Thanks for that. I have the A1 Japanese model (grey import) so it will be interesting to see what's in there. I think I will check tonight.

I am running 117.5 main jets as the head and barrel was skimmed by BDK, it sports the BDK boost bottle expander and I put in Boysen dual-stage reeds.

I'll get the torch and the magnifying glass out tonight. My eyes aren't as good as they used to be in my youf.

Well, I think I owe you a pint/bacon sarnie/chips Top-shaggy.

I rebuilt the carb with a Keyster kit in the spring when it was going back onto the road. I checked this needle and it had a completely different number on it (21-2?). Anyway I checked the old needle and it was a '46 so I popped it back in and the bike was pulling much better this morning.

I missed the power-drop as the bike was off the road getting two new KIPS valves. One was broken and the other was missing Rolling Eyes

I took the KMX200 out for a winter blast today, over the fields to check the fencing and then dropped into the local Kawasaki shop for a hot drink..

The bloke said he hadn't seen a KMX for years.. Dance

I replaced the 26yo OE front rubber brake-line last week on my 200. Talk about a serious difference Laughing

I had to take the hard plastic tube off the old line to wrap round the new one from the bottom fork mount upwards as the new braided line was flexing and rubbing on the front tyre under braking. It now pokes out the top yoke under braking like the original.

I have yet to loose the front end and end up on my 4r5e however it has only been one day Wink

I did see a 125 for sale on eBay the other day, £1,599. I know they are 2T but really...

My front brake is pretty good to be fair.. It's the back brake that's pants. You have to give it a proper boot full to make it pull up Rolling Eyes

Yeah all the older 2T's seem to be going up, but it would have to be like new to pay that sort price Shocked

I'm going to treat the KMX to a new chain when the weather picks up. Not getting one yet though, it's looking pretty rusty at the min with being used in the Sh@t. Gets plenty oil ..so should be ok for a month or two yet Very Happy
