Re: dropped a shim
you've cheered me up Higgy - I dropped a closer shim in my kitchen while replacing a bent valve and well, it's gone to the Bermuda triangle as far as I can make out.. I've searched and searched, emptied boxes twice, even tried a CSI approach as I know it hit the stool leg at least once on the way do...

Re: Bike for sale . . . What's it worth?
I think the standard versions are always going to be a little unloved despite having some beautiful touches to them. A lot of them seem to go on to be the basis for a 'special' it seems. Time of year in UK etc, I think he will struggle to get £1500 let alone another grand on top. There was a 750 nea...

Re: thread chasing

You have to be soo fussy going back to clean up any threads and they are often best left alone as it's so easy to 'tear' more material out rather than remove burrs loctite etc. I've had more success using a ...

Re: Rebuild/replace cylinder heads - help
Just as Keith said, and several afterwards - it could just be valve seat recession. Exhaust in particular is prone to this at around that mileage and so clearance becomes non existent. Also agree with what Keith said re: guides:- valves are well located with more than adequate valve guide surface ar...

Re: Mikuni ID
as suggested above Conor, remove the other idle mixture screw not just to use as a thread-checker on other carb, but because it needs a closer inspection in itself.. it shouldn't be sitting with the screw head exposed like that - it's usually quite recessed down it's 'tube'.
