. Start-up procedure as per Roger's sheet, carbs balanced and the TPS set. I was shitting myself when I pressed the starter but it started easily so I'm hoping all will be good from now on.

Come on Nick. When’s the final unavailing?
All we’ve seen are some very nice teasers so far

Well iv still got the silly big boot on my leg but i dragged the Aprilia out, its back together and thought id try it out, the we bike seems straight but i wanted to see if it fired me over the bars again
. replaced the front master for a yamaha one, brakes dont feel just as strong as before but i can live with that rather than crashing, only done about 3 miles local as i dont just trust it
. but all seems good,so far

Good progress Rob.
For the master cyl, if you can measure the piston diameter on the original one, you should be able to find a replacement that gives you the same braking performances as before.

Took Nue Red out for a wee spin, just up to the juice bar to fill it up ready for the trip to Wales .
Back at the cave dropped the oil leaving it to drain out, fresh oil & filter, on the morrow.
I'll kick the tyres, check the chain & might even show it some polish in the morning...
