It will run Thursday 😉. Its not as far off as you might think. The bike will be done this month, then I have a couple of weeks to fuck around with the rattle cans to paint it 😁 hopefully a month before the LDU I can do some runs on it to get the bugs out.

cuban pete Posted May 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) Rear master cylinder rebuilt, all brakes Bled, electrical fault found, actually running very well. Stuff to do this week. Blow over the new tank satin black, change the oil and get the fairing back on. Mot next Saturday with any luck. Then I need to stress it, try to piss it off and see what breaks..

Everything else that is fucked is going in the bin anyway. Going to build a car port over it this summer so I can crack on with it 😊 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuban pete Posted June 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Spot the dead short... East fix and glad it did it now. The bike is back in bits, so it gives me a chance to check some other things and change the tyres this weekend and we are good to go.

hawkati Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 I rode one to Middlesbrough to watch Oxford's last match of the season. It didn't have 2nd gear but then again it didn't matter. Mental things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noely02 Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Some commutes I just left it in 3rd and rode it like it was an automatic, 30 to way above the sped limit no problem.

cuban pete Posted June 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Back together, exhaust repacked and running really bloody well. New tyres and pads on Wednesday night and then a shake down on Thursday night and we are good to go 😊 I genuinely don't think I can do anymore now as apart from spunking on a front fork refresh and a decent rear shock, it's as good as it going to be. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuban pete Posted June 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Well, it's done. Tyres fitted, fluids checked, new pads and throwovers on. Pack it tomorrow and have Saturday off 😊 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
