Re: Odd Running
Firstly, the restrictors are definately staying in... I will balance the carbs ASAP, hopefully that will make it a little better.... As for the "get a smaller bike", I already thought about a 250, but I'm too big :P I've had my fun on smaller bikes though... I owned a slightly tuned TZR125...

Re: Odd Running
No, I have to legally have restrictors in due to being under 21 and passed my bike test less than 2 years ago... And its not checked on an MOT... If I got caught riding without the restrictors, I would be charged for: riding within breach of license riding without valid insurance what ever else they...

The restrictors arent as bad as everyone makes out... TBH, its just like riding with a throttle that you only open to half... The smaller intake hole causes less vacuum to be created, so the carbs never open fully.... It does make it run a bit richer though...at least it seems too :S 35mpg from it w...

Odd Running
Hello people. My bike is sadly (because I'm under 21) restricted to 33bhp... Its not too bad though....just no power past 6.5k rpm :S It runs nicely between 4k rpm and 7k rpm at which point the restrictors really kick in... Now, the problem is, under 4k rpm :S If the bike has been kept between 4 and...

Re: MOT Time today.
Congratulations
My local MOT place is great...
Turns a blind eye to certain things
As long as the bike is safe he will pass it....

Re: Side Light
Dont know if it will help anyone, but here is a link with circuit diagram. http://www.qrp.pops.net/LEDs.asp 10 and 6 LED chasers.... Another idea I thought if you dont want a chaser, have a look at custom pc case lighting... Red - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/138696 Blue - http://www.ebuyer.com/pro...

Re: Just about had enough of other forums..............
I have to agree with you Mellis... Already this has turned out to be the best forum I am registered on :) The only other one I am on is OK, but its covers a selection of different bikes... So you get the people who even though they never owned you model of bike, they think they know everything about...

Re: CCT's (Sorry...)
Hope it didnt cost too much to fix it :S...
I was thinking, when I fit them, that if it has a slight rattle just to tighten the tensioners very slightly...
I dare say everything will be good
Thanks for the input everyone.
