Glad you got it sorted :thumleft:
i totally rebuilt both my Bings. never seemed to be reliable. ran well one day kak the next. Ballancing was an issue. idle inconsistent etc etc.
Just binged both carbs and fitted two 34 Mukuni carbs. Got a few electrical gremlins to figure out and hope to test...
@ Gravel Man
we heard about the accident hope your mate is OK
We rode that section as well and it was ugly. when we got of it we were relieved and we both said someone would have the misfortune of going down on it. must have been very uncomfortable on a 1200
@BIG DOM
I'm a little confused ??? ???
I agree that a large proportion fall into the wealthy fat twat suite bracket. We piss our selves laughing at them too. We did also secretly admit that if we could afford a twat suite we probably would have one. ;) Seriously so what? These guys make sure...
@BADGER we missed you dude. You would have loved it.
@LORD KNORMOER both LAMO and myself enjoy the technical stuff and the red 2 was very challenging on the plateau . We followed the track diligently taking no short cuts and travelling at a reasonable pace but also avoiding punctures as it was...

Very well organized this year.
Great venue far superior than last year especially for the KZN boys who were stuck away in the arse end of the resort last year.

If you were English speaking the entertainment was interesting ??? Never heard...
The scarey thing is that the head bearing had just been replaced by the previous owner. :o
Progressive springs fitted :ricky:
yip cornering is fun again!
A little update:
I took the bike to a local BMW dealer which wont be named and told that the head bearings were OK.
I sent the bike to TrTec for some bits to be added and they found the head bearings to have play. More than one revolution on the torque nut >:( >:( WTF
They re torqued them...
@lecap. there was a noticable difference in throttle/rev response with cat removed.
The remapping just improves the all round ridability of bike. makes a significant difference :thumleft:.
