Is plug #2 wet?

That'll prove if fuel is getting in at all.

Mine is almost illegible on the headstock due to overzealous restoration in the past. If you can't read the stamped numbers (even after removing paint, then the only route may be VJMC/DVLA (assume you have a reg number?)

Does anyone remember the "Bike" magazine road test of the day that was titled "Nothing Exceeds like XS"

I've got one.  It's a beast.

It's also quite difficult to keep running cleanly as I don't ride it very often and it suffers from poor running through the carbs. Needs a strip and clean I suspect.

It's also for sale if you are interested.

Practical Sportsbikes is run by Jim Moore who is the deputy editor of Classic Bike. I've read all three (he gave me a free copy of issue 1  8))

It is a good read - I particularly like the "Family Tree" section.

Issue 1 featured:
LCs
Katana
ZX/ZXR family tree
Blade
Honda V4 family tree
RG/RGV family tree
CBR6

I had to wonder what he'd left for issue 2??

It's a quarterly (4 issues per year)

Hi Paul

I have a complete 550 engine in my barn. It hasn't moved for years and could be a good source for parts.

The internal condition is unknown.

Loomies is good.  Keep going west from Petersfield on the A272. Next major junction is A32 - Loomies is right there.

Also try Alton Station Cafe - but check closing times as I've made the odd mistake and turned up to an empty car park...

I have a Cibie Z on my 500/4 (Silver Machine)

Unfortunately it's a European one and dips the wrong way - requires copious application of black masking tape each MOT...    8)
