Stu

your more then welcome to borrow my gauges if you want them ED i will try and get some vacuum hose for them this weekend then they are ready

i have to buy some new vacuum hoses for them first then we can sort something out

dip stick!!!

mind your only in leeds its not that far could meet sometime and lend you them oh and no there isnt loads of tiny bits inside if vicki can do it im sure you could manage it

nah dyno runs are for every bike they check how it is fuelling across the full rev range and can adjust all the needles and jets to suit for a strip clean and balance i would say no more then about £120 but if you get the carbs stripped cleaned balanced and set up on a dyno it will be a lot cheaper and also a lot cheaper if you do the cleaning and balance yourself shame your not closer i have a set of guges you could have borowed

is this the thanks i get for doing some good work on your bike just you wait

it might be worth looking around too to see if there is a local place that can do you a dyno run and tell you what really is happening well worth the 20 - 30 quid they chatge just for the run a full set up can cost upto £200 though but that is money well spent if you are keeping the bike

you got a after market pipe on ? and when was the last time you changed the air filter ? oh also look for the exhaust blowing anywhere

not for me my bike is still off the road but not for long i have my water pump seals so just need to fit them

nah balancing really only affects the low rev range of a bike to be honest how does it idle ? is the rev counter needle nice and steady or up and down ? might be shite in the carbs

apart from the WD40 bit as it can perish rubber use GT85 Stu

errrr your battery was like it weeks ago remember i have a record of all conversations on msn you know drew

thought he'd fixed it????? I can do thursdays.....thats me day off, however in the longer days of summer I could also do evenings. At the mo it's too cold after 5, I got home at 7 on sun and it took 3 hours to defrost i didnt do anything you twat he's just trying to blame me cos i said his battery is fooked

its still too cold and my bike is off the road and im back at work tomoz

you will with a pair of mole grips either that or snap the thing

you have to give WD40 time to work if the screw is buggered get a new screw and unscrew the bad one with mole grips

its usually where the gear leaver attaches to the foot rest they carrode and need a lube may as well do all the linkage while your at it Stu

no if i wanted your help i would have put "oi little bugger"

squeeky spring un squeeked just waiting on water pump seals now and all will be sorted 8)

i did point out one of these road signs on the way home http://www.joyflowers.net/images/Scotland2000/Elderly-people.jpg fozzy and vik looked as if to say WTF!!!!

is it

errr no separate spring and damper i have a maxton spring already just need to replace the stupid rotary damper that works so well

yeah i recon techno think i should make her buy me a new ohlins rear damper there only £480 thats just for the damper no spring

well after todays ride my bike is now off the road got a coolant leak coming from a weep hole near the water pump so have to strip the water pump and buy 20 quids worth of seals to sort it also got my rear spring squeking a little too will have to remove that and give the slider shaft a good greasing glad i went out now bike will be all ready for summer

well what a bloody good day was good to meet somemore peeps and good to see some OLD faces
