Thanks for the info. I think its a combination of both as I use different carbs for events (Amal pre 65 Scottish, Kiehn rest of time) Definatly uses fewer plugs on the Kiehn than Amal, but still getting the jetting right so it might improve. I can feel when the plug is going "off" about 5 mins before it expires. I use a foam air filter and getting the same amount of oil through it consistently probably doesnt help.

Generally considered to be a better quality bike, which in the longer term / resale is important.
Got a loan of a friends and ridden it twice, really impressed, cant fault it.
Alot of brand loyalty on here, so you have to make the decision. Also depends on the price/condition.

Harvey Nicholls were selling "distressed" Barbours for

Any way of telling if its a rich mixture, or burning oil, thats killing plugs ?
-
I only made the comment as programmable traction control seems to defeat the whole purpose of trials.

-
Agreed, its just that change doesnt = improvement.
-
I cant wait for ABS and traction control, some of the other "improvements"
-
Warranty claim. I wouldnt be spending money on a 4 week old bike to cure a problem like this, if you hav'nt touched the carb and done anything that could have caused the problem.

No, but the ability to adapt to different conditions was rider controlled rather than rocker switch, it was part of the fun.

When I was a lad that was called a throttle.

When do you do any real work ?

Snowseal from any walking shop works pretty well. Its also about feeding and conditioning the leather, as much as waterproofing.
-
I ran at 32:1 for 20 years, same piston, same main bearings. You have to make the decision if the nano second in engine response is worth changing bearings/pistons if you run at 80:1.

5 & 4, whatever the conditions.

What a great site, very rare that companys are prepared to give so much information.
-
Get any reputable brand, fairly tight and stick some plastic shin / knee protectors down the inside. In my opinion, if it isnt hard plastic it wont really do anything.

Most of that is very nice (purist) How does it grip ? Whats are the tank and forks ? Really like the nickel frame, ball park cost and who did it please.
-
They talk about a nomial fee, can you define ?
-
I second that, main bearings also seam to last a lot longer. (see Beta thread)
-
Use decent quality silicon, screwfix do a sanitary silicon for about
-
Great pics, could be Scotland.
