Checked the rotors were running true everything is spot on. I turned the workshop inside out today and found the pads that came fitted on the bike which I have never used. Fitted them and the rattling has gone on the move still slightly there when blipping the throttle on the stand. Now then the...
The shims don't appear to have a curve in them should they? The calipers have been rebuilt with new pistons and seals. The discs have no warpage and pad wear is even. Get this sorted it will be a lovely bike
Hi has anyone come across this problem. i have twin discs and from the moment i start it the pads rattle in the calipers from tickover and on the move. The calipers have been rebuilt and have new lines with ebc pads in. If i just touch the brake lever it all goes away and is temporarily bliss...
Didn't realise they weren't evenly spaced. Thought i had messed it up by making all the bolt shafts the same diameter. But two were binding on the inside of the springs stopping movement when operating the clutch. Hopefully it will b much better now

Hi everyone. I am fitting a pair of these to my 76c 650 as my pipes have rotted out. Wondered if anyone has had experience of jetting up for them. I am using std air filters, std headers, bs38s and currently std jets 122.5 main, 25 pilot and 4mi needle. A good starting point would be great i...
Hi. It runs fine up until 4. I just pulled the plugs and they are sooty around the base so it would appear to be running rich above 4 cos the electrode was brown which was the last half mile home. Don't know where to go from here.
Hi. The slide test was fine. Have adjusted the floats just tested it and it's still sputtering. It sputters from 4 up to about 5.5/6. It improves slightly if I feather out the throttle. It has 4mi needles on number 3, 25 pilots and 122.5 mains. The filters are dry yellow course foam. Any other...
