I always liked the look of the 348's and I got a later model one last year having never rode one before, its surprisingly well made for a bike of that age easy to work on as well..
I wouldn't worry too much about it snapping in half if you find a decent one I doubt you will loose money on it. I'm not bothered about
it being competitive in twin shock trials I just bought it for the fun factor which it has in spades.
Hi All,
Got the bike out of the van and noticed the bolt that holds the rear mudguard and base of the fuel tank is missing.
I believe the part is not available does any know what size of bolt it is so I can source a replacement.
Thanks all
Hi
I don't know about repairing a tank but there are a couple of second hand 349 tanks on ebay,
Off the later model 349s. (grey frame/red tank)

Hi Gazza,
That's a great looking bike it looks like production model ...
One question did you paint the mitani tank or does it have 4rt decals applied to it.
Cheers

Hi all
Found the problem! the fan had cut through a couple of wires running to the rubber box attached to the left side of the bike,
Glad it happened 10ft from the van not mile from the van on top of a moor....
Thanks for all your suggestions
Hi All,
Had a look a the bike this morning and I'm getting no spark..
Could anyone provide an idiots guide as to how check the coil, pickup, stator etc
I've tried a new plug is it a matter of replacing parts until I get a spark or is there some dark art I need to know about
cheers
Hi All,
After spending an afternoon in the garage I was feeling really pleased with myself as I'd
managed to bleed a spongy rear brake this was after trying various methods including
syringes and reverse bleeding/regular bleeding covering myself with fluid etc etc..
I managed to get the job done after taking the back of the bike off and bleeding the master cylinder.
Anyhow after putting everything back together I thought I'd start her up! usually a two kick affair from
cold and one kick when hot! after ten kicks nought!!
At that point I remembered last time I was out I was riding back to the van and the bike cut out as if
it had run out of petrol though there was plenty of fuel in the tank. (had run fine all day up to that point)
I've got a pass this weekend so I'm going to try and get the bike started just wondered what I should
check? first thing I was going to look at was too see if there's a spark (not sure what I'll do if there isn't one!)
then see if there's any gunk in the carb.
After that I'm not sure what to check? and suggestions as to what I should look at mucho appreciated!
Cheers all
Here you go not sure if they ship to UK though..

what year is the bike? they got better every year.
Albea motors sell a racing kit which should have everything you need, they may not ship to UK but you should be
able to source most things over here...
