After reading the post in another thread relating to service manuals, I thought I'd post these here in case they are of use to anyone.
Triumph Bonneville 790 Service Manual can be downloaded from my own link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xfW8tMruGcjiIAPgBwCXkRBG1jH7guGA/view?usp=sharing
Tuning and suspension setup docs also attached to this post.

The 650 strip down saga continues,
Engine is completely apart... removed the sludge tube from the crank only to find very little shit in there (so someone has done it at some point) but this was the one thing that would have worried me if we didn't do it, so peace of mind at least. Let the re-assembly commence,
Confession time .......
I'm shitting myself about the total cost of doing this

The fact you managed to undo it speaks volumes, sometimes those things require some serious work to remove them and a bonus it was clean,

Having overhauled my old 650 and rewired her, apart from the braking she was IMHO as good as a T140, I would ride from Stafford to Harlech me on my T120 and my pal on his T140 and the sod couldn't catch me the T120 was better balanced and the older Anal carbs were better than the MK2 concentric's, There is a famous stretch of road from the bottom of Harlech [low town] to the castle [High town] 1 in 3, 1 in 4, 1 in 3 tight curves all the way up [or down] and she could fly up there from a standing start,......ahhh good old days

The road today in Harlech

Ach that's kidstuff compared to around my neck of the woods. Both roads into my village have numerous, steep, and tight bends, one is a steep, almost 180 degree, hairpin and a number of others are ninety degree. When traffic transfers to the Old Military Road at the Rest and Be Thankful there is a steep, tight hill climb there too. I love these roads but they seem to absolutely terrify a lot of people.

Hey guys, anyone got a copy of the old Tune ECU for Windows in their files? My Daytona is playing up with it's idle valve again and I've just discovered that I lost my copy of the program when I had to reformat my laptop a while ago.

Panic over as I searched my emails and discovered a copy of TuneECU for Windows in there that I'd sent, along with a custom map to someone else so I just downloaded the files back onto my system.
What has been happening a few times on a run out today and once or twice since getting the Daytona MOT'd is that, when pulling in the clutch and dropping the revs while changing down the bike has just conked out and needed a prod on the starter to come back to life again. It seems to me that the IACV valve, notorious on 955i's isn't picking opening quick enough or needs tweaked in one way or another and, because of this, when I close the throttle the valve isn't opening to allow air to bypass the throttles and keep the engine idling. Plugging her in to Tune ECU I found that, while the IACV was set at zero the idle fuelling was set at minus 5 so I've bumped the idle fuelling up to plus one to see if that sorts things out and I also told the software to reset the IACV. Not been out on her to see if that has remedied things yet but maybe tomorrow I take her out and, if it isn't sorted I'll try tweaking it a little more. It's bloody annoying as the IACV motor is a brand new one that I plugged in maybe three or four hundred miles ago.
