  2. Stripped the carb off Sons Aprillia as it wouldn’t start after such a long layoff, stripped the carb down cleaned refitted and running now ready for it’s MOT asap. Hoping for a kindly Monday slot as it’s been so long since he’s ridden something with both an engine and wheels as he’s gotten used to snowmobiles and Moonbikes whilst working.

    Hopefully good weather holds for a while longer.

  3. My 748r went about 3 years ago. But I still have my 749r and V2 Bayliss. Sold my Street Triple Moto2.

  4. Thank God you sold the trumpet, I thought you was going to say you'd lost all of your senses, and sold the K5 :astonished::joy::joy:

  5. The k5 is a big part of the reason the 765 has gone. It’s a brilliant everyday bike.

  6. Glad the 749R didn’t get the chop!
     
  7. I'd be curious as to why you got shot of the 748R? I'm toying with the idea of selling all the bikes (4 of) and buying either a 748R or a 996R as a 'one off precious' bike that is used a lot less...:thinkingface:
     
  8. That’s right, forgot it’s 749r you now have
     
  9. Went to fit my throttle spacers, realised I’d fitted some three years ago when I got the bike!

  11. Today I pulled the injectors out of the 748 and I hope that they are blocked. I will see if I can get these checked and cleaned and hopefully that will sort it.

    I changed the fuel filter last week then managed about half a mile before it stopped again, it was a long, hot push back home...
     
  12. Try connecting a spray can of carb cleaner to the injector with a pipe, and then cycle the injector with a power supply.
    You will see if there is any blockage
