That was Martin wielding the grinder mate, I'll bring my drill and extension lead this time as well

Thanks again Ian.

Mine too mate . Please don't forget my battery.

Don't blame me, Mr Bus shelter!!!

I'll be in the car again next weekend, so will be bringing my tools again. Does anybody need any work doing on their bike or need showing how to do any maintenance jobs?

I doubt it ! It would have to go in the filler cap or where the fuel tap screws in and be intrinsically safe!!!

A GSX1100 is an air cooled motor mate. Yours is oil cooled. More likely a GSXR1100 manual would do?

Screws on my Bandit were 3 or 4 mm square? Not slotted.

Perhaps it was warmer today than yesterday?

A bike will start with the right fuel, the right ignition timing and spark and the right compression. Check how much compression it has. Check for a good blue spark. Check ignition is firing at the right time. Replace fuel with fresh and make sure no water, rust, crud in tank. Check fuel filter inside tank is not blocked. this is all basic mate. Buy a workshop manual?

Heard bad things about Goldfren!!! Buy OEM or Carbone Lorraines. Halfords or Hein Gerricke oil and filters. NGK standard plugs not Iridium.

Cheers mate, thought it was a GSX air cooled motor , not a GSXR oil cooled. Dunno about the internals on GSXRs

I would put non ferrous bits in the tank , but I doubt you will dislodge all the rust. Not sure what good the oxalic acid will do? I have a 18 month since last run Blade engine. I took plugs out, sprayed 3in1 in , left 24hrs, turned engine over with nut on end of crank about 4 times. Spayed more 3in1 or WD40 in, left 24 hrs, turned over by hand again and resprayed. Left 24 hrs then spun engine with starter motor, plugs out, more 3in1, 24hrs, more spinning. Plugs back in and I fired it up. If that engine is an air cooled TSCC engine, I have stripped and rebuilt them a few times! http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/My%20Bike%20pix/File0004-1.jpg

Me n OhJay hope to be there late Friday afternoon . Pitch tents and go for a bimble ?

There's loadsa bikers down here, he just hasn't found em yet. Social meet at the Blue Boys cafe, Kippings cross, end of A21 Tunbridge Wells bypass, July 4th after 1900 till 2200ish. Be there, bike or car, say hello. I'm the short , fat Northerner, with a grey Fireblade Streetfighter. http://goo.gl/maps/YHWq About 25 mins from Sevenoaks? http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r240/megawattblade/My%20Bike%20pix/01042010254-1-1.jpg

Loads of bikes at Wrotham hill on Tuesday or Wednesday nights. We don't meet in Hastings, we meet at 1066 cafe at Robertsbridge and Blue Boys cafe at Kippings Cross

It would take me just over 30 mins to cover 40 miles mate. Some of our members ride for over 60mins to social meets and rideout start points! Perhaps you need to try harder or you will remain a Billy Nomates.!!!

I am near Hastings mate. In a local biker forum called southeastcountiesbikers. We meet regularly down here. Get yerself down the A21 and come and meet up ?

Been to Normandy a few times, never found any straight roads ?

Will load em up as soon as I can mate. Fantastic area.for bikes and fairly undiscovered.

Just got back from Eiffel mountains. No straight roads, just bends and lotsa hairpins. Fabulous area. And it was dry and hot!

Well we left Northiam for Dover in the heavy rain. It eased off as we boarded the ferry and was nearly dry in Calais. Had the ten quid rip off breakfast on the boat. Made good time on the E42 toward liege and turns off at Huy. Game on, lovely bendy roads all the way to Moulin du ruy.

Just loaded the bike up with panniers and tankbag. Leaving Dover with 3 mates at 0730 for a 250 mile ride to a little place near Spa Francorchamps. 5 nights B n B n Evening meal for about £220. Gonna be visiting the race circuit and loadsa 2nd world war museums . There's a tank in every village in the Ardennes, thanks to the Battle of the Bulge! Some fantastic roads in the area as well!!! Pix n write after I get back on 11th June:D:D:D

Got any pix of the end of your can mate?
