Mr T your life is eventful but good see your OK

Its that time of year where my local council up north grit which is fine for the cold mornings but it ends up as grease especially if the suns been out and has melted the ice before the grit has done its work.

Ride safe

Just started riding in the 80's and on a little YB100. Was at a round about waiting to join it. I had just stood up feet on the ground and bang. Bike shot across into traffic I rolled on the floor in agony where to two rear indicators slapped my hamstrings. Never found out who did it as they  This was in broad daylight around 0800 as I was on my way to work but ended up in A&E.

Coolant checked, Oxford grips wired to ignition, rear calliper stripped and is now silent. went for a blast in the Peak via snake pass. Lots of leafs on road be careful out there.

Ride Safe

Beautiful but now you have had your 30 seconds of fun and the misses the has just had the worst pain not known to man while doing all the hard work. You will be maid to pay the rest of your life with "pain, you do not know the meaning of pain" and "you only have man flu" You will be reminded that as a man you are expected to be modern.

I is still trying to figure out what is actually expected of me as a modern dad.

Ok. Do I have to fully remove the tank or can I get away with just hinging and proping up. I am also replacing the air filter

Air filter is tank off.
You will need fuel to warm the engine for the Radflush to work, unless you just take the bike for a spin instead.

I did not take the tank off for air filter but had to remove side pannels for access to two nipples that the rubber water cover is secured by. Noggy do I need to worry about something.

Did mine yesterday and did as noggy with washer/seal. I bought 15L of Halfords distilled water. Empted the coolant out, added flush and water then ran for 10min idling my fan kicked in. Then left to cool for 10 min.

I left the radiator filler cap on and took out drain bolt. If system is air tight no or little fluid will flow out until the filler cap is off. If alone place tub at a distance to collect coolant. If you have a mate I gave him funnel to put into bottle to catch fluid. After all was out and water went clear I simply flusher the rad with rest of water.

While on centre stand and after adding new coolant run the bike in first. Put bike onto wheels and rock back and forth and lean side to side. Back onto stand check coolant level.

Yes they do its around £30

Fixed the stuttering 

Yesterday I put the bike back together and fired her up with petrol pissing out all over the place from the carbs. This was after putting in a new K&N air filter. The bike had been run for 10 mins with rad flush in the coolant system with no signs of a leak. I then drained and flushed with 15L of distilled water. There were fine black particular matter floating in the water that eventually ran clear. It took me and my bro an hour to strip carbs off as I had a good idea why petrol was pissing out of the float bowls. It was the new gaskets so I simply put the old ones back on that did the job.

But this is what happened when taking out the carbs

Did I say simple?

So eventually got the clip off put old gaskets back on but use (sparingly) rubber grease to hold them in place and refit. I did prior to this use carb cleaners for cleaning the carbs  and I used a guitar string to ensure the fine holes were clear. Then I soaked all metal removable parts in carb cleaner for 30 mins.

So the cabs are back on the bike and home for a beer.

Got a call this afternoon from numb nuts and he says bike still fucked as he took it out as crash test dummy. I pointed out the obvious that the clip was missing and cause a vacum problem. I went round took the bike out and bloody hell the difference is amazing even with out a clip fitted so off the a spars shop and clip fitted and I is a really happy  owner.

The stutter is no more.
