Well, I replaced the main jets on both carbs.
And gave them a blow through in case more shit had managed
To get stuck in the passages.
No one likes a blocked back passage.
Everything was clear so I gave it a kick over https://youtu.be/eEF9mOcUoM0
I love how this thing starts first kick.
Can't/won't take it for a test ride, as it's currently snowing here in Scotland.
Tell ya it was a manic ride to work on the bandit this morning.
More side ways action than I prefer on 2 wheels. One of these days I'll buy a car/ute for the winter.
Not today though ____________________ the humans are dead

right,
i took the seat to be recovered, so that'll be away a week or 2,
also spoke to the vintage japanese motorcycle club (vjmc) about dating the bike for the dvla (vtnz in nz, dmv in the states)
so that got done pretty painlessly
https://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g257/hmmmnz/bridgestone%20200/vjmc%20letter%20Large_zpstsocwcmx.jpg
still waiting for the dvla to send out the paperwork for me to fill in and send back (frankly astounded you cant just download the paperwork, british bureaucracy at its best, of course they've also shut down all their offices so you cant just pick it up either)
so while i was waiting, i thought id work on the mrs suzuki B120 of 72 vintage. (not that she has ever ridden it, but she swears she's doing her licence this year.... )
it hadnt been started in a couple of years and last time i rode it, the fuel would piss out the float bowl, or alternatively run out of fuel because the bowl wasnt full enough.
and since the carbs are almost the same as the bridgestone i thought id steal a float from one of the 4 spare carbs i have, and put that in, also uses a 95 main jet as well which i had a few spare, so a new one of those went in,
put it back together, turned on the fuel,
and...

so pretty happy with that,
first kick after 2 years. might take it out for a spin if im not to drunk after ive done my beer brew in the morning. so probably wont take it out for a ride
i really need to sell my vtr and buy another 2 stroke, ____________________ the humans are dead

well, after a successful brew i was in no fit state to go for a ride on any bike, order of the day was a drunken lunch time nap,
last batch of hops added to the mash ton.
doesnt look very appetising i admit
https://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g257/hmmmnz/DSC_0727%20Large_zps5zu7nbt8.jpg
but sunday was a good day,
first i took pinky (b120) for a ride to find it was running out of gas at full throttle, so pulled the carb and adjusted the float,
another spin and she was bang on, even managed to get to 55mph on the flat hehe
next on the cards was wee red (bridgestone)
had to replace a buggered exhaust gasket, then decided id take her for a spin with out the seat,
ran like a champ!! managed 80mph on the clocks and pulled pretty well getting there,
big red (vtr) got a start up a wee run, as well, just because it'd been such a fruitful day
blacky (bandit) didnt get any love

I'd be pretty chuffed with 80mph indicated speed on any of the older 200's
The X5 will do 83mph on the clock in perfect conditions (no headwind, rider prone, not too many pies consumed) but that's all, it's at peak revs and even if you could gear it up I don't think the standard engine would pull it. ____________________ Be a REAL MAN! |

how fast is 80 on the clocks really though
but yeah i was pretty stoked with that, considering im 110kg and 6'4" not exactly jockey build
i reckon with a tweak to the rotary valves and a bit more fuel id easily get another couple of hp,
the bridgestone tuning manual reckons with expansion chambers, a bit of light porting, re-jetting and timing
should be in excess of 28hp.
how much id believe that im not sure,
to me it feels like about 15ish hp at the moment, may be a bit more certainly not in excess of the 20 something odd hp they quote. ____________________ the humans are dead

well, ive gone and melted another piston,
ffs. new ones on the way,
but looks like ill be swapping out the carburettor on the left side.
something is obviously wrong there.
och well,
hopefully the barrel is still ok, its an even more expensive prospect getting that basdard replated.
