Re: Geoff's 1VJ Tenere rebuild ...
Well she's finally finished chaps, took her out for the MOT test today, but, she pulls like a train up to about 4000 revs, then it's as flat as a fart.... I suspect the secondary carb, so I've got a spare set of carbs which I'll swap over tomorrow & hopefully she'll be right...
Pics to follow
This bike is a real hooligan tool, it's as light as fuck & makes a lovely noise..... and the brakes are shit hot... we're gonna scare the shit out of a few sports bike riders on the TT course in June....
