yellowperil Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Spent the whole weekend at Snetterton watching classic bikes racing. Absolutely freezing and mostly raining, but a good weekend. Lots of beer and vodka and a cosy bed in a campervan helped make it enjoyable. pilninggas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtd2000 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Well, for any of you that prefer a visual medium, here's a wee video of my clutch slave cylinder fiasco. Most of it was filmed but not every step of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 A picture of my Gamma. Just got it out and fired it up after parking it for a few months [my NC700 is my daily driver]: gamma.jpg Only noticed the other day, it's still got ticket - forgot i only mot'd it last July [i moved house last summer, so had a lot on]. It's insured and taxed, so is 100% road legal. Had planned on cleaning it, doing a few little jobs and putting on the 'bay. got it out, sat on it, started it; now not so sure. It's such an addictive little thing. ^^^ fyi it's got ebay viton seals in the carbs [after a massive carb spew-out not long after I got it] and chinese brake lines. I'm a tight fucker.... You lucky, lucky person. If you ever decide you are getting rid PLEASE roffle it on here. pilninggas and warren t claim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazoli Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I fitted some Michelin PR4's to the bike the other week and they got tested in a downpour today, unbelievable grip and totally confidence inspiring on wet greasy roads, I'm a convert, no more budget/old stock tyres for me, the difference is night and day, recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hooli Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I run PR4s on mine too, I'm a total wuss in the wet but they are so good & almost trust them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtd2000 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Well I fitted my new GPz550 Motad system to my ZR550. Goes on with no trouble at all, you just need the ZR550 hanger. Just waiting for my pal to bring the original system back (not sure if it's been welded yet or not) and then see how well I can refurbish it. Well that very same original exhaust arrived back to me this weekend...wasn't away for very long...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Got a MOT for the SR500 today. It was last on the road on 2006. Had to turn back first time as the carb was flooding, petrol fizzing on top of the crank cases with the heat off the engine. Proper shitting masel thought it was going to burst into flames. Got back home after the MOT and the ignition key is missing and the rear reflector is AWOL. Still feels good getting an old wreck sorted up and back on the road. Goes like stink as well. blackboilersuit, yellowperil and xtriple 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hooli Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Readjusted my throttle cables now they've bedded in today, odd how one had got loose & t'other tight. That & a bubble of oily gloop on a sensor should fix the crap running when cold, it never felt serious, just annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangernomics Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Looking for a cheapo stepthru for the back of the camper, anyone have one lurking? Obviously I’m not wanting a c90 for peanuts but an equivalent from Suzuki or Yam would be great. Needs more than 50cc as will be pulling about 20 odd stones two up plus French groceries. Tatty looking is cool as scrotes won’t steal it. NW would be nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtd2000 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Well that's the £4.77 Chinese hydraulic hose fitted. Clutch is now bled and operating as it should. The only blot was one banjo being slightly narrower, that involved slowly screwing in the bolt but seems OK otherwise. John F and Dave_Q 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
