This happened to me literally a couple of weeks ago in a downpour.. never happened before and it's been wetter. Just bad luck and water had gotten in somewhere. Someone suggested carbs as they are so exposed. But it's fine now it's dried out.
-
If I can't see my face it ain't finished.. its never been finished lol
-
Can't take it off the wheel yet as I have no stand.. it was very very very filthy. I ride in all weather and they love a bit of gritting down my way, cheaper than fitting the pot holes. Since the last clean however it's staying clean looking for longer.
-
I use that.. use a whole can easily on a grimey chain, but the crap literally drips off.
-
So... I had all these slip issues. I loosened my sprocket cover yesterday to have a look. But didn't tighten it up as tight as before...... as if by magic no slip. Clearly he man strength has caused some kind of issue there. Rattles a bit now which is concerning.
-
Belt drive sounds bloody good...
-
I think this is what I'm now thinking.. its because quite noisy in that area when applying throttle. Have to be in enclosed spaces riding to actually hear it.
-
Hoping someone picks this up... could problems or ware in the cam chain or tensioning cause slip???
-
My gasket from them was pretty big and didn't fit all the way in.
-
Tonnes of flyscreen out there that fit the larger front light unit you have. You could bolt a universal one on then just seal up the instruments.
-
I'm assuming it still actually works?
-
Damage from sitting position ain't to bad.. you could live with that. The rear I'd look to bodge/custom something for that to cover. Maybe a nice square of plastic or mod a flyscreen to fit. Then you'd not even see it. Must be really frustrating buddy but persevere!
-
The reset option may be needed anyway as it idles pretty roughly at points and that's following changes to plugs, oil, filters and a fuel line cleaner. No idea when them carbs would have been stripped last. Knowing then I may have to replace the tiny bits it'll need rebalancing then wouldn't it. Surely that then would counter. It's long term at the moment anyway and I'm looking at lots of different things to throw money at. Doing my bit for the economy!

Sounds like you are having less than luck. Shame your last memory's of the bandit will be tainted.
-
You are not working for them are yo? I'll have a sniff around ebay for these products (not literally though). Defo want you to try it before I buy it lol. But at 20 I might take the leap. At least if you buy something from bnq you have someone to go and scream at if it burns a whole through you pavement..... Though the weakness of the shelf bought stuff makes that fairly unlikely. This however... looks capable. Which makes me edgy.

This is what am talking about! Please link me... I know garages that will hook it up http://m.ebay.com/itm/381130344128?_mwBanner=1 Hope this helps. Not much info given. Go forth guinea pig!!

Everytime I encounter your red writing it makes my eyes go all weird and the screen looks strange. Is this your desired intention? Also... guilty as charged with staring at things when I should be looking forward. It's shop windows that show my bike that get me.

171286276056 is the item number... ebc clutch and spring set with gasket 63 odd quid.
-
Naa they came in a dark blue bag which matched the ebc plate boxing... let me find a link now.
-
I reckon I've just got some freak bandit that's possessed and insanely powerful. Like that car Lucy.... without the killing.
-
It's the ebc heavy duty springs that are sold with a ebc friction plate set. Will link when I escape work.
-
I most definitely would take you up on that offer.. it'd have to be in the near future mind as I currently work the weekends. I can't see how it'd stick though as the clutch is fully engaged prior to the slippage. Guys at orwells who I use pretty much said it's fine.. its just old. I know after a ride to you there would he no slippage by the time I got there lol. People will start thinking I'm bat shit.
-
Nah I have tried it, they changed the chemical structure as it was too strong, now it won't even strip fleas off a dogs bo**ocks. I heard aircraft stripper is good on a blog today... Anyone used this? I found a big ol 5 litre tin on ebay which states trade and automotive use only. They also seemed reluctant to sell me it which kinda indicates it might be pretty hardcore. I'll link it when I get home. Tin looked ominous which means it'll probably be super intense.
