  1. This happened to me literally a couple of weeks ago in a downpour.. never happened before and it's been wetter. Just bad luck and water had gotten in somewhere. Someone suggested carbs as they are so exposed. But it's fine now it's dried out.
  2. If I can't see my face it ain't finished.. its never been finished lol
  3. Can't take it off the wheel yet as I have no stand.. it was very very very filthy. I ride in all weather and they love a bit of gritting down my way, cheaper than fitting the pot holes. Since the last clean however it's staying clean looking for longer.
  4. I use that.. use a whole can easily on a grimey chain, but the crap literally drips off.
  5. So... I had all these slip issues. I loosened my sprocket cover yesterday to have a look. But didn't tighten it up as tight as before...... as if by magic no slip. Clearly he man strength has caused some kind of issue there. Rattles a bit now which is concerning.
  6. Belt drive sounds bloody good...

    Slip again...

    I think this is what I'm now thinking.. its because quite noisy in that area when applying throttle. Have to be in enclosed spaces riding to actually hear it.

    Slip again...

    Hoping someone picks this up... could problems or ware in the cam chain or tensioning cause slip???
  9. My gasket from them was pretty big and didn't fit all the way in.

    I have new springs coming for the front and it's going in to have the seals and we'll everything front fork related seen to. I've already raised the read by 35mm. That in itself made a HUGE difference to handling.
  11. Tonnes of flyscreen out there that fit the larger front light unit you have. You could bolt a universal one on then just seal up the instruments.
  12. I'm assuming it still actually works?
  13. Damage from sitting position ain't to bad.. you could live with that. The rear I'd look to bodge/custom something for that to cover. Maybe a nice square of plastic or mod a flyscreen to fit. Then you'd not even see it. Must be really frustrating buddy but persevere!

    RamAir

    The reset option may be needed anyway as it idles pretty roughly at points and that's following changes to plugs, oil, filters and a fuel line cleaner. No idea when them carbs would have been stripped last. Knowing then I may have to replace the tiny bits it'll need rebalancing then wouldn't it. Surely that then would counter. It's long term at the moment anyway and I'm looking at lots of different things to throw money at. Doing my bit for the economy!

    Has anyone used these?? I steered away from filter cones based on feedback. What about the foam ram air filters?
