no, the compensating sprocket nut worked a bit loose as they can do. tightened it up but still vibrating a canny bit through crank.Did the carbs float heights need adjusting?

I was just joking. A hammer and massive socket to adjust something as delicate as the carb float heights.no, the compensating sprocket nut worked a bit loose as they can do. tightened it up but still vibrating a canny bit through crank.

Can't mention his name obviously but he did win medals at the Olympics.
Ended up getting a new battery in the end was just to hitty missy, seems to be ok now , on the plus side it got delivered in this box so will remove,charge and keep warm in the winter as its freezing in the garageYip always used them. Just changed from an oxford to a noco 1a charger. The noco is streets ahead.
Said this before on here, in the winter its best to take the battery off charge it fully and keep it in the warm house. Cold kills em. If you are not using the bike in the winter that is.

Most motorbikes dont have inner tubes now. I carry some tyre strings and a co2 inflator with canisters Incase i get a puncture in the middle of nowhere.I feel I need to improve my bike maintenance skills- if I get a puncture out on the road I’d be pretty much knackered. Anyone else know how to do repairs out on the road if needed or change an inertube/ fix a puncture?
Mine does- I know you can get those bacon strips to plug tubeless tyres. It's a Yamaha, so I should be alright mechanically, always in my mind if I'm out doing something like Blanchland to Slaley, I'd be right up sh**-creek. Best get some practise in.Most motorbikes dont have inner tubes now. I carry some tyre strings and a co2 inflator with canisters Incase i get a puncture in the middle of nowhere.

reet, so looking like he needs to carry a spare wheel just in caseThats the one, wont work on a tyre with an inner tube though. Just tubeless.
Yes but you need to get the tube out the tyre to put the patch on. Not a difficult job but you would need a couple of tyre levers, and a device, co2 kit or pump to blow it back up roadside. I prefer the co2 as it takes up no space at all.Repair patch would though, if I stuck one of those in with it.

Is that to wheel them around in tight spaces or lift the bike up when it's only got sidestand? I have bothAnyone have a centre stand dolly they don't use anymore? I'm on the look out for one.
Abba do a good one, best around infact but they aren't cheap, you buy the stand and the dolly attaches to it. A have the stand and the front wheel lift attachment and cannot recommend one enough. Fit any bike too with the interchangeable pivot sockets.Anyone have a centre stand dolly they don't use anymore? I'm on the look out for one.
