MOT day today, was great to be back on the bike! Couple of issues showed up though. 1. It failed on excessive play in the steering head...
I see, well it was running pretty lean at 2.5 turns and good at 3.5, sounds like I should leave it well alone! Bring on the MOT on Saturday

Bike now running near perfectly, just have to get belt covers and fairings back on before getting her MOT'd. Pilot screws needed to come out a...
