Re: Rebuild update.

Yes, it'll be good to see how they compare.
I've had a chest infection for the last 10 days so haven't made any progress with it yet

Re: 25 years

It's a shame that it gets such a bad rap from the "real" bikers, classing it as a girl's bike. They've obviously never ridden one & seen how much fun these little bikes can be in the real world.

Re: Bike cuts out after revving

This hole has a pipe that goes inside your tank & should exit at the rear. They sometimes get blocked, or the rubber drain hose that's attached to it gets crimped which then allows water to build up...

Re: Bike cuts out after revving

Is the bike stored outside? I had an issue where the tank drain tube was blocked which allowed rain to make its way into the fuel causing issues on my gen 1 bike. Could be worth draining the tank...

Re: Windchill

I used to ride every day in all weathers as I didn't own a car as I couldn't afford one (Still don't strangely). The worst chill factor I suffered was riding around 20 miles to work in temperatures...

Re: Rebuild update.

But it was sat up on the stand when I walked in & noticed it & there isn't anything on the floor. It is very strange

Re: Rebuild update.

I'm baffled as to how it's happened. Maybe have some sort of animal living in there during the night time

Re: A ride in the rain

Yet another quick update. I'm waiting on my bearing from TWF Racing in the States, but had to chuck the forks on to see what it looks like. I'm quite liking it now [emoji16]I have some clip ons...

I used to ride every day as I didn't own a car & there were times when I enjoyed riding in some atrocious weather, I wouldn't dream of it now. My old boss used to say that he wouldn't get the bike...

Re: Rebuild update.

Ok, a quick update on where I'm up to at the moment.
I'm having a go at building my own seat unit just to make the bike look different. It could just be one of those "waste of money" things that I...

Re: lets talk coffee

I'm a big fan of Asda's Peruvian ground coffee, it's a really nice blend, fairly strong, but with a nice after taste.

Re: Front brake callipers - rebuild or replace?

Re: Rebuild update.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that it is put as an advisory. If not, the bearing & bush are about £50, so will get one ordered

Re: Rebuild update.

Just the top linkage, it looked a little rough when removed. I've regreased it, but you can hear a tiny clunk when moved up & down. You can't feel any movement though.
