Passed the mot yesterday, oil change today. Now it's waiting patiently for it's new belts! I have scoured the forum for tips and tricks and ideas. The clutch mod works, it's so much quieter now. I just wish I could raise the bars a bit. I may try a 43t sprocket if I can find one.
I think it was because the plate was corroded and even after cleaning with a wire wheel it still looked horrible. I had intended to replace it but that was about 8 years ago!
I had my first ride for four years today all round East Anglia. I called in at MCT suspension specialists for a chat about set-up and they suggest that my forks and shocker are re-built and start from there! I did 140 miles which is more than I have done in 6 years and I really enjoyed it except for the rain! It's good to be back.
