Just that time to check things out, don't necessarily enjoy but I guess

we will just call it preventive maint. or just bored to tears.

Need a new bike to build!!

Yes, I really do use Iridium plugs.

Please don't mind the dirty fins, had a leaky crossover plug.

Have a nice day.

I rode it in a trial

 ]Well that's beats what I got into, Smelling hope you did well.

As for me the simple check turned out to be a little more when my conscience got 

the better of me and forced me down on my knees to take flashlight in hand to

look in the back corner of the mag case & there was a small puddle of fuel.

You know what follows, beware of fuel leaks.

I must like to do things twice at least.

Have a nice day

Hi Chaps, I fitted a new  Bing Carb Float as the old one did not like the alcohol in modern fuel. When i did a float test in a container of fuel only one side floated!

It now runs beautifully. So I spent the day with my mates at the Nash mills Trials ground.  I put two gallons through it to day. 

Such fun. Martin.

Beautiful bike 199! Looks like a great riding area also.

Tripp

Ok , all back together from my latest fiasco, clean mag, timing spot on, new seals, wipers,and fluid,

 for the rear shocks , all washed up and no where to go, oh well such is life.

 

Have a nice day

Well I turned my X 11 around so I would have a nice square edges on my tyre ready for round 2 of the Queensland Moto Trials Series on Sunday. Then I actually went for a ride surprising the hell out of myself. Practicing before an event rather that practicing in an event. Shocking! 

Installed some lever covers and a new kick stand spring. Went for a ride after dark. Almost a full moon, clear, and cool.

 Let us know how it runs. I would have left the first half alone and just removed the last three plates.

Did you cut a small bit off the ends off the leaver covers? they can be hard to get on those i use WD40 to lub but.

Bondy

Both of the cables on the rat have removable ends. I found it easier to remove the cables and feed them through. The other bike will be a challenge because it's cables have fixed ends. I will give it a go today with some wd40.

Thanks for the tip.

Tripp

or dunk them in some hot water to make the rubber softer so it will strech.
