It’s not a picture I want in my head. KK in the bath pics definitely banned, thanks Tango for alerting us to this depravity.

If it only sometimes spins the starter then the solenoid or main cabling may need attention. It also could be brush gear in the motor. If the motor spins but the engine isn’t turning then it could be inside the starter motor the gear race is spinning. I stopped mine spinning with a little packing to clamp it tighter between the two ends of the motor.

On My Twin firstly the starter was spinning internally as it wasn’t clamping the outer gear part. Then I had a dodgy solenoid. As Michael said look at the electrics first and ensure the voltage is getting to the starter.

Looking good Tango.

You could always replace the terminal and plug instead of the whole unit if the unit is serviceable.

Great vids Tango, thanks for posting them

Just an update for this year, Jacks Hill Cafe has a Ton Up day each year, and 2014 it will be held on Sunday 13th July. Maybe we can arrange something?

For me to understand that, please

Is that a word play with a dwarfs height?
“afoot, too” is like one foot, two inch ?

Cheers, Michael

Yes, afoot is a word meaning happening, and a foot is how tall KK is (30 cm in the metric system)

And now it’s even funny to our European neighbours 😆

KK is about afoot too

Great pics, thanks for sharing Marko

KK is on the money with that guess 🙂

Already voted 🙂

Yay.

Hope it went ok mate.

Some of the pigs weren’t all that impressed in the morning KK 😉

Use the BT45’s. Avons are shit in my experience.

My experience of road going knobbly tyres was that the grip was sorely lacking, especially cornering.
To each his own though, hope you enjoy the ride.

Unfortunately not, would have but for the rear mudguard apparently.

More pics if anyone wants to look at

Just adding in that a poorly solenoid can also cause the starter to be sluggish. If the contact tips inside are burnt they will induce a high resistance and lower the voltage to the starter.

Would be good to organise a meet there for the twins. It’s very motorcycle friendly. I’m hoping to go to their bike night this Friday weather permitting

Spent many happy hours on one of them, it was indestructible despite us yobbish teenagers abusing it over the fields for years.
