It looks lioke a CMA alloy but I don't think I've ever seen a six-spoke version.

This Tony Foale 500/4 shows the normal setup

For in-depth discussion on all the options (and loads of people who have actually done it), go to the US site and look at the Performance section:

My 550F2 left this morning for sunny Peterborough.

It was running a bit rough so watch out for the "looks good but came last" feature...

I've just checked on mine and Steve (Florence) is correct.

If yours is the other way round the movement of the front brake caliper must be compromised (?)

You are probably right Steve. All three of my 500s are called "2 Wheel Motorcycle" on the V5

The red plastic bit or the whole thing?

The guys in the US have been trying to persuade Yamiya to re-manufacture them.

Don't use car oil. Just Google it if you want chapter and verse!

..... perhaps I should just use F1 needles and suck it and see?

I wouldn't recommend that - petrol tastes aweful!

I had a set of 500/4 carbs like that. I used cellulose thinners (5 gallon can bought from Kempton Park Autojumble) and let them soak for about a week.  Then good old elbow grease.

As Bryan says, check the carb balance - but anything else you do will affect this so always do it last!

There was some dissent initially at .net but as Den says, we get used to it. I can even find my way around Windows 7 now!

I will have to change eventually, it depends upon how long the 1.1.x version stays supported.

I like the ease of use of the add-ins on 2.0 - the gallery, calendar, advertising and treasury modules especially [when John transferred this site to me, the first thing I was hit with was a

Announcements / SMF 2.0: What do you think?
« on: June 18, 2011, 10:04:13 AM »
Hi everyone.

Now that SMF 2.0 has moved from the Release Candidate into full release, I was thinking of upgrading the forum.

Glenn Stauffer did this on http://forums.sohc4.net a few months ago (he was using RC5) so take a look over there and let me know what you think.

My main reason for wanting to change is that the new software has far better security and spam resistance. At the moment I get about 30-40 spam registrations per day. It only needs one to get through to swamp the boards...

Also, this version of SMF is now only updated with bug fixes as the focus has moved on.

What do you think?



Steve
