Sir Fallsalot Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Been tinkering with the XR most of the day ready for a TRF ride on Monday Put the new Non gay tyre on the off road wheel as it doesn't make sense to wear out a nobbily tyre on hard ground, The rockrider was a bitch to fit and couldn't get it to sit on the bead properly no matter how much lube i used or how hard i got it, hoping the ride on Monday will sort that out. Next was to fit a new front sprocket and then i had to sort a drippy carb. After removing the float bowl and float valve i found what looked like a bit of hard plastic before the float valve must have fallen in the open fuel pipe when i had the tank off the other week, while i was in there i also changed the pilot jet to see if i could get rid of the flat spot off idle that's been there forever, went from a 55 to a 58 pilot jet because that's what i had, seems have made a big improvement but everything i read on line says it should be a 60 so may pick one up and try it. Late afternoon me and the wife went out in the marmite wagon to give it a run stopped in The Black Cock Inn Caerphilly Mountain for a pint on the way home, when i was there 4 lads pulled in on those sur-ron's no plates and seemed oblivious to the fact they are not legal to ride on the roads without a licence tax MOT and insurance, now i'm sat in the house downing a few bottles of suds adding to the crap on here 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must be a really hard tire, like the Heidenau I used to use or the Mitas I have now. No tire fitter ever loved those tires 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best not to ride them in that case as they're usually closed for a good reason and you could end up losing the use of it forever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
