Some Minor Issues to Sort

Ted, you're costing me money again!  ;D

I like that solution. Wide enough to give some stability. Ordered.

I did think about carving frame shaped grooves in a 4'x2', but it would still be unstable on my jack.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Another member here posted a picture on an early post of mine so I bought one. Great bit of kit.

The listing photo is a bit misleading as it shows a bike with both wheels off the ground - that looks iffy to me - I strap the rear wheel down whilst on the center stand then use the scissor jack.

I warmed the bike up and adjusted the air screws. It seems to run best on 1/4 to 3/4 out. 1/4 on the two carbs I had to fettle, 3/4 on the other two. So it seems there is a reduction in air seal, but they rev up fine and drop back to idle swiftly. The idle was stable at 1200rpm,  albeit still with a bit of chain noise.  I think I've got away with it on the carbs.

Front wheel check will be at the weekend, after delivery of my new bike jack. I noticed some muck in the left hand fork oil, when I drained it. I'm wondering if there may just be an accumulation of crud that side, which affects the damping action? Has anyone ever flushed a fork out to clean it, without dismantling it, is that possible?

Just take them apart, it's only one bolt at the bottom to undo to get them apart,you've undone everything else so that's all that holds them together. Just make sure that you loosen the bottom bolt when the forks are on the bike with the tops on to stop the internals spinning on the holder on the inside, they should just pull apart then.  It's a dead easyprocess and at least you'll be a
ble to get all the crap out properly.

Martin6:
Is there enough room to slide the innards out from the bottom, without taking the fork off the yoke?
