As said, check all earths and wiring, then check your timing, could be causing the backfiring, retarded to far? Also could be a jetting and carb setup issue... You will get backfiring if running to lean!

Larger of the two screws on your carb, screw it clockwise... will do the trick!

What year is the bike, 08? If your a gentle rider maybe you could have a blockage in the exhaust, carbon buildup... this will cause a slight bogging down. Could be fuel? Drain the tank, empty the fuel from the float bowl on the carb, replace fuel hose and filter if using one and try again. With it being after a few hours your bike could be running low in the tank so not much weight from the fuel above forcing through. Only other thing I can think of is weak spark, take your plug out, dry out the plug cap and shove a new plug in. Remove flywheel cover, spray a load of WD40 in there, kick the bike over a few times, dry excess WD out.

Personally, I dont think its a genuine 08, it may be 07 with 08 plastics and graphics, look at the forks in the video, the 08 had black kevlar wraps, they dont... also, a light season, yet he's managed to break the front mudguard to the point where it needs a replacement from another bike? Those mudguards dont break easily! I may be wrong but I smell a rat.

9-44 is what I run on my sherco... does me fine!

Well, Fort Bill's about to have an

Only really got this one to show my face however silly I look... And one of the bike on its lonesome

Ummm.. 9th in this years SSDT I think, pretty good rider!

Hmmm... What money we talking here?

Patience... patience? That took me a good four hours Just could not get those bits in the background with the selection tool, kept wanting to select his helmet too.. Not a freind as such, just local rider Gary Macdonald, with a slightly strange look on his face? Will mess around with the intensities of dark and light patches later if I get time and see if you notice an improvement.. Cheers, Jamie

Cheap, eastern european sex slaves included?

Been messing around in photshop cs4 for the past few hours, trying to colour pop photo's This so far is my best attempt Any tips or advice to be given?

Wd40, leave it for 25 seconds or so, then get a rag and wipe it off... that is unless its eaten at the surface of the finish, try find a white touchup marker and use that... that is if its on the ex haslam 300?

Pretty sure it's a K type.. same as many modern frames, can be found cheaply here; http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=66

Too late, I found... to my surprise, myself speaking to the manager at Orlando Florida's Walmart supercentre!

Been suffering now for a few weeks, quite surprised really with me being only 14, but I suppose anyone can get it... Its developed at a tremendous rate over the past three weeks to the point where I ended up having my wrist imobilised by the hospital, the pain's really really bad today so thought I'd pop in here I found getting a weights constriction glove, york fitness do one available from argod for

Ahhh, these things... You cant adjust preload as such, but you can slow or speed up dampening and rebound seperately. If you want to do preload you'll have to dismantle the forks, remove the plastic tube and make up an new one of the same diameter. You can try screwing the large nut with the screws in it, a bit... not to far though, that will make a difference, if thats not to your liking just adjust the two screws, they make a huge difference to the feeling of the bike and you SHOULD be able to get it how you want!

See the cap, it has a small hole in the top, yes? A large allen key fits into that slot... Then you tighten it up to add preload, or losen it to slacken off the pre-load! If not, get us a pic and we'll try to help.

Red cap on the forks? If not, just the cap with the allen key hole in it, wind it in to add preload, out to reduce.

Cheers, I know the puddings in the preperation... had a few dodgy jobs before and had to start from scratch on various items. Although its a daunting task I suppose it'll need doing properly! Paul, where can I purchase the pj1 paint? Is the gloss black almost like the 09 sherco finish? Seen it somewhere before, just cant think for the life of me... ebay maybe. Regards, Jamie

Hey guys, Just wondering, wanting to paint the block in my 06 black... what paint's best to use? What, if any needs doing apart from degreasing, should the old paint be removed considering its in perfect condition. Sanding? Anybody know roughly how many coats of what paint/primer will be needed? Cheers. Also like to comment upon closure of the mechanical talk sub-forum. The sub-forum was quite frequently used, and most questions not related to a certain bike... many threads in there about tools, general maintenance for ANY bike, stuff that wouldnt be bike specific or general trials talk. Maybe, just maybe.. it could be re-opened, take this question for example, this isn't bike brand specific so it has to go in here, where only 30% of people with the right answer will look. Mechanical I'd say 90% of people would look in there! There's a lot of people who dont venture into any other forums apart from mechanical and their bike specific one! So yeah, any chance of it being re-opened but point out its for the non bike specific stuff? Regards, Jamie

I'd say give it 6 hours, check coolant and gb oil, four hours, replace gearbox oil and check coolant again... then just go for it

Try splitting the rear caliper so you have access to both pistons, should be either one or two bolts depending on caliper! Put the nozzle of a compressor against the crossover hole for fluid between the two halfs, cover the caliper with a box or something, either that or point it away from you, and away from windows, the neighbours car, your children or the neighbours pesky cat.. I know it may be tempting but c'mon, behave... these fly out with enough force to wound a man at 15 yards! Longest distance I've recorded is 40 yards to the end of the driveway and across the burn. So yeah, cover it and give the hole a blast with the compressor... maybe leave some wd40 to soak into it to degrade the seals enough to possibly loosen up... Then just get a repair kit for
