    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.

Take a gamble, get valves re-cut/lapped or cheap new head?

Good stuff, sounds like you're getting somewhere! At least you're learning where the issues are now and hopefully you can knock them on the head one by one and have a sweet ride :D
 
Fixed the bastard. There WAS an airleak between a cv cap and a carb body as well as a slight airleak on the o-ring on the idle needle on the same carb. As this made the one cylinder run well before the other and messed the idle sync up and impossible to sort out. Also it turns out that the throttle cable adjustment was out a bit as well, which was my cockup :o.

Looking forward to payday so i can re-register it & take her out for a blast :twistedevil:
 
Now that's what I call progress! Well done, bet you can't wait to just get on and ride that thing... :dancing:
 
Congrats! I hope the registration process is an easier road for you.

Registration is a piece of cake, I have already taken it down to my local mechanics for the inspection. I was there for about half an hour just chatting away and the actual inspection itself took about 5 minutes as as long as all the buttons and lights work, the tires are within legal limits, it doesn't look like it's about to implode, isn't leaking oil and it's not obscenely loud, it'll pass muster easily. All i have to do is just hand over fist-fulls of cash and I'm done.

They knew there was an idle/airleak i was trying to sort out and took it into account merely as an annoyance and not a registration-stopper. Even then it wasn't *that* loud, would just run up to about 3krpm and annoy me more than anyone else.

Been busy the last few weeks and haven't had a chance to take her out until today. Went for Took her out for a decent length test ride today and the problem has gone, thank God.

Next up is investigating the motard conversion :twistedevil:, got the bits, just have to figure out the logistics :-s.
 
Good to hear she's sorted :D

Motard conversion? You need to expand on that...
