Hi guys had a little luck on a scratch card and bought this with the winnings.Boy I wish I had it when rebuilding the engine.When its on it soooo easy to move it.You can kick it over without any straining and as you can see by the oil coming out of the return piece of cake.I have a spare oil tank,carbs and coils might hook it all up and try to get it running.It was including post just over 40 quid.Whats your thoughts?
Cheers

Hi Guys
Found a really good condition hard back manual for ZX900 1000 1100 liquid cooled fours.As I will never own one anybody want it?Rather than bin it just pay me the cost of post.
Cheers

Hi Guys,
Sorry if it is already known but you can change the plugs no problem with a yam xjr1300 plug spanner that comes in the tool kit.With this one its 17mm spanner head where as the Honda one had holes for a tube.Beware do not over tighten with this.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Being a old git and miserable sod and in dire need of some nostalgia did anybody watch it the other night? It was great to see a new Honda 750F2,Two gts 550, a Harley of some sort,Suzuki dirt bikes and I think a kawa 500 triple.Brought back good memories for me.

Hi Guys,
I have a dilemma what would you do taking in to consideration I am not young anymore suffer with back pain and this guy offers me.
He wants me to restore his k2 750 he will do all sand blasting etc all the paint work no chrome work involved all good I just strip it replace chains rollers etc and put it back together.For my work he will give me a CB550k all there with 4 pipes OK not perfect but none the less not a bad looking bike.I have still not finished my k4 tiny oil leak to fix but its engine out yet again.Is the 550 worth the effort?You comments good or bad welcome.
Cheers

Hi All,
Your advice needed please.I have a k6 engine when running was OK but smoked a little,Took it to bits and measured the ring gaps which were out of spec.I have a new set but when on measuring the gaps the first two were within spec but the three piece oil ring the gap was considerably bigger is this the norm or am I missing something?If the speedo is original its done about 35 thou.The reason for this on my k4 my rings were all one piece and all the gaps were the same.
Cheers

Apparently seals leaking gas tanks and can deal with this ethanol petrol.
Directions of use,
TANK - SEAL KIT CONTAINS, 500 ML TANK-KLEEN AND 850 ml OF TANK - SEAL IN THE LARGE KIT AND 425 ML IN THE SMALL KIT AND TWO PAIRS OF LATEX GLOVES. CLEAN THE TANK WITH TANK CLEAN, ADDING SHARP STONES IS A GOOD WAY OF CLEANING AND ABRADING THE TANK INTERIOR, RINSE WITH FRESH WATER AND LEAVE TO DRY. WHEN DRY POUR TANK SEAL INTO TANK AND ROTATE THROUGH 360 DEGREES UNTILL TANK INTERIOR IS FULLY COATED,.....WHEN COATED POUR THE EXCESS SEALER BACK INTO TIN. ALLOW TANK TO CURE (MINIMUM 1 DAY) PRIOR TO FILLING WITH FUEL. FOR SMALL CAR OR BIKE TANKS WE DO A SMALLER TANK SEAL KIT, SEE THE DROP DOWN MENU. EACH KIT COMES WITH STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS.

Hi all,
I still have not got her right and do not really what to do next suggestions please.
Starts like a normal 750 full choke knock it off quick runs fine.Get it hot ticks over OK rev the engine idles nicely.The thing is I can not get the air screws out past 1/2 turn.If I turn them in one at a time it starts revving as Its riching up turn back out 1/2 turn idles nicely again but the plug colour is white,lean I think.I have checked float heights numerous times and can not get it any better.Should I try 42 slow jets, that's if I can find some?The motor is all stock including carbs jets etc.I would live with it but after reading topics here and elsewhere I am paranoid about the colour of the plugs.It seems no matter what I do I can not get it to run on the rich side.
Cheers

Hi all,
Has anybody got a fix for where the cable goes on to for opening throttle apart from the obvious?
Sorry for the photo but you can see one side has broken off.

Hi Guys.
Just noticed today at my local supermarket they now sell this crap SP95 E10 fuel.I know its been discussed on other sites before but what do you use when they faze out the 98 fuel? Will our classics become museum pieces in the next 5 years?Here in France they are fazing it out in the next 2 years.Your comments please and what is happening with fuel in the UK.
Regards
Bitsa
