| Hehe don't worry first thing I did was replace the belts. Then I did an oil and filter change. The bike had a new fuel filter and the carbs and fuel pump stripped before I bought it. I was a bit iffy about going out on 10 year old tyres but they are actually holding up quite nicely! At least while I'm running in anyway and not blatting around everywhere. There's as much grip as the Conti-Sports I had on the Monster. I had a scare on the way home, cruising along the dual carriage way at 4K RPM in top gear (about 70mph ish) and all power went. I pulled over and the bike would tick over but as soon as any throttle was applied it bogged and died. Almost had a bloody heart attack as I thought I'd naffed the engine before I'd gone 100 miles. It's then I noticed that the breather pipe to the tank was nipped shut. A quick yank later and all was well. Pictures to follow as soon as I find my digi-cam . . . . no idea where it's got to!  PS. As above drinks all round!  [Edited on 26-4-2006 by tranquil_rage]  |
