Jon, I had exactly the same problem on my PHM40s. I followed Skins' advice and I even posted pictures of the dimples. I used a needle file to file them down and set the carbs according to Skins' advice. It was much better but it definitely didn't cure it. It still does this occaissionally (more ofte...

Carl,

My 750 has an Ohlins rear shock. I belive it also has a non-standard rising rate rear linkage too (which prevents the fitting of a centre stand), so this may not help. She is currently in storage but I could go there over the weekend and look for a part number, if that helps.

Koen524,

Can I suggest that you put advertising for bikes and parts in the calssified forum, that way people that wouldn't normally look in the 906 section will also see it.

Northern Cape corners

My son took this photo on his recent holiday from Johannesburg to Cape Town. He went the scenic route by going west and then south, rather than following the main roads. He took this picture from the top of an escarpment that is in the Northern Cape Province, looking down at the Western Cape Provinc...

Skins,

I'm just hoping that the Australians forget to declare.

OK Skins, you've worn me down. The kids got back from their holiday last night with the digital camera so I'll get them to take a few photos. I'll post the one that makes me look the least ugly.

Skins,

Ours are always the last Sunday in Novemebr / first Sunday in December. This should give you time to "build up to it".

Skins,

Do you have toyruns in NZ ?

Red, I missed our's two weeks ago because we had friends over from the States. We start from five different shopping centres around the greater Johannesburg and Pretoria region. We all meet us at the Wesbank Oval and park on the track. Two years ago we had 18,000 bikes there. Last year it was 22,000...

Steve, I did my first ever track day on my 750 Paso about a year and a half ago at Kyalami. I was the slowest guy on the slowest bike, but I probably had more fun than all those guys who trailered their exotics with their tyre warmers. Just go there with the attitude of "I'm here to have fun&qu...

Skins, In the bad old days we could only choose from the roughly 4 million white people (isn't that the size of the New Zeeland population, excluding the sheep ?). Now we can choose from 54 million and we have some excellent new guys of all colours coming through. We just need to sort out our Rugby ...

Did anyone ever tell you that you look like Vincent van Goch ? (nothing to do with the fact that we can't see your ears...).

Grand Prix Masters

Did any of you Formula One fans get to see the Grand Prix Masters race on Sunday from Kyalami ? The race was an introduction to what is hoped to be a new series where GP starts from the past race against each other in identical cars. It is hoped that there wil be six races next year. There were 14 G...
