Measure the distance between centres then add a bit of simple maths (or use a program off the net) and that will give you the correct length 428 chain has a ½” pitch try this: http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/chainlength.html

Most tend to be used on wasteland, canals ect... the ones stolen for profit tend to be broke for spares I had a new mx bike stolen many years ago, they tried to sell it to a breaker (who I happened to know) he rang the police and they didn’t even come!

Unfortunately off road bikes have always been the choice of thieves! Easy to pass on and very light punishment (at best) if they get caught

I don’t mind doing a bit of observing, but I would draw the line at administering first aid.

Too right, my shed's hot as hell today Its melting my billet yokes!

This thread will run for longer than a Chinese engine

I had a similar problem many years ago on a 1990 KTM, the plugs would only last one meeting (or less) then they wouldn’t work again I tried all sorts, timing, carb setting, plug caps, different make of plugs ect...... In the end I swapped all the ignition components, and it worked perfect after that I also retried the original ignition, and the problem returned!?!?!

Welcome aboard, nothing new about stupid questions around here

Yet another pre65 handbag fight! A 1961 motor cycle magazine had the results for a classic trial held for pre WWII and earlier bikes, so maybe 1972 wasn't the first classic trial?

Or its 50/50 if the missus will let him ride

Excellent

That would only work if the both have the same number of teeth?

the fork oil should be thin

Were did you get the cast iron from, I want a piece to do pursang drum. I deal with loads of metal suppliers at work, not one can supply cast!

Are you for real!!!!!! I’d be quite happy to run you over with my 2T mx bike if you want to give it a go?

The bikes need to be lighter, I won’t be happy until I’m filling my tyres with helium

I'm using silkolene at the moment, what's the problem with it? you've got me worried

You may be right, but my experience with Chinese machine tools is they are crap! I would much prefer to buy American, British or Japanese built machines. Chinese micrometers do make good little G-clamps though ‘Buy cheap buy twice!’

so what's wrong with a tornado then, we had one making parts for years never a minutes trouble Mori Seiki are fantastic machines, but so are HAAS so how are they any better? Have you ever used a HAAS?

What's wrong with HAAS (not hass) machines then? And a Colchester Tornado is a toy CNC machine, what would you recommend? And Dadof2: I’m yet to see a Chinese CNC that’s any good, unless you like lots of down time (I know as I used one, when it would work)

A bantam is probably the best choice, but the cost depends on how competitive you want it! the more you can do, the cheaper the project

What happens if they get a medal? Ouch!

Looking at the picture there is hardly any carbon on the piston!

no, just keep riding it and have fun (ICMTR = fantasy made up rules, just to cause trouble)
