Re: Newbee
Hi there...todays jobs. Strip the crappy paint off the swingarm and clean the mountian of chainlube off everything and make new brackets fot the cans instead of those kitchen utensils that are on there.
Re: Newbee
Just a little question all of you. Got the bike running on Sunday. Now starts on very little or no choke. Ticks over at about 1500rpm. Give it some throttle and let the throttle off and it has started to backfire a little. Any help greatly received...cheers
Re: Newbee
Air leak on exhaust system.
Or possibly carbs not seated properly.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
