1999 Naked for sale

[Taipan]

I bought this as a project bike as it had been standing for a couple of years. I've got it running now and have been commuting 300 miles a week on it with no problems. It went through the MOT okay but the tester said the indicator bulbs were faded and ideally should be replaced. So I binned them and put a set of LED's on there which flash too bloody fast. Apparently it needs a new flasher on it which are £15 on ebay. Fuel light is permanently on so it needs a new sensor, about £10 on ebay. Fork triples could use some paint and the fork lowers laquer is typically messy and there is a light scuff on the seat panel. The seat is cracking a bit and could use recovering replacing? It was running a bit rough which turned out to be a blocked pilot jet. Whilst searching for this I re-balanced the carbs and I think I've made them worse due to my crappy carbtune as the bike seems a bit buzzier than before. Sigh. Got an annoying oil leak which i haven't bothered to do anything about but suspect its the g/box sprocket wants re-torquing up. If I can think of anything else to kill the sale I'll be sure to let you know! :D

BT014 Tyres were brand new 2k miles ago and the last owner had the calipers rebuilt. Got some service history with it. Scrubs up nice and gets some attention with its bright wheels! Has Renthals, undertray, Carbon slip on which sounds lovely. Rear sets. Starts every time, gets me to work and back etc. Cracking little bike but I'd sell it if anyone wants it. £1195 ono! ;D.

its a bit lumpy at low revs. I did pout iridium plugs in but as ist been standing for a coupel f years it probably needs the carbs cleaning. Dont get me wrong it starts and goes okay but you can feel its not 100% smooth. ]

Lol!:D Aye thats what I thought when I rode it round the block, but it started playing up a bit? Just being honest I suppose. Anyway I sorted it now as it had a blocked pilot jet.:)
