Thanks Guys,
Sorry for not replying sooner. Not a total git, yet. My tablet I am travelling with only gave me 'fatal error' messages when tapping the reply button. But here I am, and grateful.
Looking at the pictures and reading your discriptions my setup was pretty much OK. I aimed for the cable to ...

Thank matey. Where abouts is that mark on your crank case? In relation to the lever. Or oil pipe.

Hi, been a long time since I needed some help.
A long, long time ago I fitted new clutch plates when I reassembled the engine on my 1VJ. I followed the Klymer and a German manual . Both asked for the pointer on the clutch actuation lever to line up with the mark on the crank case. Pictures in both ...

That's what I thought. Hence the search. I bought a blue bike with blue frame but when we stripped the frame the colour beneath was black. There is the possibility it was painted black before blue.

As soon as I get back home I will post some pics of the existing loom ends and the babe herself with her new Stilmotor coat on. Will be another two weeks or so.
Meanwhile checking out Kedo, the obvious place really ...

Hi Guys,

I have got a Hyperpack CDI lying around in the garage for a long time now as I thought the old one was knackered at one stage but it wasn't. Its time to fit it and try it out. But the connectors are all wrong. And I don't want to mess about with the wiring loom. So I am looking for a non ...

On the German xt600 forum. There are some photos of bikes with them fitted. The tank replaces the left hand side cover and the rear mudguard.
