Has anyone got a guide on how to bleed my autolube ? Iv had all the oil out and haven’t a clue how to bleed the sysytem ?
Any help muchly appreciated
@bradt best way is to run premix in your bike while running with the autolube full bleed the lines there will be a rubber blanking cap on the pump pull that off While the bike is running on premix and when the air bubbles stop coming out plug it back up then watch the flow coming from the pump to engine best use clear lines so you can see the air bubbles then when there’s no bubbles your good to switch back to autolube fully

Cheers mate ordered some clear lines
Bike all ready now, but have noticed a leak from the carb guessing bowl gasket needs replacing
Auto lube needs bleeding also and she ready for her first start
First time out the garage in a few months quick wipe down and a polish

Just that leak to sort out now and struggling to locate one for today as need the bike tomorrow

Does anyone know where the black wire (I’m guess an earth) on the coil is meant to go
Iv just fitted a new startermotor to the build makes it easier to start and found I have no coil
Noticed the black wire with hook was connected to the coil itself should this be earthed to frame or is this right ?
-
The starter motor has a red wire only which connects to the starter solenoid (this is the square thing with two fuses in it by the battery). There is a black wire with a hook which connects to the neutral switch which is located near to the starter motor at the bottom of the engine casing on the flywheel side. this in turn plugs into the part of the loom which goes into the stator/generator coil via a bullet connector. Hope this helps.

So last night after during the match I decided to take the bike for a ride out see how everything was , bike felt great really responsive but loud but exhaust needs sorting
Come out for work this morning bike fired up felt great work is only 5mile away iv got just round the corner and my red light came on and the bike was steaming pretty bad I coasted it to work and iv lost all my coolant I’m aware this could be down to the head gasket but I’m hoping it may be something else.
There was pressure in the radiator when I took the cap off and the expansion bottle cap has stayed on any one know what else to check before I order a head gasket ?
Thanks

@bradt have you bled the system of air?
-
I did but maybe not long enough cannot see where the coolant is coming from it’s just dried all white over the barrel and head
-
@declan surely any liquid would dry and leave some kind of substance after touching a hot engine. Iv reckon iv found the culprit there a little house what connect to carbs what isn’t fully on and can see it coming from there but the amount iv lost surely hasn’t come from there I’m unsure tired and frustrated and still gotta rude home on it tonight after work!
