I had a '93 plate XT600, when you eventually got to about 85 on it,it would shake it's head like screaming banshee,no matter how hard you held on it was no use,i tried to ride through it,tried gripping tighter it was like a rodeo ride, didn't try & sort it,scared me to much glad to get rid of it...

Is there a particular version of hot grip to go for,

i'm looking to go for some at bike show.

can you not get any with just an on/off switch

i've got a 190 on the back of mine,don't know why i went for it to be honest, i can't say that its affected the handling in a negative way,bearing in mind its just medium to low/high speed use it get's (what i mean is,it doesn't get a constant ragging). The onlt thing i will say is that it doesn't l...

Hi Dagger does it feel like the clutch gets dumped instantly when your only about half way out with the lever.

I've read somewhere about uprated clutch springs,ill look it to it more its definatly here somewhere (if this is your problem ?)

Sounds like carbs balance for deffo,

TBH although it'll improve after a twiddle,it'll never completly go away.

yeah agreed Sirch i used to use mine every day for a couple of years,whilst my mate could only get on his at the weekend,so while he was gaggin to get on his for a while i couldn't be arsed.......BUT that is gonna change next year :twisted: can't wait,anyone who's ridden to west coast of wales (Aber...

Really nice job there matey,this is another one on my to do list,i'd love to restore an old Brit, just out of interest don't they call that type of exhaust a fish tail ? In my early teens a good friend of mine,his father had a nice collection of Velocette's,what great fore sight must be huge collect...

to be honest Johnd,stuff like wd is more of a lub to free siezed stuff up,after a period of time i found if kind of disolves,where as your Tefoil is great stuff,you can spray it on & it stays on tacky for ages.

Hi mate,
i'm sure with a bit of a scout round you'll find a bike in here,good luck with finding one.

front for me also,no chatter,no warning,just jumped teeth & misfired all the way home.
End of spring corroded,just keep it lubed with tefoil based spray from now on,only takes a minute to pop off 8mm bolt & stick nozzle down.

:D :D Hi mate,welcome aboard, good luck with the project,i hope to be getting something going very soon, rigid rear end,bobber type looking thingy,either brit motor with wire wheels or everything out of a good old gsxr,front end,motor ect, see what i can find first & take it from there,oh & ...
