Any ideas, thoughts on my smokey 750. Bought Nov 08, been laid up up for quite a long time after having been imported from America, it started and ran quite well, sounded pretty good and no smoke. Ran it up at home , and had a couple of small runs on it, before starting to tidy it up, once again, ran quite well, and no smoke, did a few jobs on it, and didnt run it for a few weeks, started it up in the garage, and as it warmed up I noticed some blue smoke from the exhausts,allfour were smoking, but cyls 3 & 4 were quite bad. Changed oil and filter, cleaned pick up gauze, re filled with oil, still the same, put a mix of redex and eng flush into bores,left to soak 24 hrs, drained oil cleaned filter,re filled with fresh oil,still the same. read all the posts about blue smoke, removed engine to check valve seals and rings, all looks to be fine , engine is almost spotless inside, and no sign of any undue wear and tear, HELP with any ideas, suggestions as to any other possible causes, would be very welcome. Ive thought of oil press release valve stuck/faulty, blocked oilways, cant think of anything else, I am distraught,
Regards ianmck.

merry christmas and happy new year to all,
Can anyone help please, I have romoved faulty electronic ign from my 400/4, got new back plate set from DS, came to fit it yesterday, and found cam was missing off the spark advancer, I assume it must have been removed by PO, when elec ign was fitted, it seems that they are no longer available, either from DS, or CMNSL, so for the moment I'm Stumped, has anyone got a spare to sell, or know of anywhere else to try and get one ?
Regards ianmck

Hello everyone, I am after a bit of help, just got myself an imported K4, it has just occured to me that before I can get it mot'd I will need to renew the headlight as it dips to the right, before I go out and do a straiht forward replacement, is there a better alternative that anyone might suggest that can be fitted.
Regards to all, stay well, and safe.

Hello all, just registered today, my 77 400/4 has got a misfire, no spark to no's 2 and 3 cyls, suspect coil failure, it has got Pirhana electronic ign, has anyone got a spare coil that they would be willing to sell please ? I am in the North west area, and could pick up locally. Would like to hear from anyone in the area who has a scimillar bike.
