I have a 1980 custom tracker which came with standard (butchered) wiring TCI system. When I eventually got it running it was running very poorly. I dismantled the whole electrical system; reg/rec, rotor & stator were good, everything else was stripped and trashed. I rebuilt a complete new loom...

Hello Jim The short ride (20mls) went well. And Taffy ran without a hitch. I’m still nervous about venturing further due to a year of chasing the issues I had. The Gonzo is still in place and runs without issue. I may reinstall the CDI unit as I now feel (know :umm:) that ain’t the problem. It...

I love cooking (and eating), and cook every night of the week for me and Mrs C. It also acts as a bit of 'me' time to unwind after work; an hour of so of cooking with a glass or two of wine does the job. This week I have cooked: Pan roasted duck breasts with a cranberry & port suace; steamed...

FIRST TAFFY RIDE OF 2024 Bringing Taffy out of winter slumber a few weeks ago filled me with confidence, hopeful the bike would behave and not cause me the embarassment of mis-fires and stalls that plagued me through 2023. Head bolts torqued to Jim / 5Twins recommendations and I'm ready to go...

Looking around for a new XS650 project today. This popped up on eBay: Offered by Summerbud for £700 Starting price! Summerbud actually restore bikes brought in from the USA and create Flat Trackers for sale in the UK. Seems this one is too far gone even for them to bother with; but £700 is...

Very nice bike @CaptCardboard; and welcome to the forum. I chased a similar set of symptoms last year, following a full rebuild and rewire. Took the carbs off umpteen times cleaning and resetting everything. Then the wise ones here said check electrics first. Bike would start and idle nicely...

SOME SERVICE THIS IS, JUST A PLUG CHANGE!

New to me @JOHNDADDY, I like it.
