Cheers for checking guys :-)
One less thing to worry about

Ah, thanks for that.
I've tried liking online but couldn't find a break down of the components.
It just looked like something was missing or worn away.
Next question is where do I get the bits to put it right? And how big a job is it??

thanks for that.
Finally getting all the little kinks ironed out and would of been gutted if it would of been something serious.
i ride all year round, but only really commuting, maybe now the weathers starting to pick up i might take it further a field.
although i do have my eye on a 2002 fox eye :-)

yep it's well documented on here now and always this time of year, small journeys, not enough thrashings, oil emulsifying.

nowt to worry about, just give it a good old blast and if it was me id probably change the oil first and then make sure you give the bike a good run now and then.

there's a recent post on this exact question within the last week im sure of it, with a similar pic if it gives you more peace of mind to see it.

Ah thanks,
I normally go through and read all the posts on here and must of missed that one.
I just use my bike for commuting and thats about it, will look at changing the oil and taking for a good run.

 

And stop biting your finger nails fella..

Lol, i am :-) you should of seen em last week lol

Hey silverlegacy is the Double 'm' still going ? my first house was at the top of Sharon way (traff) end . nice looking bike to thunderpantz  I'm still local so might see you both around

Not sure about the double 'm' it sounds familiar but can't remember where it was.
I grew up on Sharon way.
Nice to know there's a couple of locals incase I need any advice.

pretty much since i had the bike? which was around July time last year.
I put up with it for a while but then started looking on here for a cure for it.
I tried to iron out the little niggly things like the headlight buzz and had it serviced and new chain and stuff on there.
I can live with it as i only use it to daily commute to work and roads are pretty slow where i live and only 7 mile commute through town (30) roads and a bit of a 50 main road, so if i just keep the revs down and change up early its ok, but i should be able to ride the bike like its supposed to and use the extra power if i need to with out it feeling like somethings wrong with the bike.
Like i said before i am probably doing a terrible job of describing the noise/buzzing and obviously makes it hard for people to help me diagnose the fault.
When it was dyno'd all the guy said was its running lean at 6-7k and could do with being jetted, but as there a dyno jet dealer i guess this might just be a ploy to make money and several people on here have commented saying that its not done there bike much good.
I keep going through different posts on here and a few point towards different things, so trying to check as much as i can but trying to take every ones advice on board and see if i can get it sorted.

carb rubbers not leaking, although not cleaning carbs yet as might be a bit beyond me to be honest.

I am talking about the diaphragms inside the carbs, not the inlet rubbers.

well not had carbs apart so cant check this, might have a look in the haynes manual see how big a job it is, im sure its not going to hurt to at least look and clean that carbs, as could obviously tick a few things off the list in one go.

If I can work out that issue between 6-7 k then hopefully it will give me an incentive to ride it more for fun rather than just commute, it's one of the only bikes I've owned I've not used of a weekend for rides out.
Might look further into this regulator thing?
I did notice something with the lights and lights on the clocks getting slightly dimmer when it was still dark around 7am, probably more so the lights on the clocks, although it has got an extra temp gauge and a analogue clock fitted to it drawing power? although doubt these are high usage items?

Bike been dynod so definitely not restricted.
Nice I get the bike up to 6k it started to feel strained and a bit vibey. So tried to keep it below and just shift up as I hit 6k . Not ideal but bike runs really smooth that way, just not overly nippy.
After reading stories of people getting there's jetted and either being worse or doing nothing I don't think I want to spend £300 getting it sorted.
So just trying to see what else I can do, wanted a new exhaust but heard it could lean the bike out even more which might be bad news.
Might try adjusting carb needles one notch and see if it makes any difference?

Hi,
It's more to do with the air to fuel.
On the bottom graph it shows the lean patch at 6-7k rpm.
That's what I feel on the road, so matches perfectly with the feeling I get, although once you push past it, it improves. Not that I get much chance to thrash it about.
Just thought that maybe adjusting the needles might help push that lean patch a little higher up the Rev range .

Now sold.

Thanks punkstig.
Luckily it's not like that in the engine.
