Fired it up for the first time since the rebuild! :D :D :clap: :thumbup:

All is well, she lives :D Couple of bits and bobs to sort out, still need to balance the carbs and do some more of the service items, but it's about ready to be MOT'd.
I have missed the noise so much, got me proper excited hearing it breathe into life :twisted:

What have I done to my bike today?
Ignored it.
It has a coolant leak but I cannot be arsed to get it hot enough to try to find out where it's leaking from.

Because I have a huge airbox all of the hoses around the thermo hsg are hidden, so it needs lots of playing around to get everything exposed. It's raining, and cold, and although I have a nice warm conservatory with heated floor to work in, I can't run the bike indoors and so it would have to be in the garden.

I'll leave it until next weekend, and do the commute in the car, 2 hours in, one hour out, instead.
I'll be seething with the traffic by next weekend and motivated to get out and fix it then.

But I've ordered a nice Yoshimura Works stem nut to cheer me up.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Fitted my dynojet kit earlier :D

Was running stupidly lean, check out the printout below for a laugh (I'm the red line)

Need to get it re dynoed next weekend to fine tune it

If it moves, oil it. If it doesn't, oil it until it does.

I have the same problem. It has a small leak from the left side which happens to be the side that took the brunt from my off. I going to throw some Bars in as a temporary fix, see that sorts it.
