    Not sure of the year

    Try a new (correct) spark plug. Is old plug wet or dry ? Timing out, does it cough / kick ?
  2. What's wrong with the current map ?
  3. You rip classic bikes to shreds, but take everything so personally. Don't give it if you can't take it.
  4. Next time you buy a bike take a mechanically minded friend, not Stevie Wonder.
  5. Sounds typical of a bike needing a carb clean, good news. Bikes of that age tend to hold their value, assuming you haven't paid over the odds. You can always sell it on if you don't like it.
  6. Take the plug out, does it spark ? Put some petrol down the plug hole, does it start and run, even for a few seconds ? Take it from there (if its a tlr )
  7. Probably connect to black going to coil.
  8. I've heard this stated many times, what noticeable difference would it make having the correctly rated unit ? I have used car condensors, and original fitment units, and in use there is no perceptible change in performance or longevity of components.

  10. Its also got an air screw on a petrol screw carb !
  11. If its registered - https://hpicheck.com/bike-check?gclid=CjwKCAjwpIjZBRBsEiwA0TN1r1IFOwsQy8BBfHCqNV1O6aCKg4znc8o76nySGhZ7ClamtjK9a8rbrhoCBMAQAvD_BwE
  12. If you ride 1 finger on the clutch, I'd go for light, otherwise standard.
  13. Couple of things to do, check the kick start is tight on the shaft, take the plastic pipe on the gear box fill and extend it up under the tank, fit a pipe to the breather on the flywheel and again take it up under tank.

    MAJESTY questions

    Info on how to convert to majesty spec :- https://plus.google.com/photos/109171438807732712015/albums/5694268572989036097/5695714225111077714?banner=pwa&pid=5694606578210398034&oid=109171438807732712015
  15. Everybody does that once ! The hex bolt is the kickstart return spring stop. Oil is normally drained from the allen key one. See video on how to re-tension spring, this was done by Martin Matthews at motoswm. Have look at his site if you need parts, new and second hand. (Excellent fast response) Oil is 1200cc, I have used 5:30 car oil for years. You will get conflicting info on this.

    Best Levers

    There is slop in the lever of the 3 position shown above, but an acceptable compromise IMO. Good quality, well maintained and routed cables are essentially for a light clutch pull. Unless you have exceptionally large hands, domino's are a fair stretch for all day one finger clutch. If you don't use the clutch they are ideal and very good quality.

    Observation

    Can anyone name another sport where competitors and officials make-up the rules as they go along, and still have an overall winner at the conclusion ?
  18. Lifting the back wheel is a good technique to practice, some steps are so undercut that there isn't anything for the back wheel to slam into.
