Faulty petrol injectors?

Anybody know the symptoms of leaky petrol injectors and how to test them on a V6 Duratec? Currently using more petrol than expected (especially as it only does about a mile before switching to LPG) and there is possibly a bit more in the way of exhaust smoke on a cloud start - more grey than white b...

Re: Two wheels good.

It's incredible what a difference trials riding makes to your road riding. I wouldn't worry about stopping and balancing, I always rode to the no stop rules anyway. A pivot turn is handy to be able to do but TBH at your first trial just getting through all the sections even if you 5 them is an achi...

Have you chopped the silencers off yet, no idea why but most people seem to manage to make them produce more noise than a simple straight pipe would.

Re: Two wheels good.

Make sure to visit a local trial first and have a squint at what the easy and hard routes are like, if it's your first trial nobody will really mind if you switch between them but it's pointless putting yourself off by jumping straight in on the expert route. If you are in a rocky area Mx boots will...

Re: Two wheels good.

Re: I seem to of done something stupid yet again

At least the workshop is full of nice stuff! Given what it could look like I don't think that roof is actually too bad. I would reserve judgment on fitting a new vinyl roof until it's all welded up. If it comes out lovely I wouldn't bother. You could always paint it two tone to keep the same style. ...
