30,000 miles, K reg, with panniers, no MOT, on SORN. Has Remus exhaust system and Hyperpro front springs. In good general condition for the year with few signs of corrosion. I’m the fifth owner. Comes with collection of paperwork Clymers manual, spark plug tool and some other odds and sods.
I bought this as a project bike, with the plan to make an outfit, but it was a speedy purchase without my looking at the cost of the sub frame needed to add a chair. So that plan was abandoned, and I decided to service the bike with a view to riding it. I’ve replaced the plugs, front pads, brake fluid, coolant, oil, oil and air filters, fuel pump mount and the fork oil. New Motobatt battery with isolator switch, occasionally the starter relay sticks, a known problem, I replaced it, and the new one does the same.
The tank was weeping, so I dried it out, cleaned it, dried it again, then used PORs along the inside where the leaks are, the seam between the top and bottom sections. Then I left it to cure for two weeks with a fan extracting the fumes as it the PORs cured, and that seems to have cured the leak.
I’ve put new Metzelers Roadtecs on, so it’s ready for an MOT. I can’t ride it because the distance between the footpegs and seat (which is well comfortable) is too short for my buggered left knee, after any distance my knee will be too stiff for me to be able get my foot down in time. The engine starts and runs happily, and judging by the speed it went up my drive it, pulls nicely.
Plan is to get something smaller I can share with one of the kids.
Selling to recover some of my costs, £1200, collect from near Reading in Berks.
