[geodude]

I'll continue to be patient then and wait for the solenoid to turn up before doing anything else.

[benny hedges]

well it isnt going to turn up today is it lol!

get on with it.

check out the rest of the wiring then you know its bob on when you fit the solenoid.
then its happy daze innit, trouble free riding.

should have got a VTR !

should have got a VTR !

uh i dunno. you can get niggles with any new bike.
what he's bought is a mint example of a well loved bike, owner has spent more time pimping it and cleaning it than riding it.
obviously wasnt any good with elec problems and has got shut.
just a matter of putting right the common defects on the bike then its sorted.
same as getting a storm and having the usual cct, r/r, starter post issues...

difference is, apart from a bit more power, this has already got the brakes and suspension sorted, decent lights etc!!!

lol. Yeah, At least I would only have to change the r/r, ccts, upgrade springs, rear shock, raise the rear end, and erm....

Benny, I was hoping this had already been done but I guess not. I'm not the most mechanical of people but I guess I just need to grow some and delve in. If I fook it up, i'll put you up for the weekend. You could do with some time down south to appreciate just how fooking cold it is oop north.

TBH I was looking at Tuonos before I got the storm, I just couldnt afford one
so a bit jealous

Iam also a bit jealous. You have a working bike. Tony is right. Nothing more annoying than having a bike you can't ride

[geodude]

Started stripping down the bike but need
a) more room in the garage and
b) a paddock or abba stand.
c) a printed out manual.

I was a bit surprised to see a load of salt like residue on the engine under the tank. Needs a good clean and tidy up.

Cant believe how many wires and connectors there are under the tank too

...to be continued.

Chin up, It will all be good in the end. It's like any bike it will have teething problems. You could buy a brand new bike out the factory and t will have niggles.

But what fun your gonna have once she's up and running. Get yourself a pdf workshop manual or something, Important with any bike when doing your own maintenance. You must be able to get one of one of the forums.

I have them all I just prefer them printed out. I am going to see if I can sweet talk work into producing copies for me.

The way this is going you aren't going to give me a run for my money on the next rideout.... I'll have to find someone else to race.

Alistair, you fancy buying an SP1?

I'll have it sorted by then. Failing that, i'll bring the DR-Z

[geodude]

@Tony. I always get a lung full of fuel following you. If only I could work out a way of harnessing it. Especially now I am back to 100 miles per (18l) tank
