Output of stator (AC magneto generator) and wattage used by bulbs, etc.
(Preview)
So, I'm looking for more power! I have a '94 raid. I am hoping to add electric grips and an electric vest. Grips run at about 60 watts. That's almost half of what the stator produces. Are there any aftermarket stators for the bike? Am I looking at a rebuild?

Is it time for a rebore? (tolerances)
(Preview)
I measured my barrel with a bore gauge. It's out of round by about 0.003 (3 thou) Google says it's time for a rebore, would everyone here agree? Would .5mm be enough? Would anyone like to recommend a machine shop, either that I can post to, or that's in the Didcot (S.Oxon.) area? Thanks in advance. Jon....

Possible air leak
(Preview)
I have a 2002 TTR250, starts up fine but when I give it throttle and the rpms settle down, it does this weird vibration/rattling like it has an air leak and the rpms kinda go up a little. Anyone experienced this before? Here is a link to a video I took. https://share.icloud.com/photos/03dsY_k6vXv6i-...

So I've just changed a leaking fork seal and refreshed with new oil. Now we nipped up the 14mm base valve nut at the bottom of the forks with the idea of fully tightening when the fork is back on the bike. We can't get the nut to tighten and it sounds like somethings spinning inside to fork. So a bit of digging...

Seat repairs
(Preview)
Hi all, My seat is missing all of the foam damper pads from the bottom. This means there is a lot of play in the seat when fitted and it rubs on the petrol tank (to the point that I had to get the tank welded as it had rusted through). Is there any specific type of foam / sponge that I should use to fit new dampers?...
