As a matter of interest,what is the metrail Hydrin?

Those are the thicker, aftermarket, non-Bing diaphragms. Half the Bing price with twice the tuning issues. ;D

I don't know why they sell these when people have so much hassle with them,as a matter of interest i spoke to motorworks and the guy i was talking to said he owns a r65 fitted with the after market type and he has had no problems!you go figure!!!i think the no risk bings are the way to go!Julian.

Check out my post "Blown another diaphragm" in this section currently on page 3 ive given up on additives for the time being......i may risk them again soon when im confident the Bing diaphragms are the solution anyone having issues with revs not shutting down should consider replacing the diaphragms with Bing original and research the ingredients of the additives being used on page 5 is my post fuel additive test the pictures of the affect of the additive on the diaphragm will shock you.This was the effect of only one hours exposure.

This is what i use,it's not a addative as such but changes the structure of the fuel,have a look at the "can i use it on my motorcyle question,i spoke to the guy before i decided to use it,Steve Hawkins has been using it for years,his bike has 110k on the clock,Julian.

Beemer I suspect any repair or upgrade to you bike is what causes it to rain the more rewarding or necessary the ride harder it pours...

Julian, Check your quiet idle revs. Your R65 would like about 1050 on the tach. That'll keep the oil pumping into the timing chain case.   Monte

Yep it's doing that Monte,in fact it's just below 1100,around 1080,Julian.
