  1. He got the hang of the clutch pretty fast after I he realised all the cool bikes have them, probably after 1 hour, still more improvement to be made on down changing and finding neutral, but this bike is pretty haggard.

    When did you become a quality used motorcycle salesman? 

     

    I have 2 dr200 engines where they have just cut the kick-start shaft off and silicone up the hole. 

    At least buy the factory rubber bung m8

    Are they electric start to?

     

    This kick start broke off flush with the side cover and its a split the caces job to fix it, tapped a bolt into it and welded the shit out if it

    I recently got out one of my old man's 30+ year old AM Uniden CB radios that he used in the late 80's. Got it wired up in my work truck, through the cigarette lighter, then his old magnetic antenna on the roof. Works well. I chat with a few other truckies through CH 11. But apart from truckies is the CB widely used now. Cause there doesn't appear be any activity on any of the other 39 channels.

    Put a call out on the weekend or evenings on chane15 26.500mhz and there are a cople enthusiasts,

    The WUR should have no impact on the cold start injector, it'll be electronically controlled, usually by a thermotime switch. Its worth checking the cold start injector isn't leaking though, as they can be known to do that.

    I discovered the wiring for the WUR in my volvo was completely burnt and shorting out and it had no impact on the cars running, some of that same wiring I think was connected with.

     

    I have a few spare kjet systems if you need anything? I probably do more miles with this system than anyone and I believe thats what they like or they have problems

  5. Engine may make more power but that bike is probably a week old and already chrome is coming off and frame is cracked in 10 places and engine makes a loud ticking noise and its on its 3rd seat cover and some how forks are full of water and gear change spline has rounded off and the ignition fell apart

  6. I sent a piston to a shop to have the ring groves widened for new rings and I marked the front with a scribe on the crown its a split skirt piston and it has a T slot in one face, the shop took a cut off the piston crown and polished it for some unknown reason and now I have no idea witch way round it went
