To all my friends here, merry christmas. Hope we all get what we need and what we want too.

Hope to keep up with you all in the new year.

No worries guys, everything is paid for. Was just a glitch somewhere 🙂

Glad to have you here Triplebtx, bike’s looking good. Keep us updated with the progress.

I had to space my seat with some washers to get it to line up square.

I can help them setup a forum if they need one. Let me know.

Everyone knows the FM was only fitted to the Z1000 Phil.

sounds good Phil, can’t wait to see it.

I was wondering about the house move for his mother after his unfortunate passing. Good to know you are helping out there Phil, and thanks for the heads up.

Well said Kwakanaka too, I never met him, but Braii spoke on the phone and was always quietly spoken. He also stepped in with parts when I was in need and didn’t accept even the postage in payment. He was a guy worthy of respect in every way.

Funny you should say that about momentum, I stopped in to see Lonesome today and he said the same thing. Let’s get organised gang.

I’ll look into events in the area, usually there are things going on at Billing Aquadrome. A big campsite which hosts the fizzy / moped event each year.
There’s always bike weekends at Santa Pod too.

I can’t believe it, please keep us informed when you hear any more Phil.

Technique is the most likely candidate for not starting on the kick if the electric starting is ok. The electric starter takes more life so you get a weaker spark, and hareder to start, the opposite of what you have here.
Other than that, it’s tuning, and compression checks, as the starter will help to build a bit of compression and fuel as it spins faster than the kickstart.

Got to the British Superbikes, had a great day, but problems with the Z750 on the way back. One cylinder has gone awol not sure why yet but may call on some help here if I need any parts 😉

[dougyt]

The only course of action is to pull off the side cover and inspect the kickstart mechanism. I’ll try to scan in the page of the manual, or dig out a copy of the scans I had hereabouts as soon as I can.
