Exup 1000

I was hoping it wasn't a valve but feared the worst. Lucky boy

Turns out it was the replacement coil that a garage fitted a couple of years ago, I had a spare genuine coil swapped it and problem gone ran fine. The coil was corroded around the screw terminals where the lead connects in the coil. Don't know why it would fire at odd intervals but it did (probably ...

Hi all Have a strange one, with the throttle closed i have a ring of blue and a chuff around the throttle flap in #1 carb intermittently and randomly 1 2 3 4 ,sec intervals with no real pattern. I would have thought that if it was a valve it would do it all the time. The bike. just started running r...

Cheers creedxup if you lived nearer I would buy you a pint mate. You saved me a fortune in wasted time getting new cams that would be the same as the ones I have.

Its probably just me or is the manual in the tech section only small and does not cover the cams, or it there one somewhere else. Yup you right I am that thick.
Cheers

Cheers chap will download the genuine one. Haynes nearly good enough.

Hi all had the cams out for the valve service the other day and foolishly measured the cam lobes. Haynes manual says the limit is 32.9 mine are all 32.5 - 32.6 on the inlet cam. Anyone else measured theirs to see if this is normal. The exhaust cam lobes were all 33. somat so seemed ok. I cant see an...

They should all the handlebar and brake lines but. Check the bore size of the master cylinder (its normally cast on the underside of the main body) it will be either imperial or metric. I have been using a 19mm bore brembo master cylinder with blue spot calipers from an 03 R6 and that's a significan...

Have a set fitted, they do lift the seat quicken and the steering (6'4") which is nice but also make the rear shock soft so you may need to fit a stiffer spring to the rear shock. Good cheap mod though.

forgot to say blue spots came from a 03 R6 5SL model

Quick update Fitted blue spots (from a , and found a cheapish 19 bore radial brembo master cylinder. Needed to fit a goodridge hydraulic switch for the brake light Also used a hel 90 deg fitting so you could use your standard fittings or I usedG oodridge buildaline kits 2x 675mm (could use 650 but i...

Cheers Folks i will give the r1 master cylinder a go as they are readily available and cheap.
(want to keep a lockeed MC for another project) thanks for the info

Thinking of blue spots from an R1 on me RU, cause they are cheaper than seals and pistons. Any suggestions for a better (more modern) master cylinder pairing.

Tried most things settled on Bridgestone BT016 pro last average miles, grip well in all weather and they are cheap (comparatively). Demon tweeks were doing a deal on pirelli diablos last time I looked. As for size you cant go wrong with the 120/70 180/55. Did have a set of conti attacks on last and ...

Had the rear wheel out the other day and with a tyre disc etc the wheel weighs 16kg, had me mates R6 round and the wheel in that weighs 12, so there are gains to be had here i think. Thoughts gratefully received
