Thanks for that is there less chance of the renthals snapping ?

Like it says too big a step and not enough height with front wheel, what a sight then snap went the handlebars......... They were Hebo , are they the best to refit ? or renthal or domino/tommiselli which i have seen on websites.. Im after your preference its the 1st time for me so any info to steer me in the right direction " no pun intended " cheers Dave.

My gasser txt280 limited edition 03yr, Has a annoying way with spark plugs....after 4 to 8 hrs use, when i come to kick it up it starts ok but then starts running lumpy then fizzels out and stops. I then check spark plug,the end is black and sooted,replace plug and everything hunky dory for the next 8hrs. My petrol mix is 65cc of synthetic oil to 5 litres of petrol, is this the norm with my model......? cheers Dave

Thanks for that Steve.....what title is it on you tube ?

heres a link to school....www.xctingdirect.com .. let us know how you get on!!!

What you need to do first is make sure the rest of the carburettor is clean inside, you need to remove it from the bike, take the 14mm brass nut out from underneath & remove the float bowl, line everything up on the bench in order & remove the pilot jat & starter jat. blow them out with compressed air & refit back together... By the sounds of it I bet the pilot jet is blocked!! With the fuel screw (the one to the left of the idle screw) turn it all the way in, then back it out 3.5 turns, this is a good base setting but all bikes run differant. With the tickover screw you need to just start the bike up & turn it in until the bike is just ticking over nicely or where you like it, if the bike is running lumpy (rich) then just turn the fuel screw in a quarter of a turn at a time until it runs better. If the bike is hunting for fuel (weak) then turn the fuel screw out until it runs better... Hope this helps.

The question is which make of tyre !!!!!!!!!!

Back the fuel screw all the way in then unscrew 3 to 3.5 turns. then just set the tick over. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that cheap tyres are out !!! What price are the dunlops,do you get them mail order ? If so anychance of web-site.. Cheers Dave
