  5. Picked up a wheel nut socket and wheel bearings from PJME in Wednesfield a very good source of parts for RS125’s. They do big bore kits…..:thinkingface:

  7. I have promised myself to keep on top of things. This one is now ready for the season, and the SP3 is under way thanks to Malc at PT working his magic on the fuel tank. Next stop the paint shop... :)

    Seems to work okay,…but I’m surprised how much it throws the chain adjustment markings out on the swingarm :thinkingface: ??

  11. So, after spending many a sleepless night worried about the steering damper not being parallel to the dash with the steering straight, thought I get it tackled and knocked off the list.
    Quick drill and tap of the Spider damper fork bracket and all’s good in the world again! :cool:

  15. Had a peep under its cover and checked the Oximiser. It wasn't on fire and no mice nesting as far as I could see, so all is well.

  16. Checked the rev counter drive cable on the 900ss for any issues after if decided to stop working
    Separated it from the clock, nothing to see, reassembled it and it’s working again!
    But for how long?

    Treated it to a couple of drops of oil for good measure
