yeah cheers ol son, i have installed new K&N pods, oval shaped. they not only look good but i see a big difference. i have also changed jets to suit. The pipes have now got a 6 inch baffle inserted to just after the bend and before the turn outs.
will be re stripping the whole shebang over the next few months, i was a tad scared of splitting the cases, for some reason i thought they split left to right, not top from bottom. anyways, the idea was to put a kick start shaft into it and use a z650 case to suit, but i have since been told that wont work. oh well, back to electric start.
still gotta split em tho, the box is not shifting into second, tried all the usual things, and whilst in there, i will change the starter clutch bearings and anything else i can find. maybe even the big end bearings??? dont want to have to do this again.
