Re: Stalling issue 906

Hi Hans , when things start to work again after a cool down it often turns out to be electrical . Some components will fail as they get hot and work again when cool .....which is why I suggested to check for spark as soon as it stops . When the motor stops does anything else stop working , like mayb...

Re: Stalling issue 906

Carburettor s ...you have two? If it stops as opposed to running on one pot you'd have to think it was something common to both ....so you might be on the right track looking at the vacuum fuel pump , but why would it stop after 20 mins and work again after a rest ( sounds more Australian than Swiss...

Re: The White P750

Yeah , you worry that its not working and get paranoid about overheating . My 1st Makita is a DHP451 ....still going strong , been thinking about pulling it to bits and giving it a lube job ( seen the you tube vid :lol: ), but there's a lot of bits in there and you can not usually get to the main sp...

Re: The White P750

Dunno if it helps Nick but my 900ss had two oil coolers like the P750 and unless it was a hot day the thing over cooled unless you were hammering it and in winter I took one cooler out of circuit ( un -plumbed it ). I think the P750 temp gauge is the same one as the 906 just has "oil" writ...

Re: I brought home a 750 Sport

Re: Low outut from alternator

alt ac output should be 40 - 50vac at 3000rpm and about 75vac at 5000rpm . Im pretty sure my 906 alt has 3 wires , 2 yellows and a red , anyhows you probly need to get an ohms meter onto the alt windings , they should be pretty low at 1 - 2 ohms and there should be no continuity to earth

Re: I brought home a 750 Sport

Paso shouldnt be awkward shifting ....probly need to have a look at the clutch , they gotta be clean , any black marks on the drive plates will make it sticky , but a well sorted gearbox/clutch should be the proverbial hot knife thru butter . Even the chain condition/tension will affect it .

Re: fairing fasteners

I bought 6mm aluminium black anodised screws ...with the big heads off an outfit we have ( had?) in NZ called Eurobike years ago . I think quite a few bike makers use similar . One thing I do when looking for bike parts is to go to the loval bike shops and have a look at what the new bikes are using...
