Re: Kermit aka snot rocket for sale
Blackbirds are ok bikes, no need to do valve clearances they're never out of spec. Linked brakes are pretty good, no point De linking the brakes they won't be better, just keep the fluid fresh and fit HH pads. I've witessed a blackbird carving up R1's and gsxr's on track days, wheelying up to 140+mph and doing 100mph stoppies (with standard brakes), they can boogie with a few mods and some big balls, lol.

It needed a new thermostat.
Re: Kermit aka snot rocket for sale
Carbs ok fit an akra then see if it needs jetting, it might be ok, don't think the akra is too expensive new, but def the pipe to have on a BB. I've fitted fork spring before to them but can't remember weight, got them from Maxton but was long time ago, also altered air gap which worked well. When your ready to mod give me a shout an i'll see if i can get my memory working, lolpopkat wrote:lloydie wrote:Carb bike Bob !.

Re: Kermit aka snot rocket for sale
I will Bob don't worry .
It has the later fi headers on it atm with standard cans and it needs jetting as its got the flat spot at 5,1/2k rpm ,
Not noticeable when it's cold .
When it's up to temp it's there ,so I'm thinking its lean on the needles ,
(Standard jetting by the way ) .
Love the bird so far :-)

It's one of the reasons why I wanted one as there very reliable bikes , sure cct and rr fail but they have both just been do on this bike :-) .

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