No me been out for a couple of hours on it today and checked the float bowl no sign of it returning hoping to have a full day on it tomorrow

Honda say all of their bikes built from 1993 on will run on E10 but i'm sticking with E5 when i can

It was like creamy between my fingers with some bits of grit

Hence my cast iron comment
-
Not really but that is actually heavy for that type of bike look at this chinky bike better looking and about 40kg lighter https://bikez.com/motorcycles/mash_dirt_track_650_2019.php

No Top Box how did you manage
-
yes i know but as said not always available so been using both, E5 is what i use if available

Not a clue spent the last 3 hours doing keyhole surgery taking the float bowl off the carb without removing it. Had a blocked idle jet which is now clear so the bike picks up a lot better off idle now. I've checked the tank again all looks clean and there's filters in there which wouldn't let that slime through, I did think it was my temp tank i use when the fuel tank is removed but that's clean and also has a filter so i'm at a loss. Another thing that did cross my mind is this new E10 fuel so i checked the carb on the XR and that is fine as well, going for a spin now and will keep an eye on it see if it happens again

They must still be making them out of cast iron that's a heavy bike for a naked 650 single
-
I wondered if anyone would be bored enough to pick up on that. I also read it after i took it
-
I dipped my fingers in and it did have that sort of consistency except there was something gritty as well

Took the bike out to warm it up for an oil change tonight and the bloody thing went all fluffy on me for a short while so when i got home i took the float bowl sump bolt out for a look, I think I've found out why the bike died on me on the way home last ride What the fuck is that shit the carb was spotless when i put the bike back together and so is the tank. The crap in the plastic container was in there as well

Probably at this stage now

That's surprising because he's always polishing something

Hell of a crowd

I had a seagull take a corned beef pastie out of my hand when i was a kid if i had got hold of the fucker it wouldn't have flown again, it wasn't often we were treated to what was to us fast food as a kid so it was a real treat that i didn't get to have, i think i cried for about week

Book Club - What are you reading at the moment?
Sir Fallsalot replied to Grasshopper's topic in GENERAL CHAT
When i was in infants school i used to love reading Asterix books and i had many a row off the teacher for giggling to myself in class and was told many times to stop reading and pay attention probably contributed to the reason i don't read anything now -
Your edit is cheating
-
What am i too thick to understand an explanation
-
It would still have to have a bike in it though or your car boot scene of your shopping trip to Albox would qualify
