Bike Fix chuffness. - SV650.org

Well yesterday, I did it again... I fixed a bike. And not even my own. So that's 2 bikes I've gone and looked at that's not my own that I have managed to fix..
Not a great deal of bikes to get all chuffed about, but it goes to show with the help lovely people and some lateral thinking I have gone from a mechanical no goer. To someone that's reasonably comfortable fixing other peoples bikes.
The best thing is I thought it was just going to be a carb balance, in the end I had to strip off the carb's and release a jammed/coroded choke and then fit a replacement cable. Mr impact driver is such a lovely friend.

Yes it was nice, but it also meant I didn't get time to sort my forks.
