Cable routing important, fewer bends (and cable tries) the better. Rod that passes through gearbox checked to be straight ? Longer clutch arm. Mechanism not worn and well lubed. Choice of oil in clutch will affect feel.

What he said.

I think the mixture screw can only be accessed from the left hand side. Adjustments should only be made with the bike fully up to temperature.

Nowhere near, have you spoken to Mickey Oates ?

Good luck with that. Hard hats in the Motherwell area, look out for low flying cylinder heads ....

Speak to mom, they are generally pretty helpful.

Or Rohypnol .....

? thanks for explaining. Maybe you can help me ? Americans say "sold" with an "l" , yes ? But solder turns into "soder" Why ?

Then you'll not be offended when I say you sound like a compete wancer.

In is rich !

Thanks for the info, I'll look at reinforcing the door with box section or similar.

The instructions have you position the locks approx 300mm from ground, where were your original locks positioned ?

Pretty sure he was on coupon book yesterday.

It's a 2 stroke, they smoke. Burning gear oil smells quite differently to 2t oil. Crank seal on dry side would normally make it run lean, i.e. not a black plug. Woodruff key tends to be instant, not gradually getting worse, and the result of a stuck open throttle "incident" If it was running well before, the jetting etc should be right.

I doubt the 2t oil is an issue. Have you checked your getting a good spark, ignition problems should not be ruled out.

? Think you'll find there has been more development in pre65 's in the last 20 years, than in " modern " bikes

Get a stack of washers, add / subtract till happy. Measure, make spacers.

Ignore any negative comments about Yorkshire men, they are just like Scots ? (without the good looks, wit, charm, charisma or happy go lucky attitude)

The hole is very small (which makes it block easily) Soak it in carb cleaner / brake cleaner, blow out both ways with an air line. Guitar strings will clean it but this is NOT recommended. When you last put it away it was running ok ? It so, did you drain the carb ? No ? The fuel will evaporate and leave deposits / varnish, this is probably the problem.

This should have been your first post ...

Kinlochleven ?

Is this a question, or just a rant ?

Repsol Honda riders beat them hands (and usually feet) down.

I meant one or other - or neither ?
