I left early and drove up to Jon Nicholson's place in Northumberland, he has been fettling my X Challenge for me. There isn't anyone who knows any more about these particular bikes than the Maestro of the North.
He has fixed my chaffed through wiring, reseated the tank properly (it was off line and why the cables got chaffed), done the valve clearances and checked it on his computer linky. Running beautifully now with new fuel filters, plugs and everything tickety boo. Loaded it onto the trailer and turned round and drove home again. Now I am properly ready to tackle some lanes. Thank you Mr. Nicholson, you are a star and I look forward to revisiting and doing some of your Northumbrian countryside.
