Not read all the replies, sorry but - main thing is to keep the foam dry, or it will rot. Or when you jump on the bike, water will be squeezed out of the foam and down your trouser leg, making you look like you forgot your Tenaman. Really, you need to fix the inside of the cover - not much going to ...

2 years into owning my Nissan Leaf 30kw, and it's great for the school run (no warming up to wait for) but that's about it. Charging on a trip is a complete nightmare, and rapid chargers cost per mile pretty much the same as diesel. Imagine a ICE car, that only holds enough fuel to do 80 miles. A fu...

Bill and Ted's excellent wank.

Bill and Ted's bogus wank

Thanks for the input. Everybody's back is different. Osteopath helps me, my back tightens up and the manipulation helps make it more mobile. They are more delicate these days, thought it might be because they are more scared of getting sued. But guess maybe they've found new techniques. I tried a ch...

Had a bad back for decades, old MX injuries, and one leg 35mm shorter than the other (MX injury). I've used osteopaths for 30 years. My original was amazing - first time he manipulated my back I thought he'd snapped me in half, but I always moved better after treatment. Younger osteopaths seem to be...

Anyone have a thread file i can borrow for a couple of days ? https://www.frost.co.uk/sae-thread-file/?gclid=CjwKCAiA3pugBhAwEiwAWFzwdYMLVxufhfIoLbMjM0S8A8xfdZ07QPbOOyUkJQ5JiN1Z2LuV8xeyuxoCEW8QAvD_BwE This sort of jobbie.... 24tpi Another thought for threads that have worn, had damage etc, is Locti...

Always found him annoying, cheesy OAP humour, not my cup of tea.
Vernon will be better, but maybe that's damning with faint praise.

Apologies - not kept up with the thread, but just an update on my life with the Leaf. Yesterday, spur of the moment trip to Llandrindod Wells to pick up some parts, 48 mile round trip from my house. 50 miles showing on the charge, but this basically tells you there's no way you'll do 50 miles on it....

There's a 99/00 Blandit 600 workshop manual on carlsalter.com It's a kosher site, despite the look and the ads. Thanks for that - site is indeed very helpful, and shows that a UK bike would come with #90 mains, but German bikes had #98 mains in carbs 1+4, and #100 in carbs 2+3. Float heights were a...

Many thanks to all.

Running the OE pipe. mains are definitely #98 and #100
float heights were all over, air screws different settings.

I'll put it back together - if it starts and runs it's a winner, was flooding and only firing on one....

Hi - would anyone know the carb float height on Bandit 600s, 1997?
Standard main jet sizes would also be helpful.

Came in for a carb clean, but wasn't told someone had played with it first..

mains are 2 #100 and 2 #98.

thanks

My latest input - sorry, I've not kept up with the thread, but.. As time goes on, the less practical the Leaf is. During the cold weather, battery range dropped significantly, and not from using the heater too much (works off the traction battery - I try to keep warm off the heated seats and steerin...

I'd like to try acupuncture, but I personally think the rest of it is probably bollocks. I tried acupuncture at my old osteopaths, alongside the manipulation - reluctantly. Didn't help my back much, but he also did it on my shoulder, and it worked very well - one sitting. What surprised me was, som...

It would be nice if there was some visible evidence of overall strategy and planning on transport infrastructure (like charging points) rather than just leaving it to a rag, tag and bobtail of independents, petrol companies and individual local authorities. Universal connectors, payment by the usua...

In a weird kind of way you (as in everyone else, not actually you unfortunately :D ) actually want there to be a shortage of fast chargers for now. For all the government incentives and what not, the thing which will really drive growth in the number of chargers is user demand That's precisely bugg...

On the positive side (no pun intended) we use it almost always for school run, and grocery shopping. On charge overnight means we set the heater on timer, so when you get in on frosty mornings, the car is toasty warm, and defrosted, and you don't have to wait for the engine to warm up if not plugged...

Just for reference - had to charge up on a trip last week, and took a photo of the screen on the charge point. Instavolt- charging at 30 lw 28 miles added to range. Cost? :angry-cussingblack: £5.84 :flame: This was at a KFC in Shrewsbury, points are cropping up at fast food or coffee places, so you ...

thanks for the answers. Ebay is gone for me. I do sell on marketplace, problem I have is we are in Mid Wales, OK for selling stuff locals want, but selling stuff like bike parts that need shipping doesn't go so well. Maybe as suggested I should join groups of FB to sellbike specific stuff :thumbup:

OK - just my reply to the subject (not read anything else as it's beer o'clock.) We have a 2016 Nissan Leaf. Range is supposed to be 100 miles. The car is brilliant for short runs - charge at home and back. It's the charging stations that are the problem. The 50kw quick chargers are too much in dema...
