Re: spark plugs

I have read a lot of comments about NGK and decided to contact their technical department about it. The conclusion I have reached is there is nothing wrong with NGK, I is just that Denso equivalents have a slightly different heat range which tends to work better in old engines running modern fuels. ...

Re: Helicoil. North east

Is the stud end still in the fork? A left hand drill bit and a bit of heat might get it out and leave the thread intact. If you get the drilled hole to the right size you might be able to get a torx bit to bite on it.

Re: Oil pressure loss !!

Out of curiosity, I wonder how many have condemned an oil pressure switch because there is continuity even when the plunger is pushed in?

Re: New here, looking for guidance

Just thinking a little left field.

I notice you described the plugs as oily? .. Is it un-burned fuel or oil? What are the exhaust emissions like? If smokey, what colour? Is it at start up or on overrun? If it is burning oil I would tend to suspect the valve stem seals have failed.

Re: Oil pressure loss !!

Thanks for all the advice guys I think the first thing I am going to do is change the oil pressure switch, because,as you say, it's cheap and easy to change. Hopefully that will cure the problem. Thanks again everyone for the advice. Paul They do not come supplied with the o-ring, it would be sensi...

Re: Oil pressure loss !!

For the small cost, I would certainly fit a new oil pressure switch as I've seen these fail many many times before and they don't last forever. Agree with you 100% :up :up :up The plungers can get 'sticky' over time. If it intermittently fails to break contact with the oil gallery you would get the...

Re: Oil pressure loss !!

Drop the sump and check the pump filter is clean. You can remove the sump in the frame with pipes removed and it can reveal a multitude of sins. It is not uncommon to find the broken front cam chain guide lurking in 40 years of carbon and metal swarf! Loads of bikes ran 20/50 oil back in the day wit...
