Gimme a pm with your number and a time to call you, and I,ll talk you through it.?
-
what Jake said Red Rubber Grease is your friend and YES it is for brakes, just don't put it on the pads!!!
-
If the throttle snaps shut when you let go of it and the revs don't drop back to tickover, it could be sticking slides if it has CV carbs?
-
Remove vacuum pipe from fuel tap, temporaily block it up with some tape or a small bolt. The tap will have shut due to there being no vacuum to open it and you can run the carbs dry, but it may take a while!

Lookin great PC, wish I had your painting skills. Are you painting in a warm kitchen or a cold garage? -
Blue smoke not necessarily failed piston ring. Get yerself some tools or your bike is gonna cost you a lot of money!
-
Take plug(s) out, after trying to start. If they are wet, it's a spark problem. If not wet, it's a fuel problem.
-
Everybody drops a bike at some time mate. The trick is to minimise the damage to you and the bike. Wear good gear with padding and fit crash mushrooms or engine bars to the bike.
-
If you must, use a detergent with water or a rag soaked in petrol. Clean chain thoroughly, dry it and lube with heavy oil. Do not use bleach or grease on your chain. No need to remove chain to clean it and don,t do it with engine running. Good luck.
-
I can make one for you if you are patient and send me a drawing with dimensions?
-
Let us know how you get on and post some before and after pix. You can lower your bike without ruining the handling. Gimme a shout if you need any more help?

Tidying up a not so old bike...
megawatt replied to salsarider79's topic in Old Motorbikes, Projects and Restorations
I have used strips of emery cloth to derust frame tubes and used smooth Hammerite to keep rust at bay. -
Some guy in Sheffield, Tony Foare or similar name. Highly reccomended.
-
Yeah, what Colin said. When you bleed out the old fluid it will be milky and creamy/yellowish. The new fluid will be clear.
-
Dead easy,put it in at master cylinder end and remove it at each caliper end. Only crack open bleed nipples and put a bit of grease around threads where they screw into caliper.Put a clear tube over end of caliper bleed nipple into a small glass jar, when you see clear fluid come out of tube, close nipple and do other one.

Oh , yeah! Forgot Kent stretched that far
-
Thanks Bob, Steve, If you need any help or advice, just ask. Where are you, only about 3/4 hour from me??
-
My DID X ring Gold has done over 25,000 miles and 5 trackdays. I never have to adjust it!!!and it doesn't rust!!!
-
Steve, I'm near Hastings normally , but I'll be at Blue boys cafe, Kippings Cross, A21 tomorrow from 1830. Pop down on yer bike and we'll have a look at it. Or have a ride down to my place in Northiam one day and we'll give yer bike a once over???
-
May get a bit more top speed and acceleration if you fit a one tooth smaller front sprocket mate. Only cost you about £10 if you do it yerself???
-
You get what you pay for with chains mate.
-

-
Why not do it yerself then???
-
It is for handlebars and a pedal! Is the insurance paying???
