Morning. Have had a quick look at my bikes running problems. Started and switched off as suggested after 20 seconds and it appeared that 2 and especially 3 exhaust pipes were cooler than 1and4.
Changed the plugs but still the same, took off the points cover and started the bike again and the points for 2 and 3 are sparking like mad! Any ideas why that might be? Sorry my knowledge is very limited.

Evening all,
Riding into work this afternoon when suddenly my bike loses power, runs very rough and noisy. It now won’t rev above 4,000 rpm and stalls anywhere near tickover. It’s all happened very suddenly and has up until now been running nicely. Any ideas where I should start looking and what might be wrong with it? Thanks in advance.

Do people actually pay that sort of price for a secondhand tank? Or do they never get sold?

Thanks guys. I thought I had lined up those punch marks, I had better take another look.

Have just fitted new rear brake shoes to my bike but when adjusting the brake rod adjuster I can only get three or four revolutions on the adjuster before the brake starts binding on. Do you think that will be enough revolutions? Ie, no chance of the adjuster pinging off as I apply the brake?
I used Villiers as recommended by Julie and they made a very nice job of the shoes.

Many thanks both, same thought about the modern one. I was looking to have it for a short tour in France with pals on modern bikes, but may look to hire or borrow!
If you want to hire i can recommend these guys in Woking. Road Trip Motorcycle Hire and Tours. Hired a Bonneville from them last year for my 60th birthday, the bike was immaculate and they have a great selection of bikes from 125 cc to large BMW’s. Not cheap but very nice bikes.

I’ve seen this done with fork lift truck tyres at work. Quite a few yers ago though, not sure it’s still done like this.

Thanks Sesman. I use Super unleaded and my tank has a lining put in by the PO, not sure if that will make any difference. Maybe I’ll put it off for another year.

Afternoon. Just wondering how often the filter in the petrol tank needs cleaning? Mines been in there for 2 seasons now( 4,000 miles). Think the manual says every 3,000 miles but does it need doing that often or is that overkill? Thanks.

Hi K2-K6. I can see what you are saying, the last thing I want to do is mess up the sprocket. ( I’m not the most competent mechanic!). Just had a look at the sprocket and it appears the rivets go right through the sprocket.
