Rufio Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Just thought I'd post it in the classics because it's old! Was given this for free by friends as a non-runner. Decoked the head, changed the chain and fluids, added some not so necessary bits to tidy it up and it passed it's MOT first time! First bike project with my dad and it's been great fun, I feel I've learned a lot (except that you need to check the fuel regularly on it!) Whaddya think guys?

Rufio Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 Cheers guys, nice to see I've spent my time well! It still needs some cosmetic work and come the winter months, I'll probably take it off the road and do the rings and maybe bore it out 5cc or so. I think I'll hold onto it until I pass my full test and then I'm hopefully gonna go for something like an 80's 400 or 250. Not sure yet, something fun though! (And yeah, all down Andy, well remembered!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufio Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 Where's the chain guard? Well spotted! It was off at the time while we were waiting on the other one, there's a new one on now. I've attached a picture that I've just taken on my phone. Please excuse having one shiny front fender and a rusty one at the back, I've just taken a break from cleaning it up!
