    Not many left like that. I know it sounds corny, and old fashioned, but I miss places like that. Nearest I've found to 50s/60s England was the Isles of Scilly. No litter, no dog shit, wild birds feeding from your hand.
  5. First name Dennis?
  6. Hope it all works out ok for you
  7. Silkolene 10W/40 Super
  8. Not as big as the pheasant that hit me on the helmet, nearly lost control, only doing 15 to 20, felt like it weighed 5 stone
  9. I'm still alive
  10. Clutch slipping?
  11. Does that make it middle aged?
  12. Nope, shouldnt sound like that, at tickover with standard pipes on it should be doof doof doof doof You need to be sure that the mechanical settings are correct ie valve clearances/timing chain tension etc as they can be noisy if not right Standard sprockets should get you to 65 to 70
  13. Lets hope it doesnt catch on
  14. Good result Couple of "watch fors" on the Radian: Look after your front fender, prone to crack/break where the bridge plate sits and they are rare As are the fuel tanks Swingarm needs to be cleaned to stop carp buiding up and rotting them out, particularly behind the nylon chain guide that is screwd onto it close to the arm bearings Good luck with it, fabulous little bikes
  15. No, they dont give them away, but if youre chains shagged, then you need to get one ASAP because failure can have you off, vital drive component. Also slack chain can shag your sprockets so you need to check them too Get into the habit of weekly maintenance checks
  16. Well done, pleased for you
  17. Have you checked the timing
  18. Earplugs

    Thats a Englishman for you, youre not alone in putting up with stuff till its too late. If more than a couple of women nationwideare afflicted with something, the National Disease Management (NHS) Service and its offshoots kicks in with a variety of support services/clubs/clinics If youre a bloke, youre likely to end up with "Do you get paid for doing it" "No" "Then stop doing it" Dont give up, there will be something out there to help
  20. Grouchy's just bone idle, it'll be another garage job or a forgotten rust pile
  21. Are you back to standard jets and sprockets, baffles till in the exhausts, good clean air filter, valves correctly adjusted, chain clean/lubricated and correclty tensioned?
  22. Yep, trace your wiring back, sounds like a break somewhere Does it turn over on the start switch? Does it maintain run when started? Do you have the schematic?
  23. I think you're paying for the warranty there, that means there is room for some haggling on it. You'll always pay over the odds from a dealer
  24. Well done, good luck with Mod 2
  25. You must take it back to the people who did the service. If you try to put it right yourself, you will invalidate the warranty
