    carb booth issue

    kinda hard to replace cos i cant find them.. i think i might pluck the metal bits out,cut off the small ends off of two old 134;s that i have, weld them on the metal bits then use auto hose to couple the carbs.

    Chain guard question

    they are easy to find. almost any machine of the same size ones will fit with som minor mods of course. but yes check that the bolt in the swingarm that fasten it hasent snapped. if the are then u need a drill to get it out and u may ned to use a nut and bolt setup afterwards to get it back on.

    Oil Filter Bolt Stuck!

    mi thinks the reason why they are so hard to budge is the fact that some people tend to tighten them with the force of thor's hammer. they dont need to be so tight fellas. also if there is a brass washer under it, replace it if its worn before putting it back up.

    i have taken the advice of drewpy and a few others about bridging out the sidestand switch by twining the wires together etc so that the motor will not shut down upon engaging a gear. well it didnt work. but upon inspecting the opperation of the switch i realised that when the actuater is...
