As in the title, I'm new to airheads, but definitely not new to this site.
I acquired an R80 GS (Bumblebee) during the winter and I'm just starting to fettle it.
Carbs?
I've got them stripped cleaned and ready for reassembly, have checked up with moto-bins and they do a 'pattern' gasket kit with diaphragms and also an OEM which is a similar kit but double the price. Question… are the pattern kits fine for my machine.
Oil cooler?
My bike has a cooler fitted, but is it necessary in this country, I'm not taking my steed onto the road of bones. I'm just trying to clean up the look of the bike and if it's not required I'll take it off.
However is this likely to cause me (my bike) any mechanical grief?
That's it for now....ta
