Round 2, FOAK: 1982 Kawie KZ550 C3 LTD Restoration

Discussion in 'Motorbike Technical Discussion' started by Biker Dude, Sep 22, 2009.

  1. The subcontinentals[1] had it first, tho'. One of our PhD
    students[2] didn't realise that until I told him. "Oh, yes, we do have that
    word -- p'kar!" (Roughly approximating his pronunciation; Chambers gives
    it as 'pakka' with a horizontal bar over the second a.)
    [1] Hindustani, according to Ch.
    [2] Muslim of Pakistani origin so I presume he speaks Urdu, a form of
    Hindustani.

  2. Well, of course they did. That's where the Brits nicked it from.

    It's jjust hysterical to watch Krusty, for the umpteenth time, try and
    appear erudite.

    Mmmmm.... Rattle guns. No substitute for a torque wrench for refitting, but
    by 'eck they make life simple at times.

    Hu yuss. Along with my MityVac, Morgan carb tune and MotionPro chain
    alignment tool. Tools that make a job simpler and give less margin for ****
    up.
    Did an engine swapout on a mates SV650 last week. Even though the bike
    looked clean, I still ended up coated in grime, oil, shyte of all
    descriptions that had lodged in previously undiscovered places.

    I always remember the large pot of barrier cream after starting.
