    ‘Balance’ exhaust gases exiting question

    Don't think its important at all. You may find you get some inversion (think they call it) where one pipe actually sucks in some air in (like a venturi), this may explain the color difference There is a post somewhere about this and it was effecting a wide band 02 sensor at idle. Just think...

    Mass shooting in Christchurch.

    One think that comforts me when rubbish happens is the way people here deal with it. The cops aren't regularly dealing with this stuff. The hospital staff don't deal with gunshot wounds very often but you can bet the people are in good hands and the service will have stepped up. Big respect...

    Prospective Rocket Owner!

    I am 6'4" and 200lb and only bike I have ever really "fit" properly. Found stock "ranch slider" windscreen terrible but got a cleaview and this sorted it (fits stock screen frames). Added better quality 1" longer rear shocks (your wife will thank you) and raised seat height a bit too. If your...

    Exhaust leak

    I had some sealing issues with my stock bike with stock header, and my Viking Header, both were solved by throwing away the old used factory gaskets and scrounging some alloy ones "the banned one" had laser cut. Cleaned ports out well, fitted Viking gaskets and instant seal on both bikes.

    Mass shooting in Christchurch.

    This is terrible worse than initial reports. Lot of these people were immigrants and refugees who moved here to escape violence.

    Mass shooting in Christchurch.

    I have paintball on Sunday. There's a mosque right near to the field. Thinking i might leave the camo, magfed marker and pistol at home. Take the electric marker (raygun) and wear bright colors. Or just not go. If your missus is at Chch hospital she may be while getting home.

    Yep this is a problem you can maneuver the loom and get it out from under the tank but it can fall back under and get hot making idling rough. I have plugs, pins and wiring and can make extension leads for them so its easy to relocate the sensor.

    So There I Was

    That motor looks pretty unmolested for its age, the gasket surfaces don't looked butchered, no ones cut the primary case to fit higher gearing either. The clutch baskets groove up pretty easily and you can file them out (the service manual even says that) but parts are plentiful and cheap...

    Hi Nat My 4040's are set up like this using silicone hoses and some carefully cut PVC pipe from our workshop however even tipped forward my knee still does hit them but its a compromise I'm prepared to live with. When cutting the blue hoses the trick is that every pipe is a different length...

    Odd Bike Cutting Out Issue
