Good to see this, I had forgotten about Barleycorn. Any issues with switchgear looms? I am not creaking yet but the road surfaces are and leaning forward is not ideal.

Blessed as I am with both types of choke I find I start either bike from cold but quickly close them and set off.On my Sport I only flip one choke lever. On the cable choke again its only for cold start. Either way it’s only for no more than 20 seconds at the most. Gentle riding until warm though. M...

My K1 was harder to start on the kickstart initially. I measured the ignition coil resistance at 175 ohms. After it was rewound the bike starts easily by kick and starter motor.
I am overdue a cambelt change so will examine my chain.

I replaced my chain about 14 years ago. It was worn. I wonder if the chain snapped breaking the teeth of could a tooth have broken first? Either way it is a bit of a tricky situation.

A cut down white nozzle from a mastic tube makes excellent sleeving for seal protection, in this instance the camshaft and mainshaft for almost zero cost and are resusable.

Dental floss can work to get behind the badges but it depends how they are attached. Mine are glued on as the original pins are long since gone.

Measuring my old ( original? ) existing slider which is now grooved on its upper surface I got a width of 25mm except for the front mounting bosses which are 36mm across. I do not know if this matches the green one. I found this added fiddle time making one by hand. To keep cost down the CNC chap su...

I recently acquired a block of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene ( PE1000 is a similar material) with a view to making a chain slider. Nothing so elegant as a hacksaw, surform file and an M6 drill bit available. Ugly but functional, bit like me I suppose.After about 850 miles ( some in 35oC a...

And I was only in M&P on Friday, buying a new helmet in the sale.

Something I am yet to face but looks interesting. I have phoned them before and found them helpful .

The rubber items can be tricky if not the usual parts e.g. manifold rubber.
I have had to resort to going to the local yatch shop and getting keel support bocks and carving what I can from them. Not ideal though.

Eurocarb stock many Dellorto parts so guess that’s the first port of call. Alternatively KMT supply jets .

A pity I have no more space.
Standard ignition? Are you getting a spark on both plugs? Is the pickup magnet 180 degrees out?

I have been running Trailriders for over a year and around 7000 Km on a Coguaro. Front 3.00 x21 Akront rim 21” 1.85 Rear 110 80 x18 Akront rim 18” 2.5 These replaced Avon Distazias. It’s my understanding these were 50/50 road/offroad whilst the Trailriders are 90/10. I changed my rear sprocket from ...
