middle one again


i topped up the psi in the tyres and filled the tank ready for the morning ride .
noticed the rhs fork oil seal is leaking . that the 3rd time this year ive popped a seal .
im starting to think the lowers are foocked as ive changed the stanchions and the bushes so all that left now is the lowers . i might see if i can get some 97 forks to replace these (in winter)

I don't think the plugs needed changing as the old didn't seem very old! Oh well, I've got spares. But the air filter must have been choked up as the bottom end pulls much more cleanly now, result!

Could do with a carb balance and fettle now

Fitted rear clear break one word stunning
