    You needa relay too or youll burn out your horn push, now it's complicated, bet youre going off the idea now here's mine mounted and the relay, you cant see anything when the fairing is on

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PETROL-ENGINE-AUTOMOTIVE-COMPRESSION-VALVE-TESTER-TOOLS-/390234169309?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item5adbc4dfdd god thats cheap, cant tell you if its any good...there's a saying 'you get what you pay for' i'm sure youv'e heard it. However i'm sure you are quite capable of finding one. Trouble with the DTR is it's a right b4strd to do due to a severe lack of room and if I remember right quite a few things have to be removed first. also they say it is best done when engine is hot. a good engine will show over 100psi...mediocre...say 90 psi

    12000 would be overdue a piston ring change, I would be doing it at 10k max, can you do a compression test?
  10. Airhead
    New or not I would ask for it to be checked, who's to say it was assembled correctly? I'm just pointing out that this can cause major overheating problems.

    If its a nice day I might go on the DTMX, If it's not it'l be the bandit with stebel attachment.

    Ignition timing out? too much advance can cause problems. Ask them to check it.

    Hi Denz, have you got a multimeter? Check all the fuses and dont ask me where they are, I have no idea, also check the battery is giving 12 volts, re-charge it anyhow as is no doubt flat.

    I'll give you a DEMO ON THE TOY RUN

    so you say it sparks 1 & 4 with plugs grounded. I think sparking when under compression is more difficult so to test this can you put a strobe lamp or a spark tester in line on 1 & 4 How about a possible pick up coil problem...got a spare?

    Hey welcome Bogbird bigbird for another tarting point, how about carb balancing (syncing) ?
  21. Airhead
    Youre welcome

    Use some long nosed pliers, grab a hold of the bent part of the clip, place the non-bent part into the groove in the piston and pull back the pliers until the clip will enter the groove properly, harder to explain than it is to so I think. Also best to do one side before fitting the piston. And it is important to place rags in the crankcase mouth until it is fitted properly just in case you drop one of the clips.

    Kaz yeah like i said but just dont empty the bin then you cant blame me later
