Mirror in the garage so you have something to throw the hammer at?
Is this the biker equivalent of having a mirror above the bed

No bike (yet).
Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Yamaha RD125LC mk1 unfortunately it has a mk1 DT engine, but has quite a few genuine spares thrown in with the deal.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Checked the cam timing and everything is pointing in the right direction. I haven't got the kit or knowledge to check the timing is correct for the cams, but since it's not noticeable out and Roger built the engine I reckon it's going to be OK. So it's the carbs or something major, or a combination of about eight things. Monday with the stock carbs will be a telling day.
Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
MOT for the TL and short ride need more time on the bike was starting to feel it after 60 miles and new leathers didn’t help think I kidded myself with the large boys

If you every need a walk through on degreeing cams, let me know. It really isn't that tough and the kit needed was under $100 here in the states ( and could be even less if you print out a degree wheel off of the net).freeridenick wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 6:56 pm Checked the cam timing and everything is pointing in the right direction.

All you need is a degree wheel, dial indicator, and a magnetic base or some way to mount the indicator

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
I actually got out on the Storm today
Great to be out again, the last ride-out was 25th September 2020
I needed to get out for my well being. I also realised the petrol in the bike was now 6 months old
I have been running the bike up to NWT every 6 weeks or there about. Fortunately the bike seemed to be running fine, so on the way back home I filled the tank with Super unleaded. Then another quick blast to get some into the carbs,
Chris.
