hi folks i bought a 900ss a few weeks ago with the plan of stripping it and sorting it for next year but as usual i thought bugger it. its going on the road , shes been sitting for the best part of 6 years and stung me for £800 , so far i have changed the belts ,plugs ,chain & sprockets . im just wondering have i missed anything , had too take apart the rear brake arm this morning as it was jamming so as far as i think im covered

have missed anything folks


here she is , still planning on geting the wheels and frame powder coated at xmas but just want to get her on the road

You didn't mention fresh oil and if its been sitting so long clean and free up the front disc bobbins or it'll fail the mot for fluctuating brake resistance

£800's not much for a 900ss?

You'll need a sprocket cover for the MOT.

There's a handy guide here - just go through the list!
