Been reading that owners "top up " their engine oil between recommended oil changes. I've never topped mine up in between changes, didn't think I had to.I could never see my oil level in the engine cover window, even when it had it's last service by the garage in September, the window seems too discolored to tell. I watched them change the oil and filter though so I know it was done. The oil light has never come on. The bike runs fine. Should I be worried about topping it up?

I am thinking about keeping my bike kit in the garage.
It is one of those precast concrete ones and what concerns me is condensation and damp.
Does anyone else keep their kit in a garage and if so what do you store it in?
Bear in mind I am a Scot living in Yorkshire, being careful with my money is not a trait it is a vocation.

Recommendations for new chain and sprocket please standard gearing.

Hello. My bike built pressure to the tank. I removed the tank and blew air to all the hoses. Now it doesn't build pressure anymore to the tank but now its dropping gas from the tank breather hose. So there are two breather hoses and one goes to tank cap. Where that other hose goes? How it can drop gasoline from there?

As above ive noticed a high pitched whining sound on the mororway (not really around town) in time with the engine speed, it shuts off if i chop the throttle or pull the clutch in? I have recently put the baffle back in the end can so im hoping its just normal engine noise that im not used to hearing as apose to gearbox or Camchain ?

Getting round to final suspension adjustments...went to see how many clicks the little blue (low speed adjustment?)was out.....got long allen key to adjust.. it went right about 10 clicks and stopped..great ..then i went left and got to 30 and it kept going,so I stopped ..and tried to go right.. but it won't go tight again ..just keeps going round.
Am I focced ??
Cheers

Hi everyone,


A while ago I rebuilt my carb, since it was overflowing when engine was off (leaking into cylinder) and overflowing when running idle. As expected some of the rubbers were shot.

I used this set: http://www.ebay.de/itm/KR-Vergaser-Repar...2156361779


Since then, the carb is not leaking anymore, everything seemed fine.
However, now the engine hesitates between 2000 and 5000 rpm, especially near the 4000 rpm range. I've set the pilot screws as listed in the manual to 2 turns out.
But I remember when overhauling the carb, the screws were out less than 2 turns (rather 1 or 1.5).


In high rpm's or at high trottle positions everything runs great.
Things I've checked/done so far:
-checked the condition of the TPS (throttle sensor position) goes nicely to 5000 rpm, so it's OK
-replaced the spark plugs
-checked and rechecked the pilot screw settings (2 turns out)
-spraying water on the exhaust manifold when idling: they seem to be all quite at the same temperature
-reduce the pilot screw turns out (1 turn out instead of 2 turns out) on second cylinder no change notable


When I check the spark plugs, the spark plug on cylinder 2 looks realy black.
Spark plug 1, 3 and 4 look like this:



While spark plug no. 2 looks like this:



Any suggestions on what to do?
Open up the carb again and see if there is something wrong with the pilot screw of the second cylinder? Or could this be caused by anything else?

Thanks guys!

Just a couple of questions for now.

Can the gear shift lever be converted to race shift?

I have also found 2 cables dangling under the bike. Look like clutch cable type. Is this from the exup? if so will they need connecting to something?

Cheers.
