Will it / Won't it
Took her ladyship to the bike fettlers to get her glued up brakes massaged into health first thing... It was drizzling, and slimy roads.
It's flag-cracking and shiny blue sky now.
What are the odds that it'll be raining again by the time he phones me that she's ready?

Re: Throttle response
Righto, I've been riding mainly the raptor for a long while, I know changing up with the scooter was a "laugh" when I hit the wrong lever

Re: Throttle response
Thanks for the replies so far. Personally, I don't see the problem as being associated with a particular rev-level; rather more the matter of feeding-in miniscule amounts of that lovely torque while riding slowly around gravelly tight corners and suchlike. //snip// Nick Umm, so feathering the clutc...

Re: Petrol Tank
I know this is a wrong thing but:
I have a swelled tank also, and to fit it back after changing the air filter (after hours of blood, sweat, tears, swearing and more swearing) I sacrificed the top hat washers at the headstock end since I'm techno-dumb and not capable of making a new rear fitting

Re: The rusty work hoss.
Ouch
Lifting it from the ground I found do-able as long as the tank's near empty.
mine also has 'war wounds'

Re: Front spark plug
This is excellent tweaking, thank you for the info.
I'm still riding with a mud flap attached behind the radiator to protect the front cap, must be more than ten years since we did that little adjustment.
