you seem to be ageing in reverse in this video

cool name

Morning sir…..I think I saw you out on spurt last Saturday afternoon….. Ashby Road (Stapleton to Hinckley). Gave you the customary salute, but obviously you didn’t recognise me as I was driving my tin box. Either that or it wasn’t you and there was some other geyser on a spurt a like bike wondering who the hell that cockwomble was giving him a wave. Must get together and have a fat boys brekkie at a suitable establishment, with Mr red beard too if he is around. In the meantime hope you and yours have a great Christmas.

Nice.

Looks good, keep going!😊

Great video ,its great when they pass the Mot,Ive recently bought a 94 model needed a cush drive and a number plate light bulb ,not bad for thirty years old ,very happy with the bike,keep up the great videos .

Hey up Mr D……. Where’s the chap I worked with at MiRA ? The chap who would diligently be out on test in the ffffffrezing cold and pissing rain, surviving on a hot brew and a rusty nail sandwich. All this you tuber fame is turning you into a Liberal Democrat voter. Be good and one of these days we’ll meet up for a brekkie at the welcome cafe or such and talk shit for an hour so. Thank you and good night 👍

Another simple fix is to strip back and cut each cable leading to 🧲 and re connect with a solder cable connector

Greetings and salutations from sunny Leicester !☀️😁 Congratulations on your funny and informative channel. It's of help to a motorbike newbie such as myself. I'm thinking to get a Kawasaki ZZR600 as me 1st big bike (I fell in love with the seating position, practicality and just its....kawasakiness!) modern options just don't seem to have its attributes. However I'm a bit worried about its carbed nature per my health there is a good chance 'general Zod' would not be out & about for extended periods (months). Would running it to temperature say 1 a week be enough to keep the carbs running well? I'll be attempting to clean them armed with a trusty Haynes manual (wish me luck!) but in case it all goes south, are there any garages in the midlands you would recommend please? Thank you Kind regards

Loving the new camera.

12:37 Oh! A telecaster!

Oh, nice gimbal action!

Phyllis!!!

You’ve just come up on my feed for the first time, but I swear to god I saw you in North Devon today in a street Triple…??

That will tie me over till next one

Excellent video. Very useful as I may have to do the same! Many thanks.

Fingers crossed i get mine tomorrow

hey! i not sure what's the issue, but my Peggy fooled me bad once. It was not running at all, cracking like there is not spark or fuel. Indeed i tought my carbs were jammed or similar. i dismanteled it a couple of times, checked the fuel (was ok), cleaned the carbs (everything was clean) but nothing. Than i was to give up, and the bike started like magic...running like an old tractor but running. Than i drove it for 4/5 km, stopped and after a while i wanted to start it back and nothing...again dead. Again i was thinking something about the carbs....but no, after several attempts (the bike was opened 10 times), i reallized that the issue was ONLY, and i underline ONLY a faulty (or partially) faulty spark plug...it was running only if it was warm enough...but was not running at all under a certain temp, humidity and so on. I bought a new Iridium spark plug and now i have no issues anymore. working like a Swiss clock since 3 years. Also upgrade the battery. The original 160A start current battery i think is too low. I have solved all of the staring issues buying a new GEL type battery with a start current of 200A. The starter has more power cranking the engine and the overall spark for the ignition is much better resulting in a quick start up. Besically if you rebuild the carbs, change the Starter clutch, upgrade the battery to 200A of start current, new Iridium spark plug, you should not have any issues. At least for my Peg it really worked and now is so reliable that puts a big smile on my face every time i use it. Oh yes, regarding the fuel mixture. I had really bad fuel consumption, like and average 10-12 km/l overall (city + open road). I made some experiments, this is what i found... -With the original Air filter, from the "Aprilia's Manual", you should have the Clip on the 3 round of thr carb Needls, meanwhile under the carbs the fuel jet screw unwinded at 3-3.5 turns. With this fuel mixture i had really bad fuel consumption, yes it works but goes rough on the low RPMs (from 1500 to 2500), after that is better but makes some blackish smoke on full throttle. Analayzing the spark plut colour, it was really dark with a lot of carbon deposits (too rich). The main jets are standard 112.5 -After almost 7 years of ownership i have made my own carb settings. -original Air filter - Clip on the first upper round of the needle (the needle goes as deeper as possible) - The fuel jet screw unwinded at 2.5 - 2.75 (you will need to open it a bit at 3 rounds if the outside temp will go more that 30 degrees Celsius) - The main jets are 100 With this Carb Setup i am going at 17/18km/L with no regards of the throttle :D also in the low-mid RPM, the bike is extremly more gentle, no puch pushes as before and also the throttle is more reactive and has a better feeling. P.S with this carb setup i had a drag versus a CF MOTO 700MT (35kw) and i was faster :D ROTAX Power!! Cheers!

