might call in and see you on my way home from FS1E rally, I'll ring you if I go

clean the steel plates with some scotchbrite,, just wipe the friction plates, brush oil on them when re-assembling. Take note that the little 'pips' on the edge of the steel plates are 72 degrees from each other 360 degs / 5 plates = 72 degrees. This will prevent unnecessary vibration

Nice one foamy

you'll have to wind up the preload to max and suck it and see, aint a skinny 17 year old any more ;O

yeah I'm going john but I need to just sort my TT out first, not ridden anything yet this year ......ex biker

Wow David you are having fun eh? Looks to me like you just about tried everything...one thing springs to mind though..what silencer are you using? is it aftermarket? can it be stripped and cleaned / re-packed etc? I'm wondering if there could be some carbon build up / blockage in there Neddle jet 4JC? a typo?, 4J6 I know from experience that silencer packing too tight or old and crusty will badly affect performance

leccy start? a tough bike to choose for a project I'd think

yeah you need a new carb float valve (and seating gasket), however you should be able to start it if you open the fuel tap for just long enough to get fuel into the carb and then close it again?

Thanks Tommy it's right nice of you to see something and think of me However no matter how long I looked and thought about this I couldn't really see why? Perhaps the answer is staring me in in the face all the time... It's a dodgy old swinger? !!! ya cheeky git Tommy I'm hurt I tell you...hurt!!

Greetings Keith, yeah theres lots of DTMX knowledge in here if you need some help yeah lets see some pics

stators are stationary luke, rotors rotate...the clue's in the name

the top of the piston always measures less than the bottom ., because the top gets hottest and it's to allow for expansion. To check piston you should measure it at the bottom and compare to Yamaha specifications in the workshop manual
