    Thanks mate, will defo look into the impact wrench. I was just hoping it was going to be a quick easy fix with the bits i already had purchased and was shocked to see it was completely different to what i was expecting. My bike is off road due to an accident and im moving house in the next week so the pressure is on as i have no transport for it. All the best

    Either the balancer shaft, the engine needs timing. Or the clutch hasn't been balanced. The clutch needs to be reassembled in the correct sequence. See my kickstart conversion guide.

    @bradt The system will incur a known internal resistence with itself, known as impedence. This can be measured. It should fall within a tolerable range, as described by the technical specification of the item. Compare your component against this documentation to ensure the item is within tolerance. Chances are, if it is, then the item is not faulty.

    On my first DT after several days of trying to remove the bolt, I eventually got it to budge by doing a continuous heat cycle on it, and going at it with a club hammer and drift. When you thinks it got to be hot enough by now...give it another couple of minutes with the blow torch.

    It'll need ally welding if you have the pieces, otherwise you'll have to get another one.

    Doubtful, but an adapter shouldn't be too hard to make. Just make sure you centralise the caliper over the disc.

    @oldman well it looked 40 years old and was visually worn out looked well used if I tried to ride the bike to set off I’d have to redline and ride the clutch then soon as I shift out of 2nd the bike would lose all power and come to a stop then would bog and stutter it seems better with the carb on the garden not tested the street yet

    Why not make adaptor/converter loom, between the cdi and the main loom, so you can connect everything up without molesting either part.

    Removing the snorkel affects the jetting, so jet accordingly. It can also decrese the low end a bit, as theres not much velocity through the carb when you whack the throttle open at low speed. IMO the airbox seems pretty restrictive, so removing the snorkel adds tons of air. You can be both rich and lean, as in lean in the midrange, and rich on the mainjet, or the other way around.
