Re: Hi from sunny Thailand
I imported as bits, but as a complete bike as luggage at Bangkok airport, but the plate and green book I got down near Hua Hin, I went to the local register office for car and road tax in the area, so I think you would go to your local one, not need to go to BKK, I had an import license even through...

Re: Improved my headlight today

Re: Power valve
Thanks for that, it seems a lot, as i was expecting to rise up and down dependiong on how much throttle is applied, this movement is like it is being elecritcuted, the movement does not effect the running on idle, . I will try to download a small video of it.

Power valve
When you have the cover off the power valve, when you have engine running, should the valve fluctuate ??? when on idle it will fluctuate up and down, when the power is applied it opens as it should, Thank you

Piston slap
Is it common, as I have a bad rattle when i pull away, but goes if you ease the twist grip off a little then power through it, the performance is good and I can drive it without the rattle, but i have to keep ridding the throttle, any help would be good, before i take the barrel off, I thought it mi...
