Hi After looking at all the other lists on this subject
I have a question, I have just ordered another switch, would drilling a pilot hole in the underside help to drain out moisture and filling it with WD40? What about wrapping it in cling film?
Are there any other suggestions or mods ?
Thanks

My bike is running like a bag of s##te At normal speeds it is ok but at motorway speeds the engine is like it is stuttering no power power even drops off you start off with a full fuel tank and it drops down fast, when you open it there is a fair vacuum
at the moment I am tuning in the carbs and building a balancing tool, to check the balancing all my local garages are not interested in looking at it
What do I need to look at and do???
Thanks you can tell a happy biker by the flies in his teeth

Silk inner gloves do work last year I bought a pair of armadillo gloves which help with the cold as to getting wet, sorry but no idea as I always end up with wet hands when it is raining this year for the first time ever, I am trying heated gris.
good luck in the hunt I would be interested to find out how to keep dry hands

Hi Is there anyone in the Manchester area that can set the carbs up, or know of a garage that can, cheaply As far as I know they are balanced, just need the fuel mixture setting Thanks

« on: 13 September 2014, 12:54:29 am »
fuel filter, air filter both ok fuel tap ok all pipes ok I did look at 1 of the plugs and it was ok, could not get the second one out so gave up
I only started all this work cause it was running bad and it is still the same
So I will try to see if rubbers are leaking and if arcing from plug caps
Any more suggestions?

Fuel filter is ok I will try the water to see if they are leaking. A biker I met today said it might be the ignition coils

Hi I am after some help My bike is running on kangaroo juice I have cleaned out tank, cleaned carbs, oil and filter change.
The symptoms and motorway cruising speed it is stuttering, at fast acceleration there is no power and it even slows down.
I have been told it could be my carb rubbers that are leaking as they are cracked,
Could this be the problem, I was going to try sealing them and wrapping tape round them, alternatively new ones are £70. I have been looking at other topics on the forum but still need help
Any advice
Thanks Kelvin
