Can't see one in the download section. Is an online one available :?: Failing that, anyone got a hard copy :?: Otherwise I'm going to be asking a LOT of questions on here lOl

(like, what are the tyre pressures supposed to be :?: )

Cheers, will get one :yup:

Anyway, just went to get the bike registered, and it needs a few things doing, which is a pain in the arse :sad1: Can anyone help me with the following info:

1 The fuel tank vent is missing, spraying petrol everywhere (I only found that out while riding it to the test centre lOl ) .

Question 1 - Does anyone know where I could source one on it's own? I've seen a complete assembly on e-bay, but that seems a bit OTT.

2 It's too loud, 104 Db, got to get it down to 95.

Question - I guess it's a race can, can you get Db killers for these, or do I need a std silencer to get through the test?

3 They want a "wheel guard" , which I guess would be a hugger. It's got the X1 swing arm, will the X1 hugger still fit on an s1?

4 Needs a red reflector on the back, I think I can work that one out myself.

Apart from that, it felt great to actually ride it. The DRZ400 now feels distinctly underpowered.

Number 3 may be the hardest, the swing arm has been delugged, not sure how I can fit a hugger :?

Hmmm, just found this recall notice for the vent valve, hopefully the rest of the bits are in the fuel tank :!:

Nothing stopping you knocking up some L brackets and drilling and tapping holes into the swinger to attach. Or a different swinger.

Have you joined Buells Down Under? Someone there may be close to help.

Ta, I wasn't sure if it was kosher to drill into the swinger. I have joined Buells Downunder, and also Buellers Downunder, some sort of rift has gone on. Anyway, they are both pretty quiet in general, and most posters are on the East Coast. Besides, I always ask stupid questions on here first, because you know the answers to most of them lOl

Hi,
" 2 It's too loud, 104 Db, got to get it down to 95".
old school answer - If all you need to do is make it quieter - comedy answer is to stuff the end can with steel wool, it will quieten it down long enough for the test and burn off in a 100 miles or so (don't even need to strip the can to get it out) :yup:

Drill a 3mm drainhole underneath the swinging arm to stop water pooling (if it ever rains where you are ;) lOl

They've already tested it once and didn't fail it for emissions, so I guess there isn't a test for it.

After reading this thread:-http://www.ukbeg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=18530&hilit=back+of+the+shed I imagine I may have no packing left, so I'll start off by repacking it. Anyone know how much packing I need? I don't want to blow it up lOl

Found the top of the vent valve, it was sticky taped to the wiring in the headstock :oooops: I guess the shippers knocked it off. No sign of the bottom part, I'm going to have to drain the tank and fish around for it.

What I meant was, if they need to do an emissions test, they will want to stick a probe up the exhaust, which they won't be able to do if it's crammed full of wire wool... lOl ...nothing to do with the emissions per se.
In response to how much you need to repack, a 'standard' pack for one silencer will suffice, it's a small can compared to most bikes. You just need to wrap the 'blanket' around the perforated pipe (and secure it with masking tape) until it's a sliding fit into the can, it's not meant to be rammed solid.
