Just came from mechanic and he even went trouble pulling top end off again just check things out. Seems Mechanic has two concerns/symptoms massive kick back like you only going to kick it once and he is a bloke that's been around a while. Also tried to do compression test but after using decomp to tdc then kicking through only getting reading 70psi. but when decomp cable disconnected can't kick over well enough to get reading. Umm so we are back to chasing CDI off a known runner to plug/play? The original CDI was replaced not so long ago by previous owner ( genuine $900) it was giving intermittent spark so sourced one from Ingitech which is producing great spark but abnormal? kickback.
Getting expensive bargin

There's been more recent discussion in here about this Belgrada bike, such as this thread:-
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...rt-but-82406-2

Apparently, you can never have enough threads about a particular model of bike.

There was always a bigger following for these bikes in Germany than within the UK, IMO.
in the earlier HUBB threads that I linked to in earlier postings there are websites based in Germany about the bike and some of those sites sell related items.

When kicking this bike, I used to keep my instep/heel off the kicker and used the flat of my foot - in that way, when it does kick back (and they do sooner or later) it would throw my foot off the kicker rather than transmit a big force along my tibia/fibia.

Here's the search that I used to find threads about the kicking issue:-
Search | Horizons Unlimited

Here's a couple of more:-

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...nt-start-24624

They remind me that "aukeboss" was the guru in here for all things related to the XT Yamaha but he doesn't seem to have been around for quite some time.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
