my 325 was a beast i still think there the best 1 to have i regret selling mine but i do still have a 325 full motor that needs building.

nice job love it

inmotion recommend 50-1 or 40-1 i run all my bikes at 40-1 all moden oils are good take your pick castrole power 1 is good ipone strawbery is good putoline MX5 is good. like above its a big issue with some guys dont no what the flaping is about just bang it in and ride the bloody thing.

hi bleeper thanks i managed to get it off today wasnt easy i was going to wack the top but thought beter of it didt want to wreck the threads. i have dont this before but only twice ages ago. i couldnt really do it last night as i didnt have any room in the shed so i did it today on 2 blocks off wood. i heated the race up the cover was loose but mangled so i gor a big flat ended drive with a lump hammer and just ket taping it all the way round took a wile had to heat it up a few time but got there in the end i didnt do any real damage just some paint came off but am having them vapor blasted them powder coated

hi mate my forks are being rechromed so the Kurlarld part wont be there. ive only ever took 2 bottom races off before the 1st 1 was a paine i had to do the same with a blow lamp the 2nd came off easy but this 1 is a pain i will need a new dust cover ive mangled it ill have to get the blow lamp on it. ive took abit off paint off i may get them powder coated along with my fork legs cheers.

hello all why i have my forks off the 199B i took the yokes off to grease the bearings they look worn also they grind abit so i have some off the pymid roller bearings. anybody fited these before? also whats the best methrod to get the botom race and dust cover off the stem? and dose it need the dust cover with this typ off bearing?

hi i havant sprayed it mate it was like that when i bought it. the clutch covers the same ive trye quit a few over the last few years the 1 off inmotion is good jve donn my 198A barrel in it looks nice. i first warmed the barrel up with an heat gun then gave it 7 thin coats heating inbetween coats on the final coat i sick it in the oven for 1 and a half houres on 170-180 then let it cool down. you can buy the pj 1 satin flat black again now i bought 5 cans not cheap at £14 each but its the best ive used i will do both exhausts and the 198A bottom end in it in summer tho cant spray in cold weather its got to be warmer as i do all my spraying out side. so i will have to wait my 198B was done in pj 1 satin flat black looks the same as the 199b

hello all got the cylinder head bolted down today forks and exhaust to to back on yet should be a few weeks before its all done

not got a clue dabster this work had been done when i bought the bike.

stu no probs i forgot to say the S/Arm on mine as also been lenthend.

stue hears some photos the distance between the pivot point and the reat axel is just short of 18 and a half inches the distance between the pivot point is 1 and a half inches forward from the reae.

hi stu i will do it tomorrow for you the pluger bolt on mine has been shaved down to allow the Arm to come forward. the pivot point also has been done ill get the measurement of that to. the head stock has been done also the bike dose turn prity tight. who ever did the work on the bike looks like its been done well.

hello Graham thanks for the info the fork legs off the 199B are the beta ones wich only takes 1seal each side the depth is just the standard size 35x47x10 i do have some morden seals with the modern just caps but in order for them to fit i would have to have them machind to take the depth off the just cap. i was going to have this done buy the guy said he would damage the powder coating on the leg so ive leaft it.and am just puting standard seals back in. the forks are away being rechromed.

hi joe yes some photos will be nice.

i may send the seals back and buy some proper sealsjust to make sure

thanks guys the seals are 35x47x10 ive matched them up to the old ones they look the same size. my concern was its got opening on both sides with the spring however on 1 side the is also a flat outer edge to tap the seal in the leg. the kit came with the original rubber dust boots cost £16 so not bad for the kit comes with red rubber grease.

hello all as anybody bought these seals? just wouldering if there any good the seals are double lipet will these be ok? my forks only take 1 seal each leg they are beta fork legs. hears a photo.

good addvice guys manny thanks. i dont ant to ruin a good piston and bore eigther so i will follow your addvice cheers.

hello all ive just has mt 199B rebored with new piston 2nd 1 how should i run the new piston in? the bike is not back together yet as am waiting for other parts.

Graham thanks for the info.am not just ready to do it yet so got time to think wich way i will do it

hi use castrol power 1 it was a replacment for castrol TT i also use putoline MX5 at 40-1 i have ipone semi synthetic strawbery is ok to.

hi woody sorry to butt in but am just in the the middel off doing my 199B and will be doing the clutch ive got the new friction plates how do i set the center grub screw? i was told bottom it then back it of quarter of a turn. if i rember i think the throw out ball as worn down so will replace it.

hello stue yes thats anothe option am looking at.

hello pigbog no the 199B should be the same as your 198B but my 199B has been moded i could take the swing Arm off but am not going to id have to have it powder coated. my other 199B and 198B have the bracket same as yours. theres a few ways i can sort it with out taking it off. 1 is to leave it as it is with the rubber thats been wrapt around the boss. 2 is to have a U shaped made to house the slipper i could selfe tape this on with out the need of welding or i could glue it on as Graham said. i could get a nice neat U shaped piece made and would do the job well but this would mean drilling 2 small holes into the swing Arm wich i didnt really want to do but i sopose 2 small hole wount do any damage. its not a big issue as the bike dosant get hammerd. thanks for the photo. ive just put new piston in my 199B its under going a small restore including forks rechromed exhaust repacked. new tyres.
