I remember that a few years ago there was a track day organised where the Fazers had the whole track for the day but can't remember the name of said track, and now the old sites have been sent to the abys I wondered if any of the older ones on the site can remind me of the track name.
Cheers

| First of many many questions about fixing up the winter project |

Well my winter project the Xs400 has arrived and I am very pleased with it - thanks Rich - loads to do but no horrors. Was worried when Peter handed me the centrestand first - had visions of him handing me it if 30 different bits but that was the only bit that had fallen off.
First question is does anyone know or can anyone recommend a sonic cleaning place to get the carbs done?

Got a little solid fuel stove in the front room. Nice little thing - two settings: meltdown and inferno.
Anyhow, during one of the episodes when is went supernova, the grate that the fuel sits on seems to have a got a touch hotter that perhaps it should and has literally sagged.
I'm not sure if this is cast or wrought iron nor if it can be hit wiv a big hammer until back in shape again.
Anyone know?
Worried that it may shatter/snap if it's the wrong type of iron.
I could put a picture of the problem, but it's currently incandescent so I'll have to wait till it's cool enough to be touched by mere mortals again.

| Front Brake Pads |

Considering i don't use my bike for commuting only a nice ride out now and then what would you recommend as the best Value against performance Pads i should fit.
My discs are ok within Haynes Manual Tolerance as measured with a Caliper.
I will replace the Brake Fluid as i don't know when it was last done and may replace the Seals if they look poor.
Do i really need new Brake lines or should the what look like originals be ok, is there a big improvement or is it just for looks?

| YBR125 |

I have a YBR125 that has stood for a few years since the last owner had a car/bike interface issue. I have rebuilt most of it now ready for my son when he turns 17 in just over a months time but I have a problem with the way it runs.
It will start on the button using the choke, and once it warms up (but not before) it will rev OK but it wont idle or start when off of choke.
Using the theory that it was running OK before the previous owner bent a few bits, I suspect that the carb settigns are OK and there would just be crud in the idle jet from where it has been standing. Unfortunately, despite cleaning the jets out with an air line, it still has the problem.

| Sticky clutch... |

Hi guys,
Quick question: my clutch lever appears to 'stick' when released, not seriously, it just won't release 'evenly' when let out slowly.
The cable is fine, I oiled it again with a light 3in1, and lever is all good, greased the collar and pivot etc.
Could it be something to do with the clutch itself? Maybe the pull lever or pull lever shaft?
Cheers, s
