Hrmm. If my wee hornet was running on three cylinders last night, what would that indicate? Only did it pulling away from the lights, came right once the revs built. She was running fine again this morning.
Spark plugs or leads? Cold carburetors? (it was f**king freezing last night) Bad fuel? (first tank of 91 i've run in a long time)
hahaha, still haven't got my new tyres yet. Haven't spotted a weekend dry enough for scrubbing in new rubber!![]()
Possibly just the cold or bad gas, most likely carbs. Mine did this back in the day, was just freshly imported and had old gas with bits of gunk in it. Jammed one of the jets and was flooding cylinder 4, leaking gas out the side over a hot engine casing, FUN!
My first bet would be a carb clean if it comes back again.
IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!!
Do the peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat!
I'm gonna opt for the leave it in the shed and hope it fixes itself option, hehehe.
I wont go into huge detail about the trip (as it would get boring), but we flew NZ-Oz-Johannesburg, SA. There we picked up a beastly black 1.4L Toyota Yaris, we then cruised our way up to Botswana, drove the Trans-Kalahari highway, crossed into Namibia, saw lots of things in there and then drove back down into South Africa again, back to Johannesburg-Oz and NZ.
21 days, 6,800km (2,500 on unsealed/dirt), 2 bald tyres and crap loads of stone chips later we returned the car. Average fuel consumption was just over 16km/L where the open road speed limit of 120km/hr. Bikes are cheap to run because....??
Quick list of awesome things i did:
quadbiking on big sand dunes, walking on BIGGER sand dunes, sliding down slightly smaller dunes, stroked a cheeta, filled a whole page in my passport, freed a yaris out of sand, found somewhere with so much nothing you can see the horizon in all directions, got a toy lion, talked bikes with biker cousins, laughed hard when cousin's mate had a VFR400 at his place, ate tons of dried meat, ate tons of cooked meat, tried strange types of meat (ostrich), saw some amazing sights and some beautiful sunsets.
Overall: awesome trip, but. NEED A BIKE
pics to prove it happened:
ChocolateWheels - Possibly the first (EX) GN rider to overtake a CBR600RR LEGITIMATELY and EX holder of the GN250 Land Speed Record.
Awesome stuff Choco.
Good to see you at the airport the other day. Hope to see you around on a big bike soon!![]()
Motorcycling is like life - it's about the journey, not the destination.
