@johnshanks7902 Thanks John, it's nice to try different things. It requires a very different approach to my usual ones. You really have to think on the road. 👍✌️🧡

@@springy-2112 small bikes are fun if u think your crf is small try a msx 125 not for everyone but love mine about the town can beat them for mpg about 120 to a gallon . I also have a xj 900s for long distances yet another great bike being shaft drive

@OldManTony My reply ended as a comment to me? Not sure how I did that. It was about 13 to 14 tooth sprocket , back to stock to help at higher speed. Hope you are doing OK buddy. 👍 👌 ✌️❤️

So far , it's good. First time out today. Found the wrong front sprocket on it when I got back . So I'll change that which will give it an easier time at higher speeds. 👍✌️❤️

@@UpToNoGood83 I miss them all! But you have to go with what's right for now! ✌️❤️

But yes agreed the xjr was a beautiful thing to look at and exquisite to ride! 😢

@@springy-2112 it's making you think now isn't it... You know you want another haha!

Between you and Chris at Bikervation I took a liking to it over the years. Had it mulling around in the back of my mind for ages. It'll suit my needs now, and should be fun . It was quite a challenge to find one that's almost stock, just a rack which I'm keeping . And a few bad accessories I've already removed. No silly exhaust or chopped up airbox etc! Your words on your last crf video " it's just fine as it is" made me smile. Well said Sir. More to come on this one, I'll get some miles done. Peace and love buddy ✌️❤️

@@norfolkandgoodmotovlogs Hopefully, it seems good so far. 👍✌️❤️

Nearly a year now this one. That's some kind of record. 👍✌️❤️

Nothing of any substance just the odd catch up! 👍✌️❤️

You are very welcome. I don't think I mentioned in the video the plugs are very low torque maybe 11nm. they will snap in a heartbeat if you do them up like your average car plugs. I know this because I snapped one! Luckily it didn't fight me too much extracting it. It was my own fault for not checking the manual . Good luck with the bike I'm sure you can make it much better. ✌️♥️🤗

Yes I'm rocking the Smokey Joe Johnson look now! Got bi focals but I need tri focals! 😉👍

Mate, we’re both specky old men now - whatever happened to the young, dynamic go-getters that we used to be?

@@guyburt-davies9968 substitute decrepit for dynamic and the go getting got up and went! 🤪

Sorry there, I no longer have the vehicle. It's an old video. 🫣

What is the firing order if you don't mind me asking

sorry I don't understand, pressure?

I do hope you get to ride again some time. But above all take care of yourself. Your body will tell you if it's time. I had two years of not riding due to health. I'm nowhere near as strong as I used to be hence the smaller bike. But I'm very happy with it. Its great fun . Peace and love and best wishes to you.✌️♥️

Thank you brother!!

Yeah, I've never had a vehicle worthy of ceramic . Even if I did turtle wax has worked for me since time began. 🤗✌️❤️

That's sad to hear Tony. After two years away from bikes with the health problems I Try to use this one as much as I can while I can. Are you unable to ride buddy? Hope that's not being too nosey. Peace live and hugs as always Tony. 👍✌️♥️

@@springy-2112 most of my issues are in my head, I’ve not been the same since the good old lock down days! However I have had some heart issues this year, but that isn’t stopping me, it’s just increased my pill intake 😂😂. I need to get my ass in gear and either find the time for riding or sell the bike.

@OldManTony If riding is not your thing at present them go with your instinct. Do what's good for you at the now. Bikes can come and go. If you feel bikey at some point in the future you can get one then. That's what I did. There are no rules . The most important thing here is how you feel. Put you first. Love you brother ✌️♥️

I think flats would feel and sound great on it👍

The whole width is now narrower front and back. Why would I want it wider?

@@springy-2112 the widest part is narrower than your handlebars, you want the area furthest behind as narrow as possible

The plug caps screw straight onto the plug leads.

@@springy-2112 when I got my new coils the 4 cables that came with it was all the same length, is it ok to cut them down so each one is perfect length. Or shall I leave them all long. J worded it wrong g ford time around sorry

@Bandit_6oo oh, I see. Yes it's fine to cut them to length. it comes off a huge roll so can be cut at any point. 👍✌️❤️

@@springy-2112 ok great, thanks for the advise 👍

it's a very old video and I don't have the car now I'm afraid. Sorry.

I used 80/90 just because the manual asked for it. So I would only advise using the oe spec. I'm sure 75/90 syn will be fine ads its got a bigger range but I wouldn't want to commit to advice and be responsible for destroying your gear box! 👍✌️❤️

Yep, I'm blessed or cursed with the tidy fetish! Always have been. I still can't find things though. That's because there's a poltergeist that keep knicking things. Or maybe it's just me getting old and forgetful. 🙃. Peace and love brother 👍✌️🧡

Thanks I will.look that up.👍😉

it has a truss rod access through the hole in the string retainer nut. 4mm Allen key , turn right to take out the relief, left to increase relief. I think its a two way truss rod. If its beyond adjustment it'll need clamping to a bench. Daves world of fun stuff has lots of videos on this subject.. when it's beyond normal adjustment.

Thank you, it's nice to know it can help others. It's all just having a go and figuring it along the way. Sometimes I throw the towel in and leave it a day, come back and find the answer. I'm still learning now 50 plus bikes down the line. My current bike has a dry sump with an oil tank and single port fuel injection. Totally alien to me! But it's all just nuts n bolts a good manual and TH-cam away from fixing. Stay well , glad you enjoy the musings. Peace and love brother ✌️❤️

Good stuff. I still have it and still find it fun. It's got lots of agricultural character. And to my surprise for a low powered single it's happiest at 80mph. It becomes super smooth and quiet. Not that I do 80 often as it's just great at A road speeds. It's very capable off road too. It'll need tyres soon I'm thinking of going more off road biased as I do now like a trail because of the f650. I find the factory top box really handy but I'm considering removing the givi panniers and side racks as I have never put anything in them. Hope yours brings you fun. Mine certainly does, after 40 years of giant bikes this little charmer has certainly won me over. Keep in touch I would love to know how you get on . Thanks for the feedback . Peace and love to you both ( and the beemer) ✌️❤️

Lovely, traditionally the japan ones were better quality . No idea if that still applies. The Mexico one was great too. Candy apple Red is a lovely finish . I had an anniversary strat in same colour and I don't really like red generally . ✌️❤️

It's a different property(long traumatic story) so I got to plan from scratch. But all's well and I'm very happy with the new set up. Lovely to hear from you Tony, peace and love brother ✌️ ❤️

Yes, finally. Just need to make it a bit less harsh. But I have plans and unlike the house ( finished) it's not going to bother the karma. Floor next but I have the materials already. Peace and love brother 👍✌️❤️

Thank you and thank you! It's a bit chernobyl at present but I'll work on making it more bohemian. Peace and love brother ✌️👍❤️

Should be 150 plus. If they are all 128 maybe your gauge is a bit out? Worth borrowing a different gauge just to check before getting worried. Normally if there's wear either bore or valves they would be uneven like 15 or 20 psi difference or more. But if they're all 128 doesn't sound like a problem . Sounds more like the test equipment.
