Not Yet Marc...next couple of weeks.

220 Kms covered now. :???: Upper right cylinder comes and goes despite checking and swapping plugs. It seems to foul on this one along...although if I give it a handful it does clear itself and carries on normal. Engine has used about 100 ml of engine oil in the 220kms so far covered. Would this be ...

thanks Guy's.....I will put the order in once the finance department clears the purchase order.!!!

I will drop a post back on the standard and fit.

Good Jaysus....I never spotted this thread before....and just as well, or I would never have even bothered to START mine.

THAT IS SWeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeT. !
Fantastic work.

(I think I have had a man moment ! )

Looks like all the signs of a bad day Blackshaheen.....

Love the beer rule.....been there myself.

On the positive side... you have the sand and the sun

For what its worth...you tried...its not how many times we fall but how many times we get up again !!

So I managed to take her out for a couple of short shakedown runs without the air box or ears fitted and happy to say all went well. Engine is pulling strong (within run-in limits), gearbox slick, and handling was spot on once I got the tyre pressures correct.....in fact so far I would say it feels ...

Has anyone used Skidmarx for replacement panels ? I need a belly pan and both side fairings so if anyone has had experience of them for fit and quality I would appreciate it.

Do not remove the bulb ! - your challenge is to keep it on at all times regardless of traffic or road conditions ! :grin: Cheers Paul I thought there was some strange telepathic connection between the light and the gin on my face...it came on I grinned !!..... and thanks steve....thought i was stuc...

So apart from being a little annoying once you reach 80KPH...does this little warning affect anything else on the bike ?....is removing the bulb the standard fix ?

Ronnie.... :grin: On couple of occasions I left "it" in too long...and I'm still paying for them!!! :smile: Right..off to the supermarket or shop wholesalers, 4 or 5 gallons of white vinegar ...about 5 euro a gallon. Depending on the tank exits or ability to turn the fuel off at a stopcock...

Well...have to say, this turned out fantastic. :grin: Sorry I did not manage to have a before shot to show you guy's but I think you get the idea from the sludge that came out. http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg69/skyjocky/e4e3d51c.jpg http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg69/skyjocky/0dd1e849.jpg

YES.indeed Ronnie. I had the same reaction when I read about it. So I gave it a try couple of months back on another tank and was so impressed I did them all. ! Its a mild acid...cuts through the crap and hey presto you have a clean tank. I will have an inside shot up a little later today. Right now...

Thought you might like to see he result of cleaning the tank with white vinegar. This was after 4 days of it doing its work. http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg69/skyjocky/31cf9c42.jpg http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg69/skyjocky/6cf5db45.jpg . I "Think"...the weep has gone away The ...

Thanks for the responses guy's. Yes I have it on pre mix at the moment ...about 40.1 ? wolf...it seems to be the bases...the weep seems to start / gather there then runs horizontal to the heads then onto the headers. The rest of the engine is dry ? Aaron...Fuse on the bat positive is fine. I won't t...
