Subject: Old Habits, Tripmaster Units of Measurement + Carburettor


Hi folks,

Just got back from a long weekend in Scotland and the weather up there
is now bearable for motorcyclists :-)

Old Habits: Firstly an appeal from the guys up north to Germans who look
a bit confused when somebody nods or waves to them. It's a custom to
acknowledge other motorbikes, regardless of nationality so please join
in. It's not necessary to be as keen as one Italian who wheelied up the
road past the pub with no helmet on but style was always their strong
point.

Tripmaster km + miles: I enabled the SPEED link on the tripmaster and
tried out the MILE connexion. This only seems to affect the distance
measurement and not the units that the speed is measured in which stays
the same as the original clock. As I've got a km clock I always have
speed in km/h on the tripmaster but I can have distance in km or miles
(too confusing for me!).

Carburettor: I'm looking to weaken the mixture mid-throttle by putting
in a smaller needle jet as the needle depth is not adjustable. The
manual only gives numbers for the main jets and pilot jets. Does anybody
know the size of the needle jet and where I could get a replacement (or
a different sized needle for that matter)?

That's all for now

Regards, Phil
