Speedy recovery Liz.

My friend Eric lives in Scotland with a Can AM, there can't be more than 2 in Scotland can there?!

Hi Wicky, it's the pipe from the front carb overflow!

Well, 2 days at Cadwell and all isn't well!...... Bike ran lovely in the morning of saturday as I was learning the track, as my confidence grew, so did my balls!! Braking as late as possible for Park, saw the bike bog down as bad as ever when asking for power mid corner, I couldn't get it to clear a...

Had the weekend at Cadwell - nice to meet you freerideNick!
Bloody technical track, took me all day Saturday to get my head around it, Sunday was great, bike was better (more on that in Workshop).

I did try to stick with Nick....... but that didn't happen

PM me your address, I'll get it in the post

I looked at my bike today!.... Not done anything to mine since the dyno day. I have been otherwise preoccupied sorting the mess called the back garden - moved 30T of rubble & soul out & moved 18T crushed concrete in for patio base in & layed 150m2 of turf! All this with no access to back...

Thanks guys...... I’ll see how things go whether I get the time

I know there’s plenty on here about the issues of them and how to fix them etc, but when I was carrying my tank to shed, my hose from valve started leaking fuel. Now assuming the valve is stuck open, should I be bothered to take it all apart? Bearing in mind I have a fuel pump so gravity flooding of...

As I said, Here’s my dyno graph from my visit to PDQ, I didn’t keep any before graphs - didn’t see the point! It may not be the most powerful bike here but I’m happy with the results just from fitting the heat shield around front carb! https://i.postimg.cc/YGFtvJ1B/0728-EDBA-97-D1-4-EAA-82-C0-398726...

It's sorted now

Ah! It's you. I knew there was someone else going. PS weekend job right?

Yup, you got it 15 & 15 Sept

Be good to meet you

Thanks Tony,

I've been searching through posts on here and it looks like there isn't much benefit from changing from what I can see. I'll probably leave it until I change the chain & then keep same size front and go 2 bigger on rear.

It did flow.....too well that the carbs didn’t like it! 😅 It`s all about tuning; I have been running this set-up for a few years now and, while it took time to get it sorted, it runs perfectly well now (no burbles or flat sports anywhere and it pulls like a banshee regardless of rpm). I am sure it ...

Thanks all.
I guess these bike manufacturers do put a bit of effort into their R&D (except Buell, they used their customers )
Anyway, I am soo looking forward to Cadwell in Sept.
thinking about changing sprockets before them to see if I can make 6th usable on track!....

OK, all done & sorted. It wasn’t (all) me..... I had forgotten to put the caps over the carb breathers under air filter. Anyway, bike would hardly run so I put the totally standard airbox back on with K&N, ran much much better-almost perfect in fact. Couple of runs and Rob (dyno guy) switche...
