Picked the bike up from Glen at Moto V in Colchester yesterday, Bikes now on 15400 miles so time for the valve/shim check which was all good and service whilst its in, belts, oil, filter etc, Had the TPS/ fuel trimmer setting adjust and a new fuel pump relay, a bit of a tidy up/clean with a new bit of heat shrink. The relay had been opened before or was damaged but someone had put a bit of tape around it but now has been replaced with a new one
Finally fitted the radiator i got from a forum member as the one i had didn't leak but was damaged and stopped the v piece from lining up under the bottom edge of the rad properly, new coolant and replaced most of the hose clips as they were looking a bit rusty.
Was looking at Samco for mine, but like you, I’m struggling to part with £166 just for good looks ♂️
Forks rebuilt and lower fork legs swapped over to the gold pair I've had for a few years and headstock bearings checked and greased. New mudguard and clip holders along with all the shiny re-plated bolts just got a few more to do.
Looks a completely different bike Making me think about making a stupid offer on an alleged low mileage 998, that looks as rough as a badgers arse
I saw it when paul first got it home. Fortunately all the stickers and paint came off fairly easily. Can’t believe it’s been 8 years soon!
Had to look up the start of the thread, that was a bloody quick 8 years, suppose i had better start riding it now
Hi Chris Hopefully i will be next year and you are due a ride then you will look stylish like all 916 series riders
