So? Goatse you have to understnadn something...if you don't have my
permission then you can't post anywhere. I mean for crying out loud I
told you to NOT go to sturgis and you stayed hom like the little
cowardly pedo that you are. So, I'll make it real simple for you. Get
off of usenet...NOW boy. Or I'll quiet paying your mother and she'll
just have to do the donkey show for free from now on.

 


Drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh CLEAN fuel. That means put
it on reserve and let it sit...tilt it to the side where the petcock
is. Then put in a quality fuel system cleaner. In the states the
prefered stuff is called SEAFOAM, not sure what is available where you
live but whatever the guys at a marina use can't hurt.

If that doesn't help you will either end up rebuilding the carbs or
having it done.

As for handling I'd check ALL the bushing the headstock bearing etc
for excessive wear. There are some good tutorials on the web for
checking these things. Unless your tyres are worn it isn't the
tyres...no matter what that fraud 'schwarzesonne' aka krusty kritter
says, he is an unskilled fraud that parrots what he reads and usually
gets compleately wrong.

 



SeaFoam is just about worthless for cleaning out motorcycle fuel
systems because it's just a light, straw-colored oil to free up seized
pistons from rusty cylinders and isopropyl alcohol that will absorb
water.

The hot mix for cleaning motorcycle fuel systems in the USA is
Berryman B-12 Choke and Carburetor Cleaner which is a powerful mixture
of methyl alcohol, toulene, xylene, and acetone which will cut right
through gum and varnish.

B-12 comes in liquid form and in an aerosol can for about $3.50 a
Wal*Mart.


You can spent hours and hours looking for mechanical problems and
discover in the end it's just a matter of suspension setting and tire
pressure *adjustment*.

 


Nope. I was replying to YOUR assinine assertion that SeaFoam was a
good carb cleaner.

And I know *exactly* where to find ewe, goatse...

 

Firstly, thank you for all the replies. Hopefully these issues can be
fixed.


I'm not running the bike on choke, I just said it didn't make a
difference. I think it's just being tempermetal when it hasn't run for
a while, but it's a relatively new issue. Maybe I'm not running it as
often as I used to.


I think I'll give this a go as it will certainly do the bike some
good. I have cleaned out the carbs before but I haven't done anything
to the tank, filter or fuel hoses.


I'll give that a go before taking the carbs apart again. It's not so
much hastle taking carbs apart, just getting they in/out og the bike
due to the rubber etc. It's a biatch.


I am aware of this and it is not the problem. My bike used to be fine,
it was fine up to about 100mph (rarely take it faster) with no issues.
The issue I have is not just normal bike riding.


This can't be the case because it occurs when riding in a straight
line as well as learnt over.


I am familiar with the bike when it was working better. True, it could
be caused by my recent change in tyres but it certainly doesn't feel
right.


Again, this has been done (although not recently, and it has sat for a
little while).


During this summer I've done the front wheel bearings, rear wheel
bearings (inc sprocket), swingarm bearing and the linkage bushes. I
haven't replaced the cushdrive but it looks alright. I had a friend
have a quick look at the headstock bearing whilst I pushed down on the
seat and he said it was fine, but then I might go have a look for
myself (as it sounds like that might be the issue).


I will be taking the bike to a garage soon to check that all the bolts
etc that were done up when the bearings/bushes were done are done up
to the correct torque. I'm not an expert but there doesn't seem to be
any play in the rear end.


See above.

Basicaly I'll take a look at the fuel system and the bearings and see
what I can do. I have been planning to sort out the shock and forks at
some point soon as they are probably knackered by now. Do you think a
knackered shock could effect the handling in this way.

Thanks again for the wisdom. I'll let you know how I get on.
