Does the Honda share its engine / gearbox oil?

If you like the smell, just put a tablespoon full of it in every gallon of petrol, tell yourself you are adding an upper cylinder lubricant and enjoy the odour. Won't do any harm that way.

two questions,, how much weight would that save.. where have you seen them..

Doesn't matter, it lodges 'in your head'

You can make them yourself - I bought the correct alloy bar on ebay, though I didn't hollow them out, I did it because it's easier to machine accurately on a cheap chinese lathe than steel and doesn't need expensive coatings.

Or you can buy even cheaper used road bike or trialsbike spindles also on ebay and modify them.

Why would you make steel ones?

I recall you have a choice of different damping rates with these shocks, standard and extra light, which did you order? and what did NJB say to your complaint?

In Topic: 2008 Rev 3 Running Backwards

16 February 2013 - 09:48 PM

2 strokes running 'backwards' are not unknown, normally it's either a case of over advanced ignition causing the slow-idling engine to briefly stop then change direction and run retarded (loads of examples from pre war Scotts onwards) or intentional (Villiers engined 3 wheelers)

It is, though, difficult to imagine how you'd bump start it backwards. unless you dropped the motor to a slow idle ...... as above.

I'd try starting it normally and see how it goes, with the caveat that you should check the ignition timing ASAP, it's hard to 'nudge' a woodruff key enough to significantly alter the timing, but not impossible to shear one in which case the timing will change constantly once the flywheel starts moving on the taper.
