Center stand does not seem big enough to hold the bike properly, will fudge it for now with a bit of wood.

I expect once the bike is done I will just stick with the side stand and take it off.

they have always been marginal at best. Think I welded a plate under each one after checking the pivot wasn't worn

Morning.

The starter motor was not engaging properly so I have taken the alternator cover off for a look see.

There apears to me mucho slack in the starter chain, is this normal?

I have about 15mm of slack? :(
Or shall I just do away with the electric starter altogether.

Is it actually adjustable? I'm not sure if it will make much difference.

My eyes ARE however drawn to your primary drive. That's a LOT of wear. You need a new drive chain (primary, chain, secondary)..!

Yeah It's a job to be done when the engine is back in the bike.

Replaced the front indicators this morning and sorted the speedo.

Now tackling the switch gear, kill button was not working and the starter button was missing.

Lucky I have loads of spares that came with the bikes.

Waiting for front caliper seal kits x two, then I can get the front brakes working.
