Check your voltage ignition on at the coils, you can get significant voltage drop with resistance in ignition switch/kill switch etc, check all earths, block connectors.These things are rarely component failure more likely something working lose / bad connector. Fresh head and cup of tea.

If bike ran fine, then stopped I’m wondering if it’s charging properly-as voltage drops below 12v the sparks dies .

I always coppaslip ( love the stuff!) on the flywheel removal tool threads and on the bolt where it bares on the crank, when you nutgun it off it helps by being quicker and applies more torque. Did mine the other day and the alternator loom was nearly rubbing on the belt, could have been nasty!

Hope your Ferodos are a success - and cheers for all the input, greatly appreciated.
As a side note I am getting the rear shoes relined and arced, will post later on how it turns out, cheers Jason

I had a similar problem, when braking I could hear a slow tick from front brake, one per revolution of wheel. Turns out the front wheel has Been laced with thicker gauge spokes and would only just clear the back of the calliper, when braking the flex imposed just pushed calliper to strike a spoke, a...

How did he make his woodbine last until Ballaugh Bridge? When and how did he intend to light it? Fabulous picture.

Firstly make sure you undo the top yoke clamps, will make undoing fork cap a lot easier, secondly if you put copper slip on fork cap threads When replacing it will stop it galling, I then ,using a palm wrench, apply pressure but turning anti-clockwise wait for the “click” as the cap drops into the s...

Another nod for EBC, it’s nice to hear some real world feedback.
Cheers for that, Jason

Thanks for that, that should be front sorted, rear is coming out this afternoon to see what’s goin* on!

Norbert you are absolutely right, they did come with cast wheels, previous owner fitted wires to mine . Your second point about the smaller drum - I’ll have to go and check before I order the wrong ones! Many thanks, Jason

Thanks very much John, proper reply! I’ve just got back from riding down from Dunkery beacon, the fronts are ok at the moment but the rear shoes are a bit vague to say the least. The chrome on my front disc is really good and the last thing I want to do is wreck it with the wrong pads. I saw the EBC...

Hi Guys, I’ve got a standard 78 wire wheel GT/Strada ( chrome disc front, rear drum) and need to buy pads and shoes. Any recommendations , I’m not a hard braker/ racer so perhaps a softer compound . What are you lot using these days? Many thanks, any advice much appreciated, Jason.

Hi Guys , I've have just found a photo of me kick starting a 31/2 Sport BGX511T back in 1984 when I was 16 ! It was my brothers , & he could never start it! It's still about apparently, if anyone owns it now I can let them know a bit of history from that era.
