9MM fuel line will work, my current line is 9.5MM or 3/8 inch. The package listed it as 3/8 inch [9MM]. I have had the throttle in all positions from idle to WOT with no problems. however, while in WOT it was for short durations only.  :blush:
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Understandably  :flag_of_truce:
Nothing beats the sound of that old engine howling at full revs and blasting towards the soundbarrier :good2:
Cause your ambulance would do mach 1, right? After all,  you are the Red Power Ranger  :rofl2:

Thanks though. I will install the fuelline as soon as i get a hold of a new heatshil for the tank.

Cheers

Thats what our forcast looked like in 91. I bet that common for you but not this late in the season?

For southern Alberta even -20 for extended periods is unusual...more normal for Manitoba where I grew up.  -30 in March is very unusual for anywhere near the 49th parallel (ie US border).  Yes we are  :bad: with envy for Aussies this time of year, or for that matter, the California folks who see no need to own a pair of wool socks.

All the old snow was almost gone.

Nice!  I am actually liking the idea of a "down" season - makes it easier to tear into the bike for mods or preventative maintenance without rushing to get back on the road.

At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I bet it's 60 in Norway today.  (popcorn)

Here's a long shot,  have you got a spare left hand front 1TX or 36Y brake caliper?
If you have just try that in the place of the rear caliper you've got.  It will fit, I used one for a rear on my FJ.
As I say, it's a long shot.


Would the left blue dot fit too??

Joe, actually to its quit hot... 32 f, or as we call it 0 degrees celcius... Beeing a metric country and all...  :rofl2:

Honestly don't know Ken.   The blue spots fit the 3CV and later, so I doubt it.  Have you got one to try or measure?

keand3

I have a blue dot fitted,  but as you said it fits 3CV and later so i don't think so either. Will measure and see. I have my right 1TX caliper but can't find my left one. Guess I'll have to find one on eBay I guess..
