Hi All, I have had my bike for 3 years now and it has never run right. I am currently the closest I have ever been, but still have some problems. If I try and use more than about 3/4 throttle the engine just bogs right down and won't pull any more, however below 3/4 throttle it will rev all...

I run a 120 Pirelli Mandrake on the back of my bike, seems fine. The only time it has ever fouled on the chain guard is when I got a puncture.

Hi, The po of my bike damaged the threads in the left hand cylinder :doh: and I need a new one. If anybody has got one for sale I would be greatfull Thanks

Still got my little honda from before i passed my test, needs a rebuild though.

When mine did that it was just because the throttle stop screw was too far in, depends what choke setting your using though.

I don't know, i might have to look at getting it re-done properly, because this doesn't seem the best solution

Yeah, The PO put Dunstall exhausts on it. The mechanic says that's why it pulled at 42hp. And I see, that's not good? so far I have only been riding it so that the butterfly valve does not open further than he needles rise up. I hope. What damage does a weak mixture do? And yes I did Email...

I could, but I ride a noisy bike through a city centre every morning. I cant afford to get stopped by the police because I will loose my license, which sucks even more than having a slow bike

everything else was good, apart from the restrictors :(

I will give it a go, Thanks

Yeah, that's the thing, it should only be 5hp, but i was riding up a hill today at 47 and couldn't go any faster, which cant be right. My honda 125, which is knackered, could go faster than that.

yeah, although I have passed my test, I am still restricted to 33 bhp for 2 years because I am 17. sucks

nope, its a sohc, with dunstall cans on it. but I'm still sceptical of the readings the guy gave me. He put spacers on top of the needles, to stop the rising up very far, so I don't think its possible to sort the problem out, as its simply not getting enough fuel through when the throttle is...

I have just had to have my bike restricted to 33bhp, it was at 42. the problem is that whenever i hot 60mph it develops a misfire, and won't pull any more. has anyone else ever had this problem? and if so how did you fix it? Also is it normal for these bikes to find a 'spare' neautral between...

oh ok? I haven't actually looked at how that part of the bike comes apart... i will do it Friday

ok? so is it imperative that i take the bottom half of the engine apart to sort that? or do you think when i start using the bike it will go away?

ok, sounds good :) hopefully it will disappear when I start using it, if not i will try a hot change. will be on the road soon as I done my test :)

Hmm Thanks Guys Will have a look next time im down the shed

My 81' sohc xs has one of the oil windows to check the oil level, but it is all scummed up on the inside with white deposits. Is there a way of cleaning it without splitting the crankcase? as i have no dipstick If anyone else has had this problem and has fixed it please share :thumbsup:

Also can anyone who has one of these bikes tell me what sort of mpg you get?
