Not been on here or the bike for a while as I had a few issues to deal with, namely only running on three cylinders, the bike not me.

Note to self - ensure when rebuilding carbs that all pilot jets are screwed in correctly, otherwise you will spend days trying to work out what the issue is.....:doh:

However now it is running on four cylinders again I need to get it to a bike shop that can balance the carbs, check mixture etc as I have got a Dynajet stage 3 kit in there, with Ram air filter pods and Vance and Hines exhaust.

Any recommendations, I am based in Stanmore Bay.

Thanks in advance

Tim Howard at Hibiscus Coast Service Centre, David Sidwell Place, Whangaparaoa. He's tops! Ask about his Z1300 while you're there, with luck he'll have it in the shop.

OMG your kidding, he's got a Z1300, my all time dream machine (yes I know it takes all sorts), worth going to see him just for that, many thanks Edbear

It's a minter! He's also doing one up as a street machine with a turbo. You may also be interested in his Audi A8, V8 powered, mid-engined VW Polo he's building. He is a mad Pom and one of the very few mechanics I trust.
