Ok bike booked in, garage phoned, new set of plugs going in and the carb is being ultrasonically cleaned (do they get sonic the hedgehog round for that) anyway it should be ready for me to pick up tomorrow and im hoping it will run as sweet as a nut thanks for everyones help in the forum and im sure you will be hearing from me again with other bike and none bike related troubles. You are all such a helpful bunch of Foccers i might even manage to get out on a ride out with a few of you in the future, i live in Gods own County so am never too far from a good ride

I don't own a carb tune unfortunately, and I don't want to start cutting stuff (ht leads etc) in case I make a complete hash of it. I'm going to take it to a local garage tomorrow who I have used multiple times before so trust them. What I will do is say it may simply be a dud plug or lead cap, if it isn't either of those its likely to be something carb related such as blocked jet etc. If it is carb related I might ask them to clean the carbs out and balance for me at same time I need this focking bike running sweet as a but for two weeks time as it will then become my only means of transport for my daily commute in my new job. If the garage can't sort it then I may need to call upon my experienced foccers to wither come to my aid in West Yorkshire or I can ride to someone as long as it isn't too far away and compensate via means of beer, pub lunch out and beer or good old cash and I will hopefully learn a thing or two in the process as well

I read somewhere if it read 3k it was a TPS fault?? not sure where, i hear 0 and 10k meant it needed adjusting and 5k was ok. As for the photos they are shocking, not sure what was going on there hahah.

Hi all I have the following for sale

www.urbanrider.co.uk/tucano-urbano-easy-on-bar-muffs-r363-with-bar-end-weight.html

I paid £45 for them delivered last week and used them on two rides. They work perfectly  and do the job, I just cannot get on with them. First £25 gets them.

P.s please all keep your mucky pics off this post or I will end up in the naughty corner again

OK so I'm working through shit within my technical capabilities so in the realms of this going to the garage soon I thought I will at least take a look at the TPS, being as I haven't had much luck so far I was full expecting a 3000 reading, much to my relief I got a 10000, pheeeeeew. So I have at least managed to sort that focking problem myself. As per usual pics attached albeit shit ones but they shiw the 10000 and 5000 readings just about

OK the STP is on offer at halfords, I have a full tank of fuel, should I stick the full bottle in?

Well just been out for a 30 min ride, and same still happening, noticeable a lot more when bike first starts however bike still seemed hesitant throughout the ride. When I got home I quickly felt the headers and the first was although warm was nowhere near as hit as the rest. I'm gonna have to bite the bullet I think and get it to the garage for new plugs and a carb balance as the last bloke I bought it off had clearly left the poor thing sat there for months on end without rising it.

Hey foccers, need a little advice, started the bike and its running lumpy as shit (sounds like its only running on 3 cylinders) once warmed up it runs OK and sounds OK. However only 3 of the four header pipes seem to be getting hot. The one on the right in the picture doesn't get anywhere near as hot. Would a new set of plugs sort this?

As much as i like Guy Martin, i've read both his books and he has always spouted on about the TV career very much being secondary to his motorbike racing. That being said i have seen him on telly a lot more than i have seen him on the track lately. I dont think he will do anything at the TT to be honest, i know in the past he has been plagued with bad bikes/crashes etc but Dunlop, Hutchinson and a whole raft of others will be well in front for a podium finish before Martin will.

thought the bag was light

OK, well you know the old saying, if it ain't broke don't fix it. I now have the 12mm nut so I will periodically check the sprocket nut and if its knackered I will replace with the 12mm. Am I correct in thinking the nut works its way loose as opposed to a sudden catastrophic failure?

Welcome gundog, let's see a pic of the new ride

I'm sure I saw someone asking after one,cthis seems decent for price
