Well, this is out to test my patience innit! Water hose i have, plenty of it. But do you think i have an 8 inch length of the diameter i need right now??? NO! And i cant put the downpipes or radiator on until this piece of pipe is fitted! AARRGGHH!!!!
Well after spending over an hour running round motor factors, finally got some water hose. Now fitted and new jubilee clips. Onwards!!
Pipes on, rad in, oil cooler in, horns refitted, just checked antifreeze, good down to -20c, time to fill and check for leaks
Just changed my mind..........new antifreeze, neat, good down to -50c now. Taking into account the wind chill factor.
Oooh yeah Battery charged, fuel line and filter filled (this bike struggles to start if the fuel filter is empty), few cranks of the button and away she went. Few horrid little sounds at first, but they have settled, plenty of smoke from my grubby oily hands, that's burnt off, sounds nice again, nothing nasty from the cam chain side, can feel the exhaust rumble through my feet on the floor. My baby's back
Well done Steve, such a relief when they go brrrrmmmm again I could smell the work looking at the pictures lol.
