Rummaging in the garage roof this weekend, I found my old KR-rep AGV from 25 years ago. Smile

Nice lid!
I occasionally pull mine out that I bought back in '88.

Carb issues blighted the ride on my ZXR at Donington WSB last year.
(Not racing by the way, just parading between races!)
So finally, after starting the strip down back in May, I've at last spent some time on the ZXR carbs. What an utter bugger of a job. So many linkages, brackets, attachments, solenoids, etc.
Decided to only drop the float bowls off and blow all the jets out. Hope that fixes it for now....

I also had carb issues on my ZXR.. Flat spot at just under 4000rpm which got worse as the bike warmed up. Got the carbs stripped and in the end it was a 68pence rubber seal above the float valve that was leaking due to being perished.

Runs sweet as now.. Brilliant Very Happy


Erm... But that was a job over Christmas ... Today I replaced the neutral switch on Dec's AR125. Good job I have spare engines and parts knocking about as the kids never have any money even when they are working.. Haha

I treated the MZ to a new exhaust bracket (ahem) from a gash Quill item so classy ... but this blokes mod is a bit over the top .... I just use lock wire ...

In response to a wanted ad on here, I pulled the wife's NSR out to take some photos for the potential buyer. But having played with it today and reminded ourselves how cool it is, we're not sure if we can let it go now... Crying or Very sad

I was in the same predicament stroker boy. You think about selling then you just stand back and look at it. It would hurt to let a very nice little bike go.

Ctek one, obtained through Diff'rent Strokers. Rolling Eyes It's previously recovered my assumed-dead Mini battery so not sure what the problem is here.
