I'm in Tamworth if you want to meet up for an A to B comparison....

Pulled Pauline's carbs off, checked the diaphragms and pulled the jets. Rear main looked clogged, blasted them all through - and cleaned the float bowls. Ran out of time to do TPS, but now I know how they come off it'll be quicker next time. Made sure I routed the carb breathers in the factory modif...

CB400SF top yoke and then choose whatever bars you fancy....

Got the tyre swapped over, it's a 190 - but it'll do for the MOT and keep me on the road till end of season. Removed the seized chain adjusters and give 'em a clean and oil. Assembled rear sets ready to fit, just need to mod the holes on the heel guard - open them up for the larger bolts - attempt 1...

I just dealt with this problem. I turned the screw clockwise thus forcing the brass nut out with it, then used following to replace. Worked a treat http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=280708445144 Now they're useful. I'll be buying a set as I have one screw held in with plastic tubing!...

And make sure the plug caps are properly pushed on....

I'm thinking crap in the carbs. It's the erratic nature of it. Like a block in a pilot jet?

Same mechanic. I do trust him. sh1t happens - and he rectified it all. I'll even go back to him if I can't find an answer....

It's been suggested I pull the Iridium plugs for OEM spec...? (Mine runs fine on Iridium mind you)

Try a normal filter if it hasn't been rejetted for the K&N. When were carbs last balanced? Check for any air leaks in the intake/exhaust system. Is the vacuum hose intact and correctly placed. I'll double check the vacuum hose. It was faultless until the CCT replacement - the workshop know Stor...

I've been riding Pauline's 'Storm for the last few days - and I've noticed a misfire/splutter around 3,500-4,000 RPM, usually after using more throttle/revs, backing off, then rolling on the throttle. It clears its throat with more Revs and throttle - and is fine at high revs or large throttle openi...

I'm in Tamworth, so not very far. Stormy's off the road, waiting a tyre and MOT, but won't be for long - wanna get a ride before the summer... Hi mate, I'm in tamworth too and just got a storm, let me know if you want to go out for a run at some point. I'm not an amazing rider and so not that quick...

Adopt this approach and you won't be disappointed. "I'm going on a ride-out and you are welcome to join me. It starting at "Location A" at "start time" and stopping at "Location B" for coffee/smoke/eats etc. We'll be heading back to "Location A" via &quo...
