Rough Running Fixed :-)

[Blues N Twos]

Well I bit the bullet today to try and find why the bike ran like a pig in the mid range.

I started off by stripping all the bodywork off and giving it a service. That was the easy bit. Next the tank had to come off what a palava that was. Anyway I managed to lube up the choke cable but to be honest they moved freely anyway. I noticed that the spark plugs in the front cylinder were very sooty so it may be the choke sticking on.

When I came to have a close look under the airbox I noticed that it wasn't sitting snug on the carb barrels. I managed to get that sitting nice and decided to put the tank back on and give it a go.

Well i'll be bugg$red..... The throttle response was instant and when you hold the revs at 3k there was no coughing or spluttering. The bike ran like a dream. So I don't know if it was the choke or the airbox not sitting properly. But well pleased non the less.

So I thought I would treat myself to a new lid..... Caberg Justissimo with flip down pilot visor in Titanium.

What a lovely lid.

I believe he's spoken for. You should have expressed this uncontrollable urge back when he was temporarily single.

What I didn't realise is that you can convert it into an open face lid and keep the "Tom Cruise" look.

How cool is that eh.

Well pleased though with the lid and a lot quieter than my old flip up lid.

No fear of reaching take off speed on the @ though.
