Ok guys, I need some help/advice with acquiring parts please.
I did come across some of the info a while back but can't seem to find it now. The bike is a 97/98 850 4tx.

HT leads - mine are arcing badly every time it rains and I'm getting sick of the bike trying to kill me in the rain. I know there are quick fixes but I want to put some pukker ones on.

Throttle cables - mines at the end of it's adjustment and still has too much play (was well over 10mm play at the grip when I got the bike)

Carb refurb kit - bike's running rich and carbs well out of balance, and choke doesn't work. So I'll need whatever kit(s) necessary to sort both carbs.

Valve shims - later in the year I'll be doing the valve clearances, so don't need shims yet, but I thought I'd mention it while I remember.


If anyone can advise good quality and value products and suppliers it would be gratefully received.

Lastly, if anyone here can post or send photos of the under seat wiring it would be a huge help - the tail-light is on constant with the ignition on and someone's been messing about with the wiring there ( possibly the heated grips feed? and looks like a tail for a trickle charger in there) I'll post a pic when I can. There's also what I think is a fuse in a plastic box which dangles down near the rear shock which I will relocate when I know what it's for.
As you can probably guess, I'm not too hot on electrics and Haynes manual isn't helpful here, so any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I'm not an 850 rider but the JBX site has a lot of valuable hints tips and manuals:

HT leads you can buy from Magnecor, need to phone but are very helpful.

 

Throttle cables Wemoto or Evilbay

 

Carb refurb kit Litetek for seals (Viton) or Nrp, Kedo as well.

 

Shim's Ebay usually produces cheapest !!

 

Cant help with the wiring on a mk2 but it should all run along the right side of the frame i believe.
