Yes, I wasn't too happy when I saw fuel leaking from the bottom of the petcock..

The diaphragms looked a bit flimsy and weak but I can't see any cracks in them.

Does the fat pipe connect to the red spigot under the tank?

Can you see the photo now mate?

Thanks Mac, Bugger. The photo I took is showing up on my screen in the post, I thought for a second there I was doing well. I have the small tube that attaches to where you have "yes" on your photo, fuel was leaking out from where you said "no", rolling off the rubber flap and on...

Hi all, I hope my photo has attached ok, I just set up photobucket. Fuel was leaking from the petcock so I have just installed a new diaphragm kit. Could someone please tell me where the big hose that is sitting in between the fuel hoses facing forward with the cracked end goes to? It was just lying...

Right hand thread, got it thanks Mac. I guess it is easier to see once the cover is off than with the harmonic balancer on my car. Great video Wicky. After watching that, 'Delboy's Garage, Motorcycle Chain and Sprocket Change' came up and I watched him swap a Triumph chain and sprockets. He made a c...

Remove the clutch lever before removing the sprocket cover and you wont have to bleed. As for the weight of the chain it comes down to whether you want something for race use so has less weight but is not as strong and does not have the longevity or whether you want something for street/touring use...

Thanks Kev.

That front cover does look a bit more complex to deal with than my old bikes. That's great advice, I'll remember to bleed a lot and be patient.

Hi, Am going to fit new chain and sprockets to my ride. It's been a while since I've done this on my bikes (I don't think X-ring chains were around back then, only O-ring). Wondering if anyone has used or is using silent sprockets and do you find them to be an improvement over steel? Anything I shou...

Hi, I just landed myself a big red one recently but unlike you I am a gumby and can't seem to work out how to post a pic. Co-incidentally I can't see your pics either but i was able to see Cadbury's shiny red beast. Mine has the reg/rec changed, has had a complete rebuild but has stock CCT's reinsta...

Hi all,

I picked up my bike last week and it purrs and is lovely. I've been trying to attach a photo but without success, could someone please suggest the best/easiest way to do this.

Thanks

I made up my mind and decided to get the bike after all, Woo Hoo! Many thanks for all the positive feedback and helpful information. Got a mate coming down with his trailer next weekend and we'll go and pick it up, the same mate who we used to tear through the canals in Sydney when we were kids on o...

Sorry yea, the chain was rather well lubed and could have been dripping from it..

There is a slight oil weep coming down the sidestand that the owner said has always been there. Might be easy fix? No drips on the ground that I could see. Not usual for oil leaks from that location - though lube from chain can lead to dribbles from there - or a leaking clutch slave of hydraulic fl...

I went and had a look, did my best to hide my excitement and found a few things that need attention: In short, front discs, oil weep, CCT's stock units, running nicely but idling high and slight back fire on acceleration Front discs are a little glazed and rough so would need replacing soonish, brak...

Aww nice. Here's to you enjoying yourself. It's a long way to come for just a week. My mum went back home a couple of months ago, she hasn't lived there for over 45 years but says it still feels great and her old neighbour recognised her..
