It should POST with or without the battery in, the obvious thing would be the DC jack especially as it’s needed a wiggle before. Battery out and adaptor in I’d try a multimeter on the battery terminals and see if there’s any sign of life there, If not it’s probably the jack.

I’ve got a 12mm conversion I bought on here last week but no longer need.

And to answer the above question Hadley, bulletproof hubs.

Damn it how did I not see this thread, I miss my old Bullit and would have bought one, that’s a silly price.

It could well be the oil level, Id suggest changing the O-ring and make sure there’s 120ml of oil in the moco side, probably due an oil change by the sounds of it too.

Have got KCNC on another bike and these are different, not had a problem with the bearings on the KCNC though….

The bearings in these are 689 rs if that means anything to you, a quid each on ebay so not teh end of the world if they die….

Edit: and these are about half the price of the cheap KCNC ones even imported from the far east so well worth a shot IMO.

I’ve just bought a Transition Double so it must be good.

LOL @ Chesney, I said a while ago if Van can stay fit the gooners will win the league, and I’m sticking by it, ok it’s a rather big if but I can dream.

Use the torque Luke.

self amalgamating tape

Que?

It’s a rubbery tape, that only really sticks to rubbery tape, and it works rather well.

I got a Diverse one from the states for not a lot of money, worth a look, I think it was about £110 all in.

Polish the anodising? Might take a while…….

I used caustic soda on my XT cranks, you need to be careful as it’s nasty stuff and be careful on the timing as it will keep going, I think it took about 20 minutes to do mine.

Police Squad, bring it back now!

Nice one, make sure you get a picture up so people can rate your patio. :P

I thought I’d hijack your thread rather than starting another.

I had a budget of £350 and no more to build this for a friend.

Here’s one from me, not a big Ferrari fan but…..

Edit oops must post said video before watching it four times and someone else posting the same video first d’oh

Rub on some garlic, salt and pepper then nuke it from orbit.

They sold the first bike to this man.

There was no draw it was all a big swizz, time to get your money back! :P

Sell the DHX and put a Roco WC on it, or better still a Pushed Roco WC. :)

Standard is 130bhp and 228lb/ft on paper but alot of the later BLT engine code cars are producing 150+ standard. Custom mapping was a little over £300 with a mk4 owners forum discount, they did the re-ee-map (bo) for free. I’m in Newport Wales. Some of the guys with the seriously tuned cars are running over 550lb/ft.

Amazingly I’ve done 28k on the standard clutch and flywheel without a hint of slippage. All that’s done is turbo back exhaust, green panel filter, FMIC, hybrid turbo and custom map oh and water meth injection.

Here’s a plot from when I first had it set up, the mapper insisted holding the torque back to preserve the clutch and I had to twist his arm to up it to this, it’s also pre h2o/meth which helps it spool up much quicker, and after a few thou of the clutch holding up I insisted on letting the torque rip and if the clutch died I’d replace it.

YAY I won!!!!!

No it would be good if I did now though wouldn’t it, corruption rife and calls for a redraw imminent. :D

Gachet it was a 3.1l VR6, the way I drove it that was my average, granted if I really tried I could get mid twenties.

I moved from a 270hp, 270lb/ft v6 that revved to 8.5k to a 240hp, 400lb/ft 1.9l weasel and the only thing I miss is the sound, although the diesel actually sounds alright through a 3″ pipe, actually tell a lie two things I miss…. doing 75 in second gear. I think the diesel is quicker in most situations, and the delivery is excellent too, peak torque comes in like a sledgehammer at 2100rpm and power builds nicely towards the redline, means you actually have a choice to drive it on the torque and short shift or like a petrol and screw it, I’m not actually sure which way is faster but I like the torque burble.

Would I trade 56mpg for 16? Nope, diesel is the future, for now… :D

Was about to suggest Acros, got a clockwork orange limited edition one at a really good price probably a year and a half ago and it’s been fine.

Brentacre or Flux.

Hmmm tempted to give them a call tomorrow…

£15?

I could sell you an unregistered and unactivated COA and a ‘backup’ of XP SP2. Mail me if you’re stuck.

The main thing annoying me at the moment is Joey Barton, and I don’t think he’s on this forum?

Group buy on a hitman?

Jim Morrison on backing vocals?

A healthy mixture of nowhere, nothing and F all.

I think it must be a Z1 sport with no compression adjust…

Thanks for that, looks like it’s a Z1 but none of the specs match up exactly, I could have measured the travel slightly wrong and I guess it could be a cut down OEM fork. It’s the oil levels I’m trying to find out but should be able to work that out now.

I had these guys make me an MRP style one before –

TK Maxx stock overpriced branded clothes for people who dont have a clue about dressing well. Middle of the road sort of customers with no class or no style.

You wear chinos, a blazer and sport a fine silk cravat.
