It's my rear brake

A bit taken aback, I've never seen this before. Is there any advantage with this set up?
It works for me,

As my right ankle doesn't

If you fancy a trip north,

Bauhous near Abergavenny, or even the Ocean bus station cafe in Abergavenny

Or Gloucestershire on Wednesday evenings

Check the schedule

  the Chinese VM20 carb arrived,I odered it incase the original got damaged,

  it doesn't look to bad,obviously would need a mod for the choke,drill out an insert brass tube,

  I would be using the original jets and brass ware,

  useful safety net for £25 or so,

  I have had the original cleaned in a sonic bath,assembly to follow,
a few pics of the chinese carb,

 BTW,I notice they do replacement pertol tapes for the 500 etc,

The screws that have alloy washers are holding the rocker cover on,

Maybe more,

For years I have used Avons,now got Bridgestone

I run 27psi/1,8 front

33psi/2.3 rear

Softer it feels slow,and heavy handling

Harder it feels skittish, and very light steering, but not secure, can't feel any grip,nervous


With jacket on,I guess my weight is about 90kg,

You are allowed to vary the tp

Go with what you feel happy with

A couple of hours pottering in the garage,

Carb almost sorted, float pivot released

Only issue now is new gaskets, oh,and one of vents is still blocked,

Possible sonic cleaning will sort that,

Replaced the oil feed pipe without having to remove the clutch cover,

On PDI,the steering damper was wrongly assembled, also the throttle cable was routed wrongly, both sorted,

When the bike runs, the charging light stays on, it has a combined dynamo/starter,the starter works ok,it has been suggested I check the brushes, and also the regulator

So been working on that
