    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have just fitted a new motad 4 into 1, lovely sound and looks well, cylinders 1 and 3 seem to be running a bit hotter as the pipe out of these is bluer compared to the other 2, what causes this and is it any harm
 
The Motad is a fairly 'benign' pipe in that it doesn't really affect any of your original settings - a straight replacement. So the pipe almost certainly hasn't changed things.

In my experience Motads also tend to blue fairly quickly around the collars - the chrome they use I guess.

However, if it is running hot it's worth checking for air leaks on your carb rubbers - airbox to carbs and carbs to head.

I take it the bike runs well otherwise?
