Hey up,
Is there a meet up planned for this year as I have just been looking at some pics from previous years and looks great.  If there isn't a meet planned, why not!!!!  Would love to see some other fazer machinery and put some faces to some rather ridiculous forum names

Nearly done with fitting r1 front end, however, noticed that the casing of the ignition switch is just touching the steering lock bracket on the frame when turning to left lock!  Has anyone else had this?  Will be easily sorted,but not heard of anyone else mentioning this so just wondering.  It is a complete 98/99 front end.  Will post pics when I can, but any responses would be great.  Cheers.

I posted a query a few weeks ago with regards to my gen 1 hanging on the revs after throttle was closed.  This occurred after fitting a full monty kit.  Riding further up the rev range proved to be a much improved result, however, this 'lean' situation with revs 'hanging' was hugely irritating.  I knew immediately that the problem was down to the pilot circuit running lean but have only just got round to sorting it.
Whilst drilling the pilot air holes a fine swarf found its way into the circuit and partially blocked up on 2 of the carbs.
The solution this evening was of course to 're remove the carbs and drop all of the pilot screws completely out and clear the circuits with carb cleaner.  Bike now sweet!!
The main point of course here is to pass this info on because as far as I can remember there is no mention of removing the pilot screws to effectively clear the circuits before setting mixtures.  I believe most guidelines just tell you to set the mixture screws up and then undertake all of the other operations and then refit the carbs.
Anyway, I hope this 'heads up' saves other budding enthusiasts wasted time on a second removal of the carb bank!!
Cheers.
