  1. Looking for a mid size 4 stroke commutery type bike. Nearer to Peterborough the better. Sub £2000. Watcha got?
  2. No problem doing this. Have done it in the past without issues.
  3. no need to remove the cable from the bike to do this. nice and easy.

    mapping

    ride, feel, adjust, ride again. if it's doing something you don't like then work out what it is and adjust from there.

    Seat recover

    absolumley. it's a pig of job without.
  6. RD LCs, TDR 250s, 350 YPVSs. Yes all very strange and uncommon. No mention of a top end rebuild in the manuals. Even stranger would be a manual stating "top end rebuild" but not stating what is required.
  7. Nsr's are two stroke, top end rebuilds are part of the service schedule. I have owned many a 2 stroke and the service schedule did not call for a top end rebuiild, hence my question. If it's part of the schedule then the manual will list what's needed eh? ie rings or rings and piston.
  8. you guess the air filter was changed? might be worth checking it. what have you done exhaustwise? gone back to stock? fitted an aftermarket can? adjusting the pilot air screws will not cure worn emulsion tubes - the emulsion tubes would need to be replaced. It's possible that the dynojet needles have worn them prematurely - this was an issue with dj kits at one time. But from your description of your plugs the bike is running lean. was any work done to the bike prior to this problem starting?
  9. If the plug tips were white then the bike is running lean....... they should be a tan colour. Iridium plugs last longer, but they won't cure a carburation problem. If you get engine up to temperature and blip the throttle does the rev counter drop down to a steady idle straight away? Or does it hang up before idling? Or drop down below idle then pick up to idle speed? Has the bike got the stock exhaust and air filter? Has it ever had a dynojet kit or similar fitted?

    Snapped chain

    Have a look at the engine casing around the front sprocket and make sure it's not cracked. Old age, wear and lack of maintenance are the main reasons for chain failure.
  11. who? me or the op i got A* supertech r but im not a fan of those, daytona are next on the list but there a bit over the 100 quid budget in this thread You cannot do better than Daytona. They are the absolute best in protection, but to be fair to the OP budget will be a limitation. A good secondhand pair would be a better buy than a new pair of cheap boots. There are new Daytona Flash and Toper boots on Ebay Germany for less than £100.
  12. Certainly the caliper end of the brakes is the same as the non ABS version, but bleeding an ABS system is a right pain as you have extra hoses and a hydraulic control unit to contend with.
  13. I had Corsa IIIs on my Speed Triple and the sides wore out very quickly.
  14. Possibly, covering the bike has allowed condensation to form which settled in the motor or connector to it. As said, check the fuses. Even on something only 3 years old, damp and electric don't mix.
  15. You now say the plugs were a mess........................... as in sooted up? Could be that the emulsion tubes in the carbs are worn. This will make the bike run very rich at part throttle and idle. It also makes the bike very easy to start without choke when cold.
