I lost my springs too ...

Re: What have you done today?

We used to ride two up 50kms each way in snow , to work . Not that we were that dedicated just that was the only transport. Now I find that bulking up against the cold is restrictive enough to spoil a ride ,specially once one gets used to the modern lightweight sports riding gear ..........yeah , al...

Re: 907 Gold valve covers

I think it was when they changed to the removable clip on the opening rocker shaft , so you can just remove the clip and slide rocker out of the way rather than having to remove the rocker pivot shaft and rocker . :)

Re: Paso newbie

Hi , dunno if Gowanloch has any. They may come up on eBay , one there at the mo but they are asking €999 . I keep an eye out for parts that might get broken in a. Woopsie ,footpeg brackets,handle bars etc. Some of this stuff is getting hard to find and is unique enough to be damn hard to substitute.

Re: Poor starting

Hi Keith , assuming you have the technique correct :D with the weber carb its usually just a case of choking it , no touch throttle and hit starter .
