Bigwol Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Bought as a bike which wouldn't start in the wet, with no MOT in Nov 2014 - it's taken me almost exactly a year to work through the things that needed sorting - these included a fuel system clogged with jellied ethanol, a suspect TCI box (replaced with Ignitech unit), carbs that needed a thorough overhaul, exhaust fitting and stud problems, and a dragging clutch. Jellied Carb Float Bowls Main Jet needed a clean Mikuni BS32 Carb jigsaw You could eat your dinner off these now! The end result 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Bikes!.......put over 130k miles on mine I can't quite strip and rebuild them blindfolded - but it's close. And I even know where both the detent balls, and their teeny weeny springs go - (apart from under the fridge, that is)! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
