Hi Guys Thanks for the feedback, did a check of all the hoses and true enough I connected the vac hose wrong. Connected it to the petcock down pipe instead of the vacuum valve which is at the back and towards the 9 o'clock position when looking from the front. She is revving like a champ now. :thumb...

Checked the valve clearances and only the front 2 exhausts valves and the left front intake valves need adjusting as they were all tight and below tolerance. Put everything back together, checked cam timings - o...

kit, can you estimate the weight of the cat by the viscosity of the mud times the depth of the impression divided by the speed of running? :D AMcQ, actually yes that is possible. assuming that the mud has not dried too much as when the paw print was made. just put a known weight on the mud, measure...

From what I've read compression testing should be done when the engine is warm, but can effective results be had from a cold engine though? I'm being lazy really as I don't want to build my bike back up to find I've got to stop it back down again to resolve any issue. Warming up the engine is to im...

Yes and vitamin A is toxic if you take too much carrots as 1 molecule of beta carotene = 2 molecules vitamin A. Vitamin A is stored in the liver and once the limit is reached it overflows. Into the blood stream causing death via toxicity. In the early days of polar exploration, explorers have died f...

how do you grind them by hand and still ensure that the shims are tolerably flat?

Yep every 16000 miles unless you have had some head work done that requires them being done. or just want to check them for peace of mind. If they have not been checked since owning the bike then it's always a good idea to check them so you at least know where the bike stands maintenance wise. Is t...

Dear All

Just doing a poll to see what is the mileage one has to do before the valves clearances are out and need adjusting.
