Haha! cheers bud, If I didn't do it it would be more time and money spent on a machine that no garage likes to work on, daft thing is if you took the bike in they'de do it and if you took the car part in the same but put em both together and alot less folk want to work on her, no idea why as it's such an easy trike to work on, RSM8.
Hey man, I've noticed you forgot to put in air cleaner seals. It's the details that keep the performance true to its potential. Enjoy the ride, cheers!
Cheers buddy, I must admit I never noticed, I assumed wrongly of cause that the new one had seals fitted, but thanks to your comment it's now been done, Fresh service but not filmed as I did it a couple of weeks before your comment, I've just checked and thankfully now put them in, once again an eagle eyed viewer saves the day, RSM8.
@LAUST Probably, if you can't see one in there. It doesn't come with the air cleaner and has to be purchased separately :) You will actually need two seals, not just one - one comes between the air cleaner and the tank, and the other comes between the air cleaner and the air cleaner case cap. Check out the original schemes in the manual. You can also google the schemes if you don't have a manual)
@LAUST if there's an air leak, it could affect the performance. The leak would affect the air-fuel mixture ratio. If you had a hole in an intake boot, you would probably fix it, right? This is basically the same. It is one of those "invisible" things that could cause you a headache down the road, with every other turn of the throttle. It is recommended to always replace the seals when you install a new air filter (the seals are squeezed and flattened under pressure so fresh ones are a good investment, plus they only cost about 2euros. Another great investment is the manual. ...Man, you wouldn't believe how many things I found my motorcycle was missing. One small part here, another small part there... The previous owner was not very good at keeping things together I guess. LOL
Cheers Graham, yeah the 750 being just that bit bigger would suit you fine again, strange how we sometimes wish we still had nearly every bike we've owned before, lol, ya must get yourself a waistcoat buddy, it's bound to suit you, RSM8.
Hey buddy, sorry for the late reply, I've just bought some of that WD40 chain wax, gunna give it a go on the enfield, before that I have a belt on the cruiser so didn't need any, lol, RSM8.
Sorry for not replying before now bud, there is no reserve or pet cock, as its a two part tank, main tank is low down behind to rear mudguard cover and then the rest is the actual tank, dad just filled up every 100 miles to be safe, RSM8
Hahaha! I know what ya mean ya daft bugger, what with you being in Germany, lol, No he doesn't have one, but not sure he would wear it, I'd have to ask him bro.
