Hi Greeves
Really enjoyed looking at the report and pictures on your site, brought back good memories.

In my limited experience all tyres are good when new, Michelin's seem to be good for longer !
I always run 4.5lbs rear and 5 in front. Tried softer and harder but always come back to these
pressures.

Approx when did this happen as I would like to look up the details in the local papers.

You have two cows, they break out of their field, set the hay barn on fire, smoke, drink, take drugs,
make all the other farm animals lives a misery. They are taken to court and sent on an all expenses paid
safari in Kenya.

If you use this method only change one bearing at a time, (to keep the axle square) and never be tempted to hit the axle as this put the load through the centre / bearing, rather than
the outside of the bearing.
-
Take the plug out and kick over. Check plug for signs of water. Drain carb. Clean check air filter.
-
Agree with other comments. I use a metal rod approx 10 mm x 300mm, push through from one side and lever the central spacer gently untill you can start gently tapping the bearing out. Go round & round so the bearing stays square to the hub. When replacing with new I use a brass drift, this will do less damage if you do hit the hub. When replacing the bearing try only to drift it in around the outside ie the surface that fits into the hub. (remember to replace the central spacer having cleaned it and covered in a coat of grease)

You obviously didnt make yourself clear - you should have said the other other side. Yes I and blond myself.

Like every one else said, quite common on Bultaco's, basically if the timing isnt spot on, and you give it a half harted kick, the piston doesnt go over TDC and fires in the wrong direction. Moral of the story - ease the clutch out.
-
I agree with all the others, to speed thingd up, if you can get them on. stand in a river untill they are saturated, walk about untill they soften up. When they are about half dry put any oil based treatment on and stuff with paper. This tends to draw the oil right into the leather. They should be fine.

Go to any large cycling shop, mountain bike jackets have to do all the things you ask for, and there is a huge selection to choose from. How good it is depends on how deep your pockets are !

What exactly were you looking for when you came across this ?
-
I've heard good reports about PVL, but found it hard to believe it could be much better than my existing Boyer system. What you say seems to confirm this. I have seen some B40's with a smalley primary chain chase (off a C15?) which narrow the engine significantly, which may be the major advantage. Many thanks. Any more info ??
-
I have no experience of 420, but run 428 on my B40. I replace the chain regularly and have found the sprockets last really well. Some people run 520 on B40's, but no one has ever said there was any advantage to me. The only thing to be carefull of is heavy duty chains fouling the engine cases.
-
Has anyone fitted Boyer and swapped to PVL ignition ? I am particularly interested if fitted to a B40, but any comparison would be interesting. What are the advantages / disadvantages of each ?

How about a report on travelling to Robregordo, time taken travelling, route, documentation etc. Appologies if this has all been covered elsewhere.
I would be intrested for next year.
Many thanks
