Hi I got a keihin carb off of my bike although the rubber gaskets on it are all worn and shrunk... Can i do a quick fix by using gasket paper and cutting my own... And is there anything diy i can do to seal it up ! thanks guys

Hi guys i just bought a bike with a jianshe motor in it and i am about to do some work on it. but there isn't much info on them on the net. i was wondering if anyone has any info at all on it... any words of wisdom doesn't matter how small the wisdom is haha and does any one know what the valve...

thanks guys i will have to resize the bolt get a new one or as you said a backyard job haha...

This is the complete set up that i took out, as you can see there is a washer in between the two bearings on he left hand side but i dont know if it should be there and if there should be one on the other side. This shows how the bearing fits over the spacer i dont know what you call it...

ok thanks i will get new ones and put them in but can anyone make any suggestions about the difference in sizes between the swingarm bolt and the whole in the frame ? there is quite a bit of movement ? and what about the washer that i was seeing in there should there be one on either side?

Hey i was wondering whether in my servicing of the bike should i be checking the oil filter screen and cleaning it out or not to worry? And if so do i need to take the clutch housing off and find it beneath the gasket in my ducar 125cc ? is there anything i need to watch out for? thanks

well i did the valve clearances today and it has fixed the issue completely so i am over the moon with your help... although its caused another issue that when i go quick to full on the throttle to rev it it dies... when i give it a small amount of revs then throttle it is 100% good.. i am...

nah i will do them both probably on Thursday and see if that makes a difference and see if there actually out... haha yea i an imaging i was curious at the three positions it had at first till i looked at the butterfly positions in the carb, but good thought! i really appreciate your help and...

ok well i have done all that... so if i was to work up the courage to adjust the valve clearances what should i set them to on this bike... ooracing say 4 intake 6 exhaust... what would you recommend... plus i cant find anywhere that explains what incorrect valve clearances affect on the bike...
