Personally am all for it overall but like many see this as a massively overambitousnplanndesigned to make the gov feel smug. All electric will happen eventually, after all fossil fuel,supplies are not infinite.
What worries me is what will happen to the classic vehicles, these after all are a part of our history and should be preserved for road use. Maybe we will have to hang out and night on street corners to score fuel from a neighbourhood dealer 😂😂😂
I will probably be near a box or in one by then but my son is desperate to inherit my four.
Like all gov plans all laudable but not thought through. As many have said it’s the charging infrastructure that’s the big stumbling block.

How about £6 from 10 members for a nice new one for the RSPCA?!

Think that’s way over the top it’s for the big AL-KO ride on, ours is a small one with a small 6.5hp Tecumseh engine Something like this would suit fine I think https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362557281274If any members want to donate that would be fantastic👍👍👍 Here I am in action after the restore

I think I need something around 50 CCA as it’s only a small 6.5hp engine
A used bike battery for any old bike would be fine I think

I volunteer at our RSPCA and have just refurbished a pan AK-KO ride on mower we were donated (much fun and a longer story).
I need a starter battery for it and wondered if any members have a old one knocking around that is not totally goosed.
Currently it has a NP 7-12 battery but it has rubbish CCA rating so although it starts it once it doesn’t recover fast enough to start again. Either that or it’s just duff (I am no battery expert).

Thanks for all the replies and physics theories, interesting reading
All sorted now by rebalancing carbs and resetting idle screws
Ticking over lovely again 👍👍👍
I'm curious as to what you did in what order. I understand adjusting the idle air screw but what did the rebalancing consist of - was it adjusting an individual slider height?
Rebalanced carbs using a proper vacuum gauge set and adjusting each slide height. All as per the Honda maintenance manual.

Anyone tried SBS ceramic pads, got them on my CB1300 and they are fantastic, great bite, don’t wear the discs like sintered and very little dust. Work well from cold as well unlike sintered and resist fading unlike organic. Fairly sure I checked that SBS make them for the 500/550 but could be wrong.
When mines ready for the road I’ll certainly be fitting them if available. Just checked and they are SBS 501HF
Good to know Ken, just changed mine for ENC in an attempt to stop bloody brake squeal which didn’t help. One of these days I will lose the squeal.

Just fitted new fuel tap and did some fiddling with float heights
Now when I put bike on side stand revs are rising to around 2k
Anyone any theories?

I have a very slight drip from the fuel tap when in off position and I am getting 3 carbs that will do a slight overflow overnight. (New tap on order from DSS)
What is weird though is if I leave the tap in the on position this doesn’t happen.
Am curious to figure out what is going on here. My daft theory is that if the tap is on there is enough liquid head to snap the floats closed but if there is only a slight drip going through the floats are not closing fast enough to seal the flow.
I have checked the float levels using my manometer tube and all are fine.
Can’t get my head around this and wondered if anyone has any thoughts.
Bit fed up of going in to a fuel smelly garage each day😡😡

Am thinking of making up some stainless front hoses
Does anyone know the various thread fitting sizes/threads. There are 2 hoses one goes from Res to union and has 2 banjos but not sure of bolt/banjo size
the other goes from union to Union to brake pipe connector and has a banjo at one end a a straight fitting to the pipe connector
Bike is a K0 USA model and parts list quotes different part no’s for the US and European models but don’t know if that makes any difference to the fitting sizes though
