You were right, After I replaced 3 seals, it still leaked, once I replaced the stanchion it is sorted.

El__burro:
In regards of the test ride, the bike struggles when I open the second half of the throttle.
Below is one of the plugs I checked this morning.
What shall i look for?



Thanks

Greebo:
That plug looks like it fouled up mate, its running far too rich, the plugs should be a greyish to light brown, if dark brown, or black like it is now I would sling them get a new set but before fitting them weaken the mixture, because its running far too rich try one full turn on the mixture screws & give it another run

K2-K6:
As above, the plug is showing far too rich a mixture compared to what it should look like as I've always worked toward pale milk chocolate colour as being close to correct mixture.

There is a big qualifier to that though, the engine should be warmed to normal operating temperature and then you'd get it pulling hard in something like third gear and fairly well up into the Rev range I.e. full throttle, then cut the motor and coast to a stop. Only then pull their plugs and check the colour to see what the main jets are letting the mixture run at. Once you get the main jets right you can fine tune with the needle position and air screws to fit the lower regions around that.

Tried that on my T250, unfortunately the ignition key is below the petrol tank (and no engine kill switch fitted), damn near crashed trying to reach the key! 😀
