Naughty Nigel Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hi folks, After too many years of not riding I decided to dig my trusty YPVS out of the garage over the weekend, and have been giving her a good clean and polish. I had thought of selling her, as I am getting a bit old and rounded to be doing daft things on bikes, but seeing her sleek black and red lines I might just rethink that one. It looks as if I will need to fix the fuel tap as it leaks when I try to turn it. I gather there are seals kits available so that should be easy enough to do. However, the aircraft style fuel filler cap is more of a mystery. The key turns, but the cap will not open. I have tried removing the Allen head screws, but these don't seem to get me anywhere. And in any case, if the locking mechanism won't retract, the cap won't open regardless. I have a horrible feeling that I might have to drill it out. Anyhow, it looks as if I will have a few weekends of fun. Unfortunately it also looks as if I will have to ditch the tyres. They are hardly worn Pirelli's, but the rubber has obviously gone off as they are so hard. There is no point if I cannot get my toes on the tarmac through bends in the wet. Other than that I don't expect to have too many problems, but I shall no doubt be calling in from time to time to ask for advice from those who know. I look forward to your company.

Naughty Nigel Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 NN get it fixed before summer's out and relive your yoof again Thanks guys. That is my plan. I wouldn't mind taking it over for the MGP again for some fresh Manx air and the whiff of Castrol R, but I think 'management' might have something to say about that.
