Mr stinkwheels Group: Members Posts: 206 Joined: May 2006 Posted: Aug. 07 2008,15:38 Hi Ian. Just been reading the MCN. A nice 2 page spread, and some good pictures. Good stuff. Were you racing in New Era club between 1991 and 1995 in the Proddy 250/350 class? If so we may have raced at the same meets, tho I never went to Cadwell park, but plenty of Mallory, Snetterton and Brands. Keep up the good work, I recommend getting your ports opened to SP spec by Martin77. Martin. Back to top

Glyn not sure about 3xv slinger, but it adds to the problem of the fuel washing the bearings. ie, washing the oil outta them. -------------- viva la revolucion  !!  suck squeeze bang blow Back to top

skinuthbilly Group: Members Posts: 209 Joined: April 2007 Posted: Aug. 15 2008,08:26 personally, i think it was just down to worn/old main bearings, i can't remember saying it was a fuel tap leak/carb overflow?(his own words i think) surely if that were to happen,the fuel would just exit via the overflow pipes? anyway,many thanx to you guys on here for all the help with info & advice on the bike,where would i have been without it??   Back to top

Redhead96 Group: Members Posts: 45 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: Aug. 15 2008,19:45 Yeah spotted a lovely 3XV there! Made me want one! I'm a Doncaster lad but Market Rasen is a typical ride out for me. I've got a 3MA (a world famous Performance Bikes Sep 08 featured 3MA!!) I was there on a Gixxer 750 unfortunately!   But a little Lincs TZR gathering would be a good idea if there were some takers?
