Excellent read Ian and lots of good info, I'm also converting to 28mm bars and never thought to look at the top yoke pockets so many thanks for that little pearl. After that I need to make some rearsets as a little scrote nicked my bike and dropped it on the off side (why are only left rearsets for ...

Cheers Chris
Bought new choke cable (snapped one trying to get bobbin thing out) fowlups have provided the vacuum pipe just need to buy new bobbin things, thinking I might be on the road mid June 2022

Well, as I said previously it seems like one job leads to another. While I was sorting out the vacuum pipe I thought I might as well find the reason why the choke didn't work. This is what I pulled out the carb.
Guess I'm buying new starter valve sets.

Bought a set of easy outs and shifted the broken one, thanks for all the help and suggestions

Yes mate, I'm after one but don't t have enough posts to pm you

Cheers guys, it is running lumpy which is why I thought I'd balance the carbs. Seems like everytime I go to do something I find more broke bits

Thanks Hawk, but my problem is that where the pie goes into the carb it appears to be sheared off and I don't know where or how to route a new pipe

I know this is an old post but was wondering where the vacuum pipe goes to as this is what I found when I tried to ballance the carbs

Hi guys
Just want an opinion on the colour, v5 says silver but I'm thinking red or white, I was quoted ££400 for just the tank in the original red so tried this as an experiment

Never mind, there's a pair of stanchions on ebay that I should be able to make a pair of forks out of.

Put the seat unit on to see if I like it in white, it's silver on the v5, painted in yellow emulsion by previous owner so i bought a set of red fairing plastics but they're 3 different shades.

Not just the choke Tony Got to replace the forks too so got k tech linear springs and bush/seal kit and in an eBay dispute as a breaker sent me a fork with a bent tube, subframes twisted, frames got a hole in the headstock, front tyres punctured, brakes are shot, brackets for fairing are broke ...

Thanks Mac
Tried everything bar the strip down, personally I think the previous owner/owners have mullered it so with the rest of the issues it looks like I'm bikeless till next year, teaches me a lesson about trusting people I guess.

Hi guys I'm stripping down 'old yeller' as the previous owner must have been a right muppet, the choke only comes out about 1/4" and does absolutely nothing. I can't see any reason it's being stopped but was wondering if there was something inside the carbs that could be causing it. It looks like I ...

I figured the arrows had to match up and they even put R and F on them and still got it wrong, kinda worried now what else I'll find.
