Managed to eventually get the bike running yesterday. Its hard to bump start a bike with no brakes. ;D
We have changed the cylinder head gasket for a pukka yamaha one as we had a water leak. It now transpires there is still a water leak but its coming from the thermostat. I may be using screws which are to long and they are lifting the thermostat from the cylinder head. I will order new ones soon.
When the bike was running, the tickover was higher with no choke than with choke. Any ideas why this should happen? Have I done something wrong on the carbs.
Also the left exhaust (choke side) was getting hot whereas the right exhaust stayed cold. The bike was running on both cylinders but I cant understand the difference in temperature. The bike was running for 10 - 15 minutes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
