I find that the bike,a K of 82 vintage is often reluctant to fire up from the starter motor,and the kickstart from cold but will immediately run from a roll on the hill, where it then runs OK. I have tried with one or both choke levers up.I have so far cleaned the carbs and fuel pathway,though not b...

I used fell on my preceeding 8 British bikes by which time I had it about right. Still I am endeavouring to use my trusty Norbar wrench at similar but slightly less settings to equivalent sized bolts he teutonic beast. It's all good fun though.

Looks lovely-I have the K1 type with the black rather than chrome theme. Not sure if I have settled with no chrome but I will keep it as it was intended.I have been trying to get all the cabling and hydraulic pipework routed correctly so all these photo's are a help. Are the chrome strips on the tan...

I just did my oil for the 1st time. The sump plug was some kind of steel,rather than brass of a non metric size around 20mm. I had an Imperial socket that did the job.No rubber,copper of fibre washer just a big flange/washer on the plug. Bit gritty so I cleaned the threads . Did oil filter(why does ...

Replying to myself-if I had read the other posting on engine oil I would have saved my time!

Tank now done and no leaks, though the bottom edges have a black plastic trim which looks suspiciously like a rust trap to me so filled the channel up with waxoyl before replacing them. I have cable tied up all the wiring separately from the control cables and with a combination of heatshrink and pe...

That wheel is an italian boat anchor by the looks. I hope you get it sorted soon.

Hi Simon- I am sorry that I beat you to the draw.It doesn't happen much on Ebay these days,not that I have attempted to buy anything other than BMW bits and clothing in the past. Having just lost my virginity a couple of weeks ago I am still in a sort of daze,wondering if I liked it or not. I have s...

Thanks for that.Not sure if they are the same either as yet. I have locked the offending casting into a block of epoxy in a bodge-bid to keep it together for now.

What is the correct route for the large diameter crankcase breather pipe which emerges to the rear of the engine.
Also I have a crack in the clutch lever pivot handlebar assembly. Do I assume this will be an expensive item to replace.Anyone got a spare?

Thanks for the info- in fact I decided to go for it yesterday evening, having not read your reply. I dropped the whole fork legs down. Fairly simple. getting the left one back up again proved more troublesome as it was tight in the upper yolk at first. I managed with all the skill I could muster to ...

Deal all I have recently acquired a 350 after many many years of wanting one. It is a "k" prefix frame type on a "Y" plate. Having ridden it 180 miles sans mirrors to get home I have already a list of must do's,after changing underpants. First up is replace those old fork dust co...
