Trick is to sign up for addresspal and give the proper phone and email. Have it shipped to your home through that, the shipping often works out cheaper :D (the US goes by weight from €15 to €55 but the UK is a flat rate of €6.50 no matter what the weight and its up to 20kg), ask the shipper to incl...

Result :D Wont lie, near shat myself when i saw them, about €150 to my door from the states but the shocks were the real score, €260 to my door from Germany. There is another set there if anyone is looking? You mind me asking, how much is the duty etc. on the €150 from the states to Ireland. I’m lo...

Fair play! Thank you.

I recently had to swop out a starter. I got a new spurious one but thought with three bikes using the same unit I Should look at getting it reconditioned, plus it would be original. Anyway I dropped it into an auto electric to see if they could do it. After about three weeks they recon then can’t ge...

Afternoon Guys, Firstly let me start by saying a big thank you to all who contributed in helping me solve the original leak issue, it proved to be poorly made pattern parts. I ended up buying full new Keyster gasket kits from Nigel and replaced everything from the kit, this cured the overflowing ca...

Hi Stu, I had a similar discrepancy after reassembly of my 1000r. I was advised that minor variation is to be expected and when the top guide thightens down it may improve the alignment. I know it’s done know but I managed to change the starter in an A2 a few weeks ago without removing the chain adj...

Chris,
I recently got a bank of black BS34’s due to an issue I had with no 3 carb. Pretty sure I have what you need.
Pm me when you get a chance

The Kawasaki worrkshop manual says; "arcing distance should be 7mm or better" using the 'Kawasaki Elecrotester'. I dont think there is any question about the ignition once it establishes itself, its my thought that you have a poor connection which prevents it initialising in the first pla...

I'm caught for time and not really getting a run at this, but I put a coil/spark tester on no. 4 (because it was convenient). The spark would only jump across 12mm or so which, if the print on the tester is accurate is less ten 20K volts.is this in the range I should expect? Also the spark does not ...

Great job Phillips,
A different Green Meanie!

Manual tap is a better bet in my view. At least it works if the engine isnt running!!!! Assuming it does work as intended.. The vac port on mine is not connected and i just use the PRI position. AL Cheers Al, I was hoping someone would chime in saying that it may be an issue. She is starting today ...

I've been trying to figure out what could be the issue. As once it runs it runs fine so not like an intermittent fault, but it dose affect starting. As I said in a previous post, the bike came with a second body kit. The Blue and Silver, this was actually the original. The R1 colours are not the ori...

It might be better if it didnt start in some ways. If the IC ignitor is the same on the 1000R you might trying to swop them over and see what you get. Another thing that has tripped me up a couple of times is the earth on the back RHS of the engine. It persists in frothing up and oxidising and that...

So! Tried start the 1100r yesterday morning and it would not budge!good 10 min and could hear battery starting to die so reconned I’d get the multi meter and plug socket and pretend I know what I was doing. I didn’t get back to it till this morning but confident it wouldn’t start I was hoping I migh...

I checked the spark since, however in true ball breaking fashion, the bitch refused not to NOT start! Every time I touch the starter she fired! I’m sure she will be back to her shananigans as soon as I let my guard down or I’m relying on it, but for now she has a good spark and is running fine, I sh...
