Hi From Far North Of Scotland

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Ijmakeadifference, Oct 26, 2025 at 6:52 AM.

  1. New to the forum. My wife owned this 1995 M900 since 2002, second owner. embarrassingly low mileage at about 11000mls.
    She (the bike, not the wife ) has been off the road for a few years while we built a house. I'm recommissioning it incl.
    New fork seals, new front tyre, oil and filter change incl. Cleaned gauze filter. Rebuild fuel pump, new belts, new fuel filter and finally new battery. Black frame isn't original nor is the copious amount of carbon fibre. The exhausts are Termis. Once it's on the road there's some cosmetic work to do on the wheels and engine paint. All good fun. 1000005924~2.jpg

  14. Yeah, it defo takes a while to go distances through Scotland. I once rode two-up from Durness to Newcastle upon Tyne in one go without stopping the engine on a KTM 990 as the starter was knackered and it was nigh on impossible to bump start. o_O
