I had a naked bike and my trophy for a whilst my lid was quite on one and noisey as on the other. by adding a screen the wind comes from a different angle on to your lid and can make a significant difference. on one helmet I resolved this by adding a little foam where the visor mechanism was. The other thought is it because without the wind pressure the noise appears worse. I never thought of that....it was definitely quieter before the screen, which would make sense with angle of attack from the wind. I might experiment with angles of the screen. A mate of mine has the same got air 2; and is about to out a screen on his, will be interesting to see if he has the same. 1 Quote

linuxrob Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Yesterday had a good day out. Straight home from work and got the Z500 out and down to Strawberry Fields Cafe just south of York to meet up with fell VJMC members. Then on to Squires for chat to a few other members and back home via the A1. 140 miles of fun. Just time for a quick cuppa, snooze and back to work. 4 Quote

Dare I venture to suggest that the carbs might need balancing ? Quote

Thanks Bob Those coloured pipes Bob............... Well That Motad was sourced from eBay in 2005. The Motad Neta (black chrome with Gold can bought 1990) I had was starting to look a bit tatty. This one was advertised as discoloured from a Z550 and at £25.00 i snapped his hand off. They are only single skinned anyway so will colour up. I did think that the bike it was from may have had a ign timing problem with 1 -4 more blue than 2-3. Mine is set fine, Piranha unit working well, tappets set bang in the centre of the spec and jetting perfect, I balance the carbs last year and here is the vid to prove it!

Bianco2564 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Just love the under seat capacity on the Silverwing. Carried home from work a Mini cylinder head, ice cream tub with the valves in and the blue box is some valve seat cutters. And there was room to spare. 1 Quote

It will need more than that, just about every panel is held on with cable ties, it's leaking oil faster than you can drink a cup of tea, the clutch lever is so bent and twisted it needs two hands to move it, the tyres are well we won't go there, and that's just from a quick look around it. 1 Quote
dynax Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Thinking about it it will probably need a top end rebuild, it has spark has fuel, but when it turns over it seems to lack compression, could be the valves or even the cam chain I will take the top end off and have a look sometime tomorrow. Quote
ShouldKnowBetter Posted June 5, 2021 Posted June 5, 2021 Sold it. Then replaced it with a shiny new one Bye bye to the Bonnie (it’s been nice, but time for something different) and hello to the Triple. Dealer fitted heated grips, fly screen and tail tidy. Then rode home in the pissing rain 9 Quote
