Bring on 2017
Bring on 2017
Dug her out of the garage for the first blast of 2017. Winter hasn't touched her (still teal though)
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

You're a lucky man. Mine is still in many many pieces all over the place.

Re: Bring on 2017
i can't wait to ride mine in a bit of anger to try the suspension out now its been changed, I've not really leant it right over or fast through a bend, i do know it feels so much better and doesn't seem to drift out of bends but i can't wait for a hot dry day to rag it a bit. skiing next week then on the bike as much as possible with some tome on my hands too.

Re: Bring on 2017
I get that carb sync feeling as well Al. what are the symptoms that make you think that ?. mine lurches and misses at about 3,300 rpm ( unless you are gunning it).alanfjones1411 wrote:Been for a blast of about 60 miles today. Must get them carbs sync'd.
mine has got a scottoiler on it. am I right in thinking that has a connection to the carbs that governs the lube feed can that be used for carb balancing ?? ( I might have imagined that last bit )
im looking forward to the nice weather in 2017 to see if my shoulder is any good for riding. ive been having physio on it for about 6 months . still not 100% but getting better

Yes if you already have the T in the tube for the scott oiler your half way there...You just need to get the feed from the front take off point...Brass adapter & a lenght of vac hose...lumpyv wrote:I get that carb sync feeling as well Al. what are the symptoms that make you think that ?. mine lurches and misses at about 3,300 rpm ( unless you are gunning it).alanfjones1411 wrote:Been for a blast of about 60 miles today.
