There seems to be a gay biker theme happening...stop it now..please..... i do not and dont want to be affiliated with chocky pushing into the pink...it wrong and god punishes thee that pops ya wee wee into the pickle tunnel......

Gayest thing ive read on these forums!

Where abouts on the chassis is it? Well on mine ( and ive found many non standard things on it! ) The cable runs from the negative terminal , to the speed sensor pickup, just to the right hand side of the rear CCT. The bolt wasn't even finger tight, after i had been replacing the speed sensor. It w...

Youve checked the cable from the negative terminal on the battery to the chassis? Mine was loose, and was giving me starting issues.

Just tried out the above reg/rec. Works ok so far, doesnt get as hot as the R6 one i had. Still hot tho! Charging at a pretty steady ~14.4v. Couple of things i could use an opinion on. I was trying to balance the carbs, using the 2 ball bearings in tubes method. They didnt seem far out, the moving b...

Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to these?

Or are they pretty much all i can use?

Anyone bought one of these?

CBR 900 uses the same type of reg/rec i think?

I have an R6 reg/rec on my machine, noticed when i was stripping the bike, that the spade terminals and about an inch of the insulation of a couple of the terminals had been cooked. Turned brown and brittle. I noticed that the reg used to get very hot, almost instantly after turning on the engine. T...

Bypassed the relay by tapping the starter motor onto the + connection. Bike started ok after a bit (understandable) , but only on one cylinder, revved it a bit, no joy, then i noticed i hadnt put the front spark plug cap on! d'oh.

The battery is new, well, its been on an optimate since new, about 9 months ago.

The engine turns by hand, did it when i was checking valve clearances. I should be hearing the relay clicking, which im not. Gonna get the meter out and check some stuff. Pretty sure its a dodgy relay tho.

As topic says.. Turned on ignition, dash lights up etc, neutral light is lit etc. Press starter, and nothing, just a very slight, quiet click from the starter relay. Disconnected the starter motor, tried agiain, made no difference. Looking at the wiring diagram, theres nothing else that can really b...

I had an issue with petrol escaping from the tank when i removed it. It completely saturated the spongy pad thats stuck the underside of the tank. Could i replace it with any kind of sticky sponge, or does it have to be some special type. I think a replacement is about £30 which i thought was a bit...

Any suggestions please, i have a few of my own, but i REALLY dont want to put it back together, and realise i should have done something!

Youre a legend Benny, got a socket on them, managed to prise off the carbs. Off to order some stuff now.

Cheers

Oh christ, didnt even notice they were socket screws ! off to try it. Cheers!
