Re: fuel aditive
I have been using Lucas safeguard in my bikes for 2-3 years now and have not experienced any issues with leaking seals, varnish or ethanol gumming and some have been sat for well over a year. On my 500 my carbs would always overflow if left sat for a while despite new float valves. Since using this ...

Re: YZF 600 Rear wheel fitment
Can’t help you with the YZF but I have just converted my bike to run 17’s. After wasting a lot of time and money on different options I ended up with a cheap and easy rear wheel conversion. XJR400 rear wheel bolts straight in with the addition of two new spacers. Bearings, disc and sprocket carrier...

Re: Oil injector check valves
Ouch - just found my invoice I paid $87 back in 2016 (so about £60 at the time). Never had any leaks since though, I used to get a huge build up of 2 stroke in the exhaust if stood for a while (which my bike does a LOT)
I fitted mine under the cover plate rather than next to the pump

Re: Oil injector check valves
I have fitted these check valves with no issues (other than stopping the leaking of oil into the exhausts when standing)

Re: Dark Side
In the UK the E model came out in 78. Redline went up 2k, points replaced with CDI and compression changes. Made for another 10bhp over the earlier 77 2D.

Re: My TZR's
Very nice :cool: :cool: :cool: Steve Thanks all, much appreciated. The 3MA is a real pain to work on with the carbs at the front but I am learning a few short cuts along the way. To remove the carbs you have to remove the air box, and to remove the airbox you need to remove the radiator! I airbox i...

Re: New fairing parts Yamabits
Painting fibreglass can be a little more troublesome as the trapped air in the mould can surface and react withe the solvent in the paint causing a bubble mark.
