the bulb and rough but effective, attaching a new lamp held by silicone sealant? Its not something we suffer from over here I think.

Hmm I think only paying members have access to gallery, click on the subscription tab to see. However photos can be added by you to your topics. see posting photos bit in the noobs forum ...Paul

The stator is a general structure where all the coils are mounted, lighting, ignition charge (source) and pulser coils are all mounted there. your problem would be any one of two (obviously not lighting) they are usually tested by measuring the resistance between the relevant wire and ground (chassis) and comparing against spec. trouble is I dont know what the spec is. However you could compare against the readings from your mates stator to narrow it down

Greetings pegasus, i'm just over the hill

Hi wanted, now then 'Wanted' ads should be kept to the 'Wanted' section of this forum. i'm afraid you will have to pay for the privelege too, it helps towards the costs of running this forum. It's only a fiver though but I'll admit it doesnt mean you will find what you want here. I would try ebay but I suppose you have done...for a while? Did you post an intro? this is after all the 'noobs forum' ...Paul What has happened to yours?

Hey Rocky,have you got your own cable-car?

thats either a weird photo of the cylinder head, or someone has been playing with their new drill

Yeah me too, ally doesnt like 'working' and tends to crack and snap, pop out to the yam shop and order a new one,
