Just off out now.

[geodude]

Been out, did 2.2 miles and put it back in the garage. Its too fooking scary. Ima sell it and get a storm

Just kidding. Still having fuelling issues. A bit of bucking bronko going on. Mind you, every now on then I'd get a feel of the power and wow!! Not so wow when on the roundabout though. Ended up clutching it and coasting the bouts of round in the end. 3 on the short 2.2 mile run. As benny said on FB, its probably missed a service and needs doing so as it's raining over the next few days, i'll have a go at it.

• Fit iridium plugs and check gaps (other way round obviously)
• Change oil (10w30) Power one + filter
• check/clean/replace air filter.

Fingers crossed that'll do it

Edit. Might attempt a coolant change too

Cheers. As long as I have it sorted by spring eh

[benny hedges]

george the backfiring is a bad connection in the ignition circuit / killswitch or sidestand switch - you need to go right through the loom as its the main thing that plagues these bikes

bloody quick arent they lol!

I think I'm already pissing off the neighbours. lol

How when you have baffles in

That looks well quick. Your almost there, just a bit of TLC and there will be no stopping you.

ok will do.

I'm just off out to the garage strip it down again . I'm struggling to get the fooking tank off though. I need to drain some fuel out as the tank is full. I can't get the fooking hose off the return hose coupling so I can drain it. I think I can get the airbox cover off without fully removing the tank, so might do it that way.

[geodude]

ffs this is why I leave it to the pros. lol

Snapped a bit of the union trying to remove the tank.

Union plus two clips £46.35 i'm already skint, don't need this

[AMCQ46]
