  1. Standard routing is down and out through hole in sump tucked behind gear lever, so opposite to dadoffs answer
  2. What was the wire connecting his chest to the headstock?
  3. are the last 3 years not different?
  4. im betting the next pair will be the same........ did you pressure wash them?
  5. lesson learned support your local dealer?
  6. continental contact 200 on mine road holding is superb for the mileage i get.
  7. Definately not true,lots of improvements along the way. Buy new and upgrade, ride more rather than mess about with fancy bits on a bike with used and slightly worn parts.
  8. blame the fim for a rule that is biased towards a particular brand? Standard bikes were lighter when rule introduced
  9. All valid points Mike but unless the rule is enforced properly its pointless. If beckys bike passed, but only with a full tank then they should have a stipulation that the tank CAN be filled before weighing. Otherwise the test should be undertaken at random at any point anywhere, which would give a "true" measurement. There is nothing to stop montesa mechanics adding lead to the airbox before technical and keeping an eye out at the end in case testing re~occurs but ive never seen this extra testing but obviously it occasionally happens or becky wouldnt have been caught out? Was there any testing at Tong apart from pre-trial?
  10. My guess is that ragas is lighter than Beckies, but his back up are aware of where the test is undertaken. When the rule was introduced in france a few years back it was part of the technical pre trial inspection, up until this no ones ever been caught. The only way to really check is a random testing regime somewhere out on the course. What is really annoying is that it favours the full factory super lightweight Hondas, not the semi privateers.
  11. Wheres steve fracey when you want him?
  12. Does it have a dellorto?
  13. So you take months to reply but want to be taken seriously? Your attitude appears to typify why meetings like this get cancelled.
  14. a higher gear will spin more easily with worse throttle control. (better riders master this)
  15. red yellow lighting etc afaik
  16. Whoa there! Its a bultaco. Coils and condensers it may be but check you have a reliable fat spark first. If you havent try cleaning points and double chck you have a gap on them. Big spark = problem in carb.
  17. unusually but he does.
  18. good advice - card payment for deposit
  19. Float height should be 18 .5, make sure floats are right way round. Take out float needle to make sure fuels getting in.
  20. Ditto me. However I cannot believe he thought it would turn around so I'm glad he didnt have any money of mine at the time. Alot of people think the same.
