Hi guys, need some technical help. I've installed a dynojet stage 1 kit about 6 months ago and all has been sweet, but now I have a very strange problem. The bike started to have a misfire when cruising around at 100kph/3000rpm mark, it was only intermittent then it would go away. I hooked up an O2 ...

So have done a mad bodgy job to I have a bike on the road for the rest of the week. Removed the choke cables entirely, pulled out the plunger pin for both carbs and then sealed them in with copious amounts of copper gasket goo 8O Im not too fussed as carbs are soon to come out for a freshen up and a...

Eyyyyyy! He runs! Fired up first time after a few cranks to get the carbs filled with fuel again.

There is what feels like more engine vibration than I remember, however i've been off the bike for a couple of months so it could just be me chasing ghosts.

Thanks for the help guys, always appreciated!

Slotting the cams? Jeez that sounds technical. I think i'll just replace the chains in time. On the plus side the guides don't appear worn so they must have been changed in the past few years (90,000k on the odo so far) As for following the proper technique to replace CCT's, I didn't follow your ste...

Yep, the rear is exactly as your is/was. so happy there. The fronts line up perfectly with each other, but then the mark on the crank is out from where is should be. its only a little bit out so I will take the plunge and since nothing appears to be binding then i will give her a kick in the guts af...

Ah, ok so the way the choke works is that if the needle is pulled out of its slide then that is the choke on, but if its pushed all the way in then its off? makes sense I didn't think of it that way. The replacement part hunt intensifies. Davids looks good but delivery to Aus will be a pain. Local f...

Hi guys, have replaced 2x exhaust valves (from CCT failure) and I have a question regarding lining up the cams on re-install. On the front cylinder when the crank is exactly on the FT mark the cams are ever so slightly twisted to the right as you're looking at them, but if I move the cams one tooth ...

Hi guys, its been a long road so far regarding replacing valves, and unfortunately the choke nuts have snapped off both carbs (someone hit me). to get it started up is there any problem with removing the chokes entirely from the carbs and blanking off the port where the plastic nut screws into? I ne...

Hey all, I'm new on here, joined a few weeks ago and have only been lurking since then. I feel the need to comment on Haynes (that does the Haynes Manuals) due to very recent dealings with them. Long story short was that I changed out the cam chain tensioners and followed the Haynes method. A few be...
