    This is the exact same thing that happened to me, it was stuck solid. What i did was to get a screwdriver in from above and lever it out. then when it moved a bit i would spray carb cleaner(wd40 will do) on the bit that i could see. then I would push it back in and try and lever it back out again, each time it would come out a bit more. Be careful thought when trying to lever it as it could bend if you don't keep it straight. It may seem as though it will never come out but eventually it will.

    yep although yours looks a bit more oily to me. Must have been hard work getting that bugger out. It will make a big difference once cleaned, a lot smooter and faster.

    if the pv got stuck, some tip here. first warm up the engines, then rev ya bike bout 1-2 minutes, after that wait the engines cool down, lastly try to pull the pv again.
    cheers!

    yo

    that was one hell of a bastard to get out!!!

    the blade now is half the size it was!

    the oil and residue was caked on,this must have been the 1st clean its ever had for sure

    the mileage m8 is 14507......i assume it km,lol

    but yeah the light has beaten me today so i will resume in the morning,so i guess this will have sorted my problems now guys?

    i.e boggy and slow dramatically b4 pv kicks in?

    i hope so,if nothing else i have found that there is bolts missing that shouldnt be......god only know why they are not there

    talking of missing bolts!

    I just discovered that 2 on the left side are missing, so i moved the top one from the right side and put it into the bottom missing hole on the left, i dunno if its me but im sure the ride is alot smoother,

    well... i aint got a cdi restriction, my bike is to old.,, but when my pv was stuck open all the time it was very grumpy upto 7.8k rpm then flew, it was hard to pull away, hardly any accelleration. i think this worse than being restricted.
