Buckster Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 So what are you lot doing, the weather forecast isn't good here but I have loads to do anyway, not limited to getting a picture of our new Prime Minister up in the library next to the picture of the King. Oh I just realised, I don't have a library. I'll have beer instead. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Rain, Motogp sprint, F1 qualifying. Shopping. Refitted the old oxygen sensor and cleared the code. Been to Beccles for some sausages in the week and no code returned but I've also fitted a 42 tooth rear replacing the 45 to the tracer, think it's messed something up as I can only use the cruise control in top gear. Basted electronics. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i haven't not sure if that will help or not the pilot jets are really small so doesn't take much for them to gum up, it doesn't happen on the XR or the dog and they have been left just as long on times 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 2 hours ago, Marcel le Moose Fondler said: What's with your fuel ? To much ethanol ? I only use E5 petrol which has 5% Ethanol, the E10 has 10% Ethanol. I read somewhere the older version of E5 could contain up to 5% ethanol but but not all of it did but now it does have 5% which shows when the bike is left for a while. The bike will still run on the same fuel that was in the tank it doesn't go off as in your engine wont run on it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Spent the morning out playing with the CBF. Feeling a little tender from yesterdays efforts over the community centre with a bar and some very nice people plying me with Doom Bar. Wouldn't have been a bad morning to go out for a bimble but not today. Absolutely messing around with minor stuff just put on a USB charger and changed back to the standard screen for an experiment. No issues with the taller screen just want to see what the standard one is like with that little defletor thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
