I have one and love it. I had an off nearly 3 weeks back, written off, but I like it that much I've bought her back. Must be love.....

Currently thinking of selling the LC. Life is a little busy at the moment and I'm not getting enough play time.

The wife quite fancied the Elsie for herself, until she realised you needed to kick start it and it stinks and it smokes! :-) Bless. Kick start, smoky and that 2 stroke haze... all reasons for wanting one. My good lady actually passed her test on a 350lc. Thats it... I'm saving up ! Fred[/quote] Ex...

Hi all, I had to take some pics of my bike for insurance purposes recently and during the process the bikes were all lined up, so I'd thought i'd share. http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt198/bigbol63/KawaX3.jpg http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt198/bigbol63/Group2a.jpg

Missed seeing you there Adrian, saw your 400 leaving. My LC was parked in front of you.

I love my dremmel. Had to cut the bearing shells out of my ZX10 as there was no where to get a bar on to.

Seem to remember just knocking mine out with a bar of some sort, seemed fairly easy too.

for a closer look?

If I remember i'll get a pic put up, however it just looks like a small spark plug hole, no ceramics at all and it sheared clean with the hole.

I'd get a hacksaw blade and cut into the sleeve towards the thread.

Again once the pressure is off the thread it will turn.

If need be cut two slots 180 degrees apart.

Now that's an idea.

The fact that the head is off is a good start. I'd dril it out. IT NEEDS TO BE CENTRED! Start with a small drill and work up to just under the size of the threads. You will probably find that as you increase the drill hole the pressure on the threads will reduce enough to allow the remaing portion ...

You could try an easy-out..... As it happens I have a set of easy out things. I reckon with plenty of heat could also help. Don't have access to welding gear and never welded. I serviced my mates ford Ka couple of years and one of the plugs snapped like you said !! so i purchased some good quality ...

Morning all. thankfully this is not a prob with my A4. I have a project based on a XS400, but any bike could have this prob. So, I was removing the spark plugs from the engine, 1 out easy. 2nd not so, despite soaking it for a few days when I was trying to remove it the thing snapped off leaving the ...
