Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
spent a few hours with lollipop sticks again 
. just couldnt get the LC as sweet as i wanted at tickover and just of the throttle stop.
so carbs in bits. into the dishwasher then carfully put together and balanced with a pair of lollipop sticks
the bikes running sweeter than ever so must have been a little dirt inside some of the carb galleries

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
I actually got out for a spin (1st this year) on my VTR Tuesday gone
I had to pay £175.9 per litre (we just as well call it £1.76, after all what is 1/10 of a penny anyway 
) for Super Unleaded.For those of us old enough not to be conned by this litre pricing, that's almost £8.00 a gallon

Ah, but that was for four star, the good stuff.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Stripped out a stater reduction gear thingy out of the scrap lump.
Cut the frame off Custurds old motor.
So now have two lumps sitting in the way anyone want them before I call in the scrap man ?

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Sadly I can remember it being cheaper than 50p a gallon, but then I did have a Saturday morning job selling petrol at a filling station. I was only 16yrs old and still at school, but I did have my very first moped which I rode to the garageMacV2 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 8:53 am'Kin hell £8 A gallon !sirch345 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 8:35 pmI actually got out for a spin (1st this year) on my VTR Tuesday gone

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Started bike up for first time since coolant hoses and manual ccts fitted, she started after 5 stabs at the button.
No rattles as such, ran up to temp topping coolant and checking oil no leaks all good.
On start up from running temp a screech on turnover then disappeared I belief this the manual ccts being a little tight.
Need to check again from cold tomorrow to replicate, question is how I deal with the problem have read so many posts on the subject head is in the shed.
Any advice will be well received.
