main air jets are not removeable if you spray carb cleaner down it it should come out of 2 places 1st is the carb venturi, it should come out past the needle 2nd place is inside the float bowl, it should come out of the main jet the flow should be very strong, if its a weak stream, or it fails to co...

best of luck with it all, i used to help out in one in coventry many years ago, dont let people take the piss with your tools, or your time... DIY means you do it and get to make it cheap...doesnt mean it will be done for you by the owners of the business on the cheap. Ive no problem helping out a m...

Magnetic spark plug sockets are what you need...wonderous things!

im going to try one on my zxr400 when it all gets put back together, you need the heatsink + fan ones, about 3000 or so lumens will do it, the only issues ive seen are reg/rec issues due to the decreased load your reg/rec needs to dump more excess power as heat and that can cause issues. the reviews...

easiest way to do the cam timing is to use a bit of marker pen/nail polish and put a tiny mark on your chain and on your cams, as long as you dont then rotate your crank (which you should be able to do) you just re-align your marks and your good to go...

never known one to fail on a race bike with a stripped down loom... the diaphragm pumps cant pump against a pressure gradient anyways, so they cut out if the back pressure gets too high (i.e. your float bowls are full). the only reason for running a cdi-based fuel relay is longer life from the fuel ...

grease gun is magic by the way...8000psi of joy...just remember to change your bleed nipple for a proper fitting grease nipple or else you will have a right bastard of a time getting it off/crying when it snaps :D if you do go down this route and dont want to waste grease/have to clean and fish it o...

you are on the limit for the intakes and just over the limit on some of the exhaust valves. as you already have access to the top of the engine i would go one size down on all your exhausts to bring them into spec, so if you find a 1.80mm shim, you go down to a 1.75mm and that will increase your gap...

when you bridge the starter contacts (say with an insulated spanner in your hand) you are sending power directly to the starter motor from the battery. as your motor doesnt turn when you do this you either have a break down one of the battery wires (so battery to starter soenoid, solenoid to starter...

Jay- Breather hose is a good point, noticed there wasn't on on the rocker but it looks OK. Stig- I always put a smear of sealant on rubber gaskets but will take extra notice around the half moons. Can never understand why some people put on gasket seal like they're silconing a bath... ...ive actual...

OEM for HG...you cn go athena/patern parts for the others as they are less important, but OEM all the way, should last 40-50k miles

there are always pockets of air in the cooling system that require a bit of a blast to remove them. before you go down HG route i would refil your coolant, refil your expansion bottle and go for another 30min-1hr spirited ride, leave it to cool for several hours and when its fully cool go back and r...
