Hey skull I did join the Xs club but found it was not for me . I tried 5 old time bike machanics and none had even heard of a PAMCO ! South east Queensland is a waste land to get anyone to work on a 35 year old bike . So far I've spent over 10 grand on this bike and I've had enough I thought it...

that's what i don't get when i did my research they are meant to be so easy to set up. I put in a new PMA as well so voltage is fine it still does not explain why it wont rev past 5000 revs . could it be a faulty pamco ? or something else thanks triumph68

hey men i purchased a set of loaded gun rear sets for my cafe build i just want to warn people not to make the same mistake i did they are very poor quality and not well designed the main problem is the rear brake will only work if you remove the kick starter it only lets the brake arm move 1/2...
