saw the fist pic and I thought "very nice" saw the second and WOW. done a great job there. nice paint job too!! (although i prefer the wire wheels)
-
my brake pedal is slightly below the footrest, that way i can rest my foot on it with out depressing the rear brake!! may be its just the setup, but never had any probs in that dept.

having a bike helps

line the tank with POR15, available from www.frost.co.uk £33 inc vat

I would say the rings are gummed up and the bike needs using. best to service the bike which would only take couple of hours (especially the valve gaps) clutch slipping and the throttle cable needs renewing or adjusting near the grip ebay is good , speed sport will have them but it'll cost ya pilot jets are still blocked either get the professionally cleaned or use ultrasonic bath. connection is under the left rear cover its a off white nylon triangle just infront of the chain and behind the oil switch. put new bulbs in!! drewps

saw that ages ago, nice to revisit though
-
I would say its the solinoid, just make sure you are getting power from the starter button as they have a habit of coming off and all the connections are good (the smaller wire ones as you have checked the thick ones) drewps

you can take the plates off and renew with new/breaker part, or retap if you think there is room
-
they did enlarge the hole a bit, but new needles will compensate and I've had no problems!! most carbs will be worn by now anyway, so get the kits

could be a bad battery not keeping charge thus affecting the alternator. It happened on mine and took me ages to suss (I even changed the voltage regulator) the battery was only 1 month old. now it charges a peach

Matt, good ride there ( yes I'm biased) DOHC is a later "euro styled" model from '81 and comes in two flavours 45 BHP or 34 bhp (usa market) this has nothing to do with your SOHC model so be careful. There are also custom, heritage models sharing the same engine but with a different frame and longer forks. Both my carbs had their pilot needles snapped off and I had someone push them through. rebuild kits from here

reminds me of the classic "passage to bankok" by Rush........ddda da dadada

if you leave the bike on the main stand, you can get away with out draining the oil. It will pee out when on the side stand ( i know from experience )
