Hi all,
I've stripped 2 of the threads on my engine so as a result the rocker cover will not tighten down causing an oil leak.
Is using heli coils the correct way to go, and is it something I can do myself or do I need a motor engineer to do it?
Any advice is appreciated, as thread repairs is something I've never done.
Thanks
Andy

Hya Steve,
I managed to get the bike to the local mechanic on friday morning, it turned out to be a wire shorting out on the ignititon barrel. Managed to sort it and get away for the weekend

Help I'm in the s*!t big time. I've been checking my bike over prior to this weekends trip away. Everything seemed fine until electrics went dead. I checked the main fuse, fine,connector blocks etc, fine, it turned out to be loose earth wire on the battery. The trouble I'm having now is that when the bike starts and the rev's hit 2000+ rpms, it's blowing the main fuse, it doesn't do it when on tickover. I don't know what to look for and I'm supposed to be going away tomorrow morning.  The bike ran fine until now. Thanks Andy

Hi all, does anyone know the bhp for the 400/4? My wife is doing her bike test but when she passes she's restricted to 33bhp for 2yrs.
We're looking for her next bike snd she likes the 400.
Cheers
Andy.

Hi all,
I've a Motad 4-1 which I've put back on my F1 as the BSM system that I bought sat to low to the ground (Looked daft too).
I'm happy using the motad for now, but it sounds too quiet. Is there a louder system still available to buy or is there anything I can do to the motad to increase noise?

The wires coming from the alternator are looking abit suspect, the plastic covering the wire is split and I can see bare copper on some of them.
could someone tell me how to test it to see if it's charging the battery properly?
I've bought myself a multimeter today but I'm not sure how to test it.
Thanks again
Andy

1st time I noticed it the light wasn't that good so I didn't see the covers leaking.  Some of the guys on the US site said not to worry too much about the smoke, it'll settle down after I've put some miles on her. Phew!! panic over. Cheers Andy

I've had another look this aft and it seems to be coming from exhaust tappet covers on 1&4 so that can be easily fixed.
But..... on start up I get quite a bit of white smoke, which seems to thin out as the bike warms up. Is this a dodgy valve oil seal or is it still burning off excess oil from the rebuild?
I used quite a bit when putting it back together and I only did 2 miles when out doing a test run on sunday.
Thanks again
Andy
