I guess the difference is how they attach, either to the engine or the airbox?

Pod70 has both bikes and I guess would know any differences.

Are you testing it on AC voltage?

The charging system is an Achilles heel but it's not a magical circuit and there's only so many parts to change.

Check all plugs and connectors in he circuit, check all earths and the battery terminals are tight and free of corrosion. If you're still not getting what you need, must be the alternator. I've seen where one of the three coils has failed, this gave sufficient voltage but the current wasn't there so the battery discharged. Could be what you're getting. If it's the case, a visual inspection will show you.

Valve clearance service is involved as you need to take the top off the engine, which involves removing a fair few ancillary parts. However, the gear driven cams mean it's about as easy as it gets on a 4 cylinder engine.

Could be valves, the starter clutch when it goes can also give what might be described as an irregular ticking noise, but that's in the left side cover.

Any chance it's just a loose exhaust nut?

Are you guys on the Facebook group? Much easier to share pics.

The single leg subframe caught my eye too, pod. First thing you'd need to do is add some triangulation in there.

Outstanding!

I think more likely it's a float bowl o ring, or even more likely it's one of the seals on the fuel rail T joint. Those get flat/hard, then tear just slightly when the T is moved. Wouldn't hurt to change all relevant seals, but I'd start with the Thai kit as it's more likely to solve the problem.

Ideally though, you should diagnose the problem before getting stuck in.

I can heartily recommend litetek seals.

Made of viton rubber they are more resistant to ethanol in modern fuel than original (30y old) parts.

Changing them isn't so hard, just be methodical. You do need to be careful with all the springs, plus you may need to pay the mechanic in the end for balancing them together. Also be careful with the original screws, you need a Philips number two and ideally, grind the tip a little flatter so it's more compatible with Japanese screw heads. Give it a sharp tap with a hammer before trying to remove each screw.

Not too tricky. I've done a few.

That's a relief.
Thank you.

I've had enough of you. You are banned. Goodbye.

The blatantly reactive renaming of this section and the dropping of the original invitation has proved all my points beyond all doubt.

You owe that apology to me a_morti. Your behaviour was the only behaviour that was unacceptable and the only behaviour that was in any way in contravention of the site rules. Thst is not and never has been in any doubt.

I look forward to meeting you in person so you can repeat your behaviour and we can all find out how brave you really are. No, that's not a threat silly boy, it's an invitation to back up your Internet trolling and verbal abuse - anytime, any place. Actions have consequences.

mrbones, you demonstrated your lack of integrity the last time and have repeated it again here.

filter 'man' thank you for confirming your lack of intellect. Get a dictionary and learn the meaning of words before you abuse them.

Admin, your refusal to address me directly is pure cowardice. You also lied. I did not report the thread. I reported the foul language and abusive behaviour of a_morti, which you have demonstrably failed to address. I therefore require an appliqué from you, as well as replies to my original questions.

Also, explain how the post entitled: 'Alma martyrs' was NOT motorcycle related.

I can't believe you still think you're in the right. Clinging to letter of the law like it matters, obsequiously abusing your thesaurus to denigrate the intellectual capacity of your fellow forum members (there I know big words too, you're not he only one with intelligence).

You asked for clarification and seems to me, you've got it. The forum title has been updated to give less ambiguity - which btw not one other member has needed reminding not to post irrelevant contentious content in 12 years.

The admin and other members believe you're out of order. I believe I can speak for others now (see above). You're already a persona non grata here and now you're threatening physical violence, while also calling out the site admin's honour. And you're reminding me of actions and consequences?

If I refuse to apologize, will you boycott the forum? That'd be a real shame.

Thanks Pod.

I hope moderatefkr has his clarification, and can see who i meant by "we" are fed up of his tangents.

Appreciated, fM

You reported that thread 4 times in 5 minutes. This is the second thread that was ever reported in the last 11 years. It had plenty of foul language. That's why it was deleted.

Stop the rhetoric and take your arguments elsewhere.

The General Discussion section has been renamed to General Motorcycle Discussion.

My apologies for the use of foul language.

Admin, please explain your lack of response to my complaints about the foul language and abusive behaviour by a_morti.

Please also explain the unwarranted deletion of the topic entitled 'Alma martyrs' on the General Discussion section which invites members to: Feel free to talk about anything and everything.

It's time you clarified the situation properly. 

It's not me sarge... everyone else is marching to the wrong beat.
