Re: Frame repair……..

Re: Frame repair……..

Those splines are definitely a Suzuki weak spot. It's bloody annoying on my X7. I have a not quite as bad shaft for it, but the engine has just been rebuilt (before I got the replacement shaft, which are like hens' teeth) and it's running quite nicely! Eric, you are doing a great job. You missed th...

I've had a chat to Eric and I'll collect it off you John. I'll be in contact as soon as I can ride again.

Re: 400 Katana eBay

Glad that was too far away for me to buy it!

With JohnD sorting the carb issue and a new CDI not too expensive, these may be a good buy now?

Re: Fixing time!

If Tigcraft wants the seat, I can collect from you (and return your tent) and deliver to him. I'm planning on visiting him in the next couple of months.

Re: one year review.

Hi Smallkat. Short answer, I have a set ready to go, didn't cost me much other than quite a bit of time, so, yes, I would be happy to pass them on. Longer answer. I have picked up, for free, a Bandit VC. Needed a total strip and renovation but is ready for the road. I bought these from a GS650, the...

Re: Replacing Mikuni BDST 32 carburettors with type BS 32.

Hi John,

Thanks so much for this comprehensive post.

Sorry for the delay in my reply, but I've been recovering from an operation.

Do you still have a set of bowls/floats for the 550 carbs that I can buy from you?

Regards,

Dean
