if you dont mind splashing the cash, you might want to think about changing the seat altogether?

topsellerie do one which goes up the tank more at the front, but its a pricey solution:

Jeez Mick, you could fall in that paint and drown!

cheers buddy. just a shame the engine lets the bike down. I must respray it soon I think. starting to do my swede in now (more than a tad OCD )

I assume you are hosting the images on here and not on an image hosting site like photobucket etc?

you should try that. its a little more faff, but it lets me upload multiple files, and it takes some of the load of the server on here

Have you tried clearing your internet cache and reuploading the images again? I assume the images have overloaded the cache on your computer, which might explain how it doesnt work on one PC, but does the other (not in your case though Nick, Im referring to red98 there of course)

steam cleaner would be ideal, cheap handheld ones are available now and clean well.

alternatively, dry cleaning may be a viable option (depending on the style etc)

watch out for the material left behind when you DO remove the thermal lining!!

I've got a pair of cheap textile trousers and jacket, which are OK (especially in the winter), however, in the summer when you take the thermal lining out,  and only have boxers/shorts on the bottom underneath and a tshirt on top. where the trousers touch bare skin i.e. bottoms of legs and forearms, the material is that sort of shiny waterproof stuff, and it draws the sweat right out of you - its terrible.

Its so bad that putting a longsleeve T shirt on instead of short sleeved makes it much cooler as this material isnt touching the skin (im sure you know the stuff im talking about).

So if your in a shop looking, get that thermal lining out and have a feel

yes. fitted those clear resistors, and there was still very slight bouncing, but it was much removed from that video.

Its worthy of  note to those considering this that the Philips screwdriver is indeed a #2, and needs to be at least about 200mm, it also needs to have a fairly low profile shank, as I tried with a magnetic snap on one with variable heads, and that wouldnt fit down the gap!

I also tried it with a halfords pro screwdriver, which went down ok, but was so tight in the gaps that i couldnt get the angle required to get onto the screw correctly (which risks rounding it). in the end it was an el cheapo screwriver ive had for about 5-6 years which has a very narrow shank which turned out to be the perfect tool for the job, typical!

On the up-side, the bike seems much better now, it is revving much more responsively and smoothly all the way through the revs, the clutch action seems slightly smoother (that may be in the mind though?).

The idle is still very slightly lumpy, so I think I will change the plugs/oil filter/air filter/oil, and then balance the cars again, this should solve my issues I would have thought, I need to do it anyway as im not sure when it was last done.

Thanks everyone for their help, a good purchase is the carbtune, its a nice bit of kit

erm... should it be this bouncy? how are you supposed to balance this?!? :

...Or have I a problem somewhere?

If i'm not working/busy on the arranged date (and if i can find where you guys are meeting ), I would like to pop along if thats ok, put some faces to names?

 A lot of people off jeremy kyle live near me, does that count?? they are all cunts as well.

No famous people I dont think, never seen any anyway, river city is filmed about half a mile from my house though, but none of the "stars" live here, because I live in a shithole

carbtune now ordered, so ill get this sorted in the next week or so hopefully. anyone got a link to where i can get a suitable T25 for the TPS, just in case i need it (might as well order one for the few quid it will be)?

can the 2 line system be fitted to the OEM reservoir then, or do you need to modify it somehow?