In Jimmy's next video, he will be putting "Olive" back together "Blindfolded" 🙈🤣 "Can he do it?"🤔 Answers on a postcard please.

Good work.did it work

Is the old exhaust system for sale ?

Fixy fixy?!

What a wonderful day!! And finishing off with a visit to see my son @ Armourgeddon Miltary museum, home of the only Tank paintball battles in the UK!! PERFICK GROMIT!! xxxj(Rosie)❤️❤️❤️

Is that a red Faragey cap hanging on the window?

Is Rosie an Auto jim? I need to change my gearbox goop too.

Go Rosie!

Some of your journey commentary had me howling! 🤣 Beautiful scenery, makes me want to go there...in my gold 75 saloon cdt no less! 😁

My 7 year old thinks the pre-facelift 75s look like Jaguar XJs of a similar age. I guess it's the double front headlamps, and the saloon shape and the rear lamps are very similar also! "Ooh look another 75!"...Errr, no.

E10 V's Super Unleaded. Unbelievable. I have never taken any notice of that before. Just filled up at my local "Gas Station" (feck off it's the "Petrol Garage"), set the trip to "0", and ride until I have to put the reserve on. Then I know by my mileage how far I can go before I needed to fill up again. (No fancy fuel gage's on my old bikes). Always used the same garage, and the same fuel. So that is very interesting Jim 🤔 Food for thought (Egg and bacon sandwich🥚🥩🥓🥪. Cake🍰. Tart🥧. Doughnut🍩).

Hello partner in crime!! Luv and awkward stuff🤣🤣❤️xxRosie

Is the gen 2 used worth buying in a 3rd world country as a day to day bike?

I used to have the same issue on my 1973 Montessa Cota 247, it would regularly snap the key so i had spares, where I got them from I do not know but I used to have them. Glad you got it working anyway.

Thanks for taking the time to do this. Just fixed mine. All the best.

Did figure out the issue with it?

Perhaps getting out for a blast would help clear the mind.

Sorry to hear about your depression. I also have problems with it. A lot of people have low levels of Vitamin D in there system in this country, which independent studies have shown has a big effect on your mental health. (And your immune system) I've started taking vitamin D 3 pills (2000 I u ) and this has made a big difference to my mood. It's cheaply (£8 for 96 pills ) and easily available from Super Drug and similar places . Certainly worth a try. Have a look at Dr John Campbells you tube videos, he's done a few about vitamin d. My Fjr battery goes too flat to start after about 2 week's, probably because of the alarm/immobilizer. So I've got a 12v power socket fitted to mine and I charge the battery through this regularly to keep it up to snuff. Hope things improve for you Best wishes

Beautiful dog pal.

Chin up, pal. I have weeks of depression like that sometimes. I just need to re centre myself hopefully you'll be back on the cake in no time

Look at all them bikes!!!

What was the size of the box spanner that fits into the damper?

Maybe I missed it in other video, but you dont mention why you replced the seals agian and went for the full Slinky kit. I have a slight weep on one fork leg, rather than only replacing the seals and circlips, is it better going for the full hog and replace the bushes as well?

New sub here. You had me at conservatory 🎉

Yeah middle finger to all the dipshit drivers. Glad Spurt is whole again :)
