Are you now faffing about at Eureka, as is tradition?

Ohhh look the one time I'm not there and he successfully makes it to Liechtenstein, pffff

Ride to the Cinderella club & got wet
This is the one at Hoar park right? I'd assumed it was cancelled due to a certain viral event but if it's on I might actually give it a go, I never could before due to being of working age but lovely furlough stops that being an issue!

Yes, thanks.
Still think I will stick with the manufacturers recommended torque settings, using a torque wrench. Hence the original question
Just bear in mind that those torque figures are meant for brand new and perfectly clean threads unless specified otherwise. That is, no your dirty rear axle and used nut doesn't need the book spec and no the used sump plug, non-OEM washer and aluminium threads now covered in oil also doesn't need the book spec. It just needs doing up enough so it won't come undone.
I use a 5-25Nm torque wrench more than a big one because the bolts for cam caps, coated in fresh oil like the book says, need to be right. Great big rusty/greasy fasteners on the chassis aren't nearly as picky.

It worked for about 30 mins and then went to black again, I'll go back round the new caps with the iron again just in case there's a bad joint but they all look fine to me.
Little update - poked around it with a multimeter, everything seemed fine. Fuses all intact, coils all fine, diodes seem to resist one way more than the other, couldn't figure it. Re-melted all the new joints, added some solder on top of a trace that was bare copper in one corner but appeared to conduct just fine, re-melted a connector pin that didn't look too clever, put it back together again and it didn't work. Turned it off and on again a few times and now it works!? Bloody electronics. I look forward to it failing just when I really don't want it to..

Have you tried it since you did this? Did it make any difference? There is talk of the same mod all over the TRX forum but I can't help but think that by the time it's got all the way to being a spark at the plug it maybe just doesn't matter.. Plus I don't want to chop any wires.

Annoyingly, while filling in a previously empty spot, the via came out so I had to do a little super professional rework:

Get the fire extinguisher ready (I don't have one..) and test..

They're out of an early LCD monitor that I quite like. Do you ever feel like your whole life is spent fixing old shit that probably shouldn't even get fixed? It worked for about 30 mins and then went to black again, I'll go back round the new caps with the iron again just in case there's a bad joint but they all look fine to me.
Wait what forum is this again?

Please, it's been done..

I'm pretty sure my MC26 CB250 never had the heater, just a cap over where it should be. Ridden through all conditions that the UK could throw at it and never suffered carb icing, I never noticed the lack of heater in any way.

a place called Nauders, where once upon a time I was called a Hooligan by a load of pissed up Austrian football fans.
Them being drunk doesn't stop it from being true
Plus they were a good bunch of lads who knew about Leicester City before they won some sort of football league and became famous!Needs more kebab pics though.

When I was getting the rust off the CB250 (project still pending) a wire brush wasn't really enough, if you have a flap wheel to hand for the particularly crusty bits it'll be useful.

Indeed, at the risk of having to argue with people who don't really understand how a sealed chain works, oiling a chain is mostly about making sure there is a cushion between the rollers and the sprocket - a large amount of "chain stretch" is actually caused by wear on the sprockets that effectively make the sprocket smaller. Fit some new sprockets to a "worn" chain and you'll be amazed at how far forward the chain adjusters will be.
This coating to protect the sprockets from the chain makes perfect sense but I do doubt it'll be any good. Maybe in another 10 years eh?

Carefullll!! Maybe just walk it on the pavement past the coaches

Non-EU have to demonstrate an income of around €30K a year plus have private health insurance. Per person.
It'll be a stretch but I think I could do it for that. By the way the 6 bed mansion can be a cave house if it helps you out, all I ask is for all services to be connected and at least 50mbps Internet (you probably know it better as 50,000,000 baud).
No......if you turn your personal interest/hobby into work then you've lost the only outlet that you've got Ian.Yes it's not going to be easy but a worldwide recession is no time to be enjoying yourself, have to take the work where you can get it..

Have you read the reviews in that link ? Bloody awful stuff by most accounts .
Hmm yes, certainly "mixed"
But some googling does suggest that it might be people not reading the instructions on the can, the complaints do seem to echo those in the reviews. I also see this Simoniz stuff gets some awful reviews too, can so many people really be getting it wrong? It does actually seem possible!The Simoniz can be had from Euro Car Parts too which makes it a very reasonable price though its petrol resistance seems up for debate. ECP do also sell some specifically petrol resistant lacquer but that product is completely unknown/untested.

If you desperately need someone to lead these little trips out in exchange for decent full time pay, food and private lodgings then I reluctantly offer my services. I might even manage to tighten the chain sometimes to save you some money on the servicing costs

I'm ok using Rattle Cans but I can't seem to find a suitable Clear Coat that is petrol resistant .
C'mon bob it's easy..
Also, just because I'm posting, I wouldn't bother taking the barrels off. It picks up well from idle, the rattles go away, you don't seem to be choking on smoke.. There can't be much wrong with that!

The omelette for breakfast just ain't right..

Thanks you guys
Sadly I'm now as old as smallfrowne so can't make fun of him any more..Now will someone make a thread for [mention]Gerontious[/mention]? Otherwise he might get grumpy that I got one and not him (it's happened before!!).

Are you sure it doesn't just need some gentle percussive persuasion?
