Thanks Martin for the tips. I tend to change the oil every year anyway when I dig it out though with the small amount of mileage I saldy do every year now,...
I'm well into working on my new magazine now and am at the point where I'd be keen to find out about any bikes out there that would be potentially interesting...
I have a small solar powered charger , it only charges a couple of milliamps, wich is perfect for keeping the battery full over the winter. this is probably...
I found what I think is a close match to the Verde Legnano, The only thing that I know that is true is a photo courtesy of Bill Ross from 1971 of Djalma Santos...
This is very subjective stuff since the colour from the inside of the tank is unlikely to be pristine due to exposure to fuel etc. The inside of a tool-box...
Hi guys, with over 600kms on the clock since a full rebuild I felt confident to give my 750S a bit of a stretch last week. Turns out she has a very bad misfire...
Roger, Electrics issues: Start with easiest, swap plugs then leads and caps with new as high full throttle can give you different loadings from static checks. ...
Hi David - questions are what I'm after! It is jerky, same every time. Possibly worse if throttle rolled on fast as opposed to gently. No reason to suspect...
Thanks Luc. I should have said, filters fine, carb bowls drained and free of any debris too. Thanks Roger Via Blackberry Roger Bourne Corporate Communications...
if it is only throttle related, check the carbs over again , sounds like one of the main jets rattled loose. or fitted a couple of sizes too big during the...
Thanks. Checked jets when I drained carb bowls. All in order. Via Blackberry Roger Bourne Corporate Communications Manager Plant & Food Research Mobile +64 21...
Hi Roger, I have had a number of sets of 3 ohmn dual plug Dyna coils, initially I didn't earth them properly (on a newly restored powdercoated frame) and then...
Is there any way of reverting to the original ignition set up without ripping the loom apart? It would be useful to switch back to the old system for a test...
142 mains with K and N filters. I know I should go up a bit for those filters but ran perfectly that way before rebuild? Via Blackberry Roger Bourne Corporate...
Now there's an idea. I do have a newly powder coated frame and coil brackets.... Via Blackberry Roger Bourne Corporate Communications Manager Plant & Food...
Hi Martin, yes easily done. I have another bike with points so may try that if a few of the simpler options offered here don't help first. Cheers Roger Via...
Stop all this now. Don't go pulling your bike apart before you have to. If I assume your post below is accurate most of what has been suggested isn't going to...
Roger, Damian is right in that you should start with the simplest things as I encouraged you to do previously and not tear your bike down. However, your...
Roger, I assume that you have already done this when you rebuilt the bike, but I agree completely about the earthing points and problem sthey can give. I...
HI all, thanks for al your feedback. To me getting the ideas and experience of others is a key role of this forum. I'll work through it all slowly starting...
If you re read my post the first thing I said was that I assumed the description was accurate. The origional post described a breakdown related to revs not...
Thanks. To clarify, issue is throttle related, not rev related. Happens when bike is cold and hot, no difference. Many people leap to carb issues on that basis...
Hi Roger, Â I don't want to state the obvious but have you tried fitting a brand new set of plugs. Â I seem to experience the same problem as you on my 750S...
HI all, working on the assumption that my misfire could be caused by a weak spark I tested the voltage to the coils (Dyna coils and Dyna 3 ignition). Battery...
I typed the wrong way round I meant throttle not revs. Sorry. Anyway, hate to harp on about it but if your fuel filler vent isn't working that will cause lack...
