  1. One reconditioned Fuel Tap. Many thanks to LuckyPhil for the research and to MartyNZ for the technical skills. The black heater hose is for added purchase.

    This is my original fuel tap which I replaced a few years ago. The replacement started leaking a few weeks ago. I mentioned it to Marty and he said right lets have a go at fixing it. He needs polygrips on his fuel tap so my spare is going to him to make a replacement for his bike

  2. Replaced Needle roller bearing in right hand side of shaft drive. I had noticed a bit of latteral movement. Used slide hammer to get bearing out (Only look 10 light blows with hammer. Bearing had no grease in it just dirty water. Got local mechanic to press new bearing in.  Replaced missing washer. No movement now

  3. 21 hours ago, MartyNZ said:

    I went on a trip swapping between a Triumph Thruxton R and a Kawasaki W650. The R was the most planted bike I've ridden, and the W650 was fun, but needed more zip. 

    So for a run to the cafe on Saturday morning, I think the W800 would be great.

    I couldn't got past the Thruxton R if I couldn't have a Guzzi (V85TT)

  4. I'm away on a trip down east coast and back up west coast of South Island New Zealand. During 1st day of trip taco horn headlight brake light oil light stopped working.  I got going again by wiggling relays. But they died again. From Martynz we have worked out it relay number 2. I've tried the spare relays I've got but no go. I tried pushing the wires under relay . This worked until I put seat back.  I can get back home the way bike is. But we thought relay 2 handles charging of battery. In which case I could end up on side of road with a flat battery. Are we correct in thinking relay 2 does handle charging the battery? 

  5. I had Racetech Springs & valves fitted a few years ago

    From invoice springs fitted were 260Lx25.5IDx35.3OD 1.0Kg/mm

    I'm 100 kg plus 10kg of gear.

    I've just replaced fork oil and found I needed to build a fork compression tool to be able to completely drain the forks

    I copied one from Racetech's website tfsc01.jpg
