About one month ago I had the bike back in running order.
Yesterday I took her for the first longer trip. (180 km)
First I thought it is the old petrol.... she was apart for a whole year...
But it seems that the carburettor has to get out again and needs a good cleaning.
She runs fine until we reach about 80 Km/h. Further acceleration leads to coughing.
So, I think the secondary carb doesen´t open smothly or not at all.
Appart from that, I checked all nuts and bolts. especially the ones holding the engine.
The powdercoating settles after a while and I could tighten every nut about one to a half turns on. :omg:
The biggest improvement were the higher and stiffer seat and the stiffer forksprings.
The bike handles much better (on the road) and doesn´t dive so much while braking. :thumb:
The higher seat leads to a better kneeangle and a better ergonomy in all aspects.
At the end of that 180 Km stretch I was feeling one with the bike again.

When I was home again it started to rain heavily.

Cheers Olli

PS: What a nice handsome bike !!!

Regarding the seat,did you manage to buy or get another foam made?...mines absolutely shagged now,rode it to UK and back to Spain a few weeks back and the foam stays flattened when you get off of it...its definitly got worse after a summer in the sunshine in a warmer climate and the cover had definitly gone a sort of 1990s pink colour...
Sort of thinking I may give the poor little thing a refresh over the winter... smile:

Kedo offers a new and stiffer foam. I added an extra layer
Of foam. ... but you need long legs.

Just to show something...
I upgraded the drivechain with a sprocket from a Suzuki DR 800.
It is a little bit wider on the shaft. So maybe the splines on the shaft will last a little longer.
But it seems the shaft will last for ever anyway...
TÜV ran out on both bikes...
:tough:
