Bit of an air leak

Think ive got an air leak somewhere, bit of slight revving going on after throttle shut off, and general funny firing noises. Plug is lovely and brown though. Im going to try raising needle to see if it corrects it for the time being. Is it worth altering oil pump to allow a tad more oil in so i don...

Instrument lights not working

Blew cobwebs off crm with a good blast today. For some reason none of the instrument lights work :( They were fine last time i used it. The neutral light came on briefly and that was it. Had a quick look for obvious things behind the headlight. Why are there sooo many wires and gubbins there :?: Onl...

Re: Got my CRM today - had to push it 20 miles home : - (

Ive got a 15 on the front for decent road use.

Ive had a thought though, about that 1 on the front is worth 3 on the back. Does it not stress the engine more when using a bigger front? Is it not better to alter the rear instead, cos when im pedallin me bike on the big cog - it drains me little legs!!

They are a bit jumpy and unsmooth bob, especially when slowing down under engine braking. 2 strokes are a bit like that.

Im no expert, but i'll gladly have a ride to york if you want me to have a gander sometime. I love the place and the A59 is my favourite road

Cool 8-)

That first gate looked a bit weird, like a garden gate.

Is your mate on a xr400?

Re: Mk2 starts but wont rev

Sounds like you might have to change each part of the ignition to cure it, as it could be any :?

Do you know anyone with a mk2 who'll let you borrow thier bits to try?
