Hay just if anyones about could be helpful;

how much oil goes in gear box? i cant remember for the life of me!

the other thing that was puzzling me other day, after riding about 40 minutes maybe, it started making a funny noise. like when reved up and then back offed or like going down hill made like a funny noise, sort of scraping but not? i know not helpful but if it was a common problem it might ring bells. the other thing it ran badly, like it didnt want to pick up from low revs like it wanted to, and just never pulled like it would normally (trying to pull me arms of).

Any Ideas much appreciated thanks

Hello Jeeves,

After draining, re-fill the gearbox with 700ml 10 weight mineral oil only, or an ATF rated to Dexron III.

From your description, sounds as though the pilot jet and passage ways are choked. Strip carb and thoroughly clean out, remove the jet and the adjusting screw and blow everything clear, firstly, count how far the screw is out from fully in, it should be around 3 to 4 turns out. Going anti clockwise richens the mixture.
