K&N's
- Thread starter big fella
- Start date
No carbs- it's fuel injection. Although it can be converted to run with carbs. With a hell of a lot of fecking around, without any meaningful gain.
Don't forget the airbox has a temperature sensor so you'd have to relocate it to read the air temperature going into the engine .

Correct. Just found the reason the engine blew in the first place. There was a crack in the air box below the air filter.The box is full of dust and shit and i think the obvious happened.
This bike is breaking my heart but i will persevere.

Mess
So far i have changed the engine only to find that there were no seals in the rockercovers,oil everywhere when she warmed up.Put a new clutch plate in and when the whole thing was assembled there was a squeal coming from the clutch area. Pulled the whole thing apart again and found that the gearbox housing was cracked and i must have bent the pushrod when i put it together. Got the clutch rod straightened and the crack welded and the airbox araldited together. Now i need an m27x1.5 tap to clean up the threaded hole for the paralever mounts.F**k me, but im learning more than i ever thought i would about these bikes.
Thanks for all the help.

what's the history of the machine?
Its a 94' that originated in London. I have the original reg at home so maybe someone here knows who owned it. It was imported into Ireland in 04'.I bought it at christmas as a project and a project it has turned out to be.Nearly everything is broken worn or bent.The gearbox seems to check out ok but i wont know fully till i ride it.It went down the road at some stage coz the front mudguard,tank,headlight bracket,rear subframe and footrests are either broken or bent.I have most of it sorted now but its a pain. One step forward and two steps back.

If you have trouble finding the tap then try using an internal thread file, thats what I did when the threads on both sides stripped when I did my clutch change and its worked fine for me.
