I bought this bike a few weeks back of a fellow forum member listed as a Project bike
It had stood for a few years unused and needed some TLC to get it up and running properly
it is relatively low mileage at 40K miles
Replaced most of the fuel system - pump , filter , regulator , fuel lines and injectors as the petrol had badly gone of and gummed up the system
Stripped all of the brakes down and fitted new braided lines and rebuilt the calipers with new seals and dust shields
Addressed lots of corroded fastenings and replaced them with SS
New head bearings , new front wheel bearings and new tyres
Did a full service - all oils , filters , spark plugs and valve clearance check . Throttle bodies nicely balanced
It's now fully mechanically sorted and has just been MOT’d and is now running very smoothly and handles great with the new tyres , head bearings and a YSS rear Shock
I did have some issues in getting it to come off idle to full throttle which eventually proved to be an issue with the Throttle Position Sensor
A big thanks to Jay (DrFarkoff ) for his time and patience in helping me diagnose and eventually sort the issue , I couldn't have done it without his help
I’ve fitted a standard height seat and got a top box for it as well , I'll be listing for sale the full kit of parts for the low seat at some point
Also added a fuel and temperature gauge
I’m going to run it over the next few months then decide if I will fully restore it or just keep/sell it as is
