It's been unregistered for lack of funds since Sept last year. . Borrowing some cash from family to rego it, sell then replace the borrow, tedious but necessary!

Triple post this time cos I'm tired and forget stuff..

People may gasp and carry on about the following...

I have mentioned before about how I was deliberately using e10 in the bike. . With no apparent ill effects, apart from replacing fuel lines which may have needed doing anyway. .

Bike has sat with half a tank of the stuff since Sept 2014, looked in there... no fungus, no 'compost', no rust.... started bike, no gurgling, no stuttering, no miseries... revved it a bit. . Still no drama. ..

Granted I expect that when doin registered and I can have a bit of a ride. . The old fuel might make the bike a little sluggish, but any type of old fuel can do that...

I'm gonna take a sample out of the lines and check it too... before riding. ..

I suspect there won't be as many devastating moments/discoveries as folk make out!?

So there! Lol. ..

If things do go bad I will accept told you so's. .. but reckon that won't be necessary!

So double there! :p

Ah, I see. Some fiscal responsibility. I respect that!

Here in the USA, us Yanks simply follow Obama's lead and spend into oblivion.
Soon I'll need to barrow money from China just like Obama does.  >:(

No you won't need to borrow anything!, they will invade the world and we won't have three fifths of fuckall! Lol? I think?

Malfruen

Rice and...whatever else those lot feed themselves with. That's all we will have.

Oh, and CFMotos. No Suzuki, Kawasaki, Honda or Harleys. Just CFMoto the whole way.

I reckon I'd kill myself :P

peteGS

Oh I'm sure we'll have Hyosungs as well...

And got 67.5 mid main and 155 main jets in last night, hopefully she's got no flat spot and not lean up top today!

... and why do you lot think we would be allowed motorbikes? ... lol. . "You!, westerner scum! , you walk! , you catch bus! .. motor only for illustrious homeland people! ... now you clean toilet and after read communist manifesto again"

Ok it may be extreme. .. but invasions are not huggy kissy events!?

Electrojake

Heh... I been waiting for the boys from ISIS to show up, not the Chi-Com's.

Besides, China make all the cool iPhones iWatches, Ipads, etc... Slave labor is mighty cheep.  ;)

Or not double..  ej!

But now double so Nyah!

But Janx, the search option is all the way in the top right hand corner of the screen! It's soooooo much work to click it, and type in my search and hit enter!

Not that it matters. A lot of the newer ones are quite happy to disregard the advice of the older users and throw a tanty when they don't get the answer they wanted.

.... hang on. ... :confused: the WHAT? option?! ... lmao

Malfruen

I'm sure the same thing runs through some peoples heads all the time.

"I can do WHAT on this forum?!"

peteGS

People are losers... what can I say? Oh wait, I'm people... errr... oh well... hahahahaa

New jets in, still got a flat spot  :technical:

Needles lifted to highest position last night but gonna be a lot of rain today/tomorrow so it'll be an interesting test ride to work...

How much of a flat spot?... little hundred rev lag or 2k slump?

peteGS

Well needles are too high because she bogs right when the throttle opens... horrible... then she goes then she almost immediately hits the stumbling point...

When I get her through it and the throttle open she feels choked up...

I'm so frickin confused!!!!

I need to some time check out a potential exhaust leak and then get the carbs off and get some carb cleaner and compressed air through all the passages like I should've done in the first place... what's to bet I was wrong and there is some gummed up fuel in there somewhere?

Gummed ... air or fuel leak... a seal not quite right?

Better you than me! Carbs woulda gone 'fwip fwip whoosha crash bang' over the back fence by now if it was me?

peteGS

You've no idea how close they are to doing just that Janxy!!! So over spending so much time on this...

Ran it for a few minutes yesterday, can't detect an exhaust leak from either header.

Ducked up to Supercheap and bought a can of carb and throttle body cleaner... I'd prefer to do a full and proper dip but I need her back on the road tomorrow.

They're coming off the bike today and getting dismantled and gonna get a spray through every circuit, let it soak for a bit, do it again, then blow through with compressed air.

I'm thinking my problem is going to be the mixture screws... they sit vertically from underneath so what's to bet even though the float bowls were drained there's gummed up fuel in there because there's no way for that to drain without removing them.

I knew I should've cleaned the carbs before putting them on... and I hope that's all the issue is!
