    Some slight issues, but solid bike. Reg on hold.

    No photo yet but will update soon.

    Bike was riding well until power started dropping off, checked fuel lines and couldn't figure it out so my flatmate (aircraft engineer) pulled off the head to check the cam timing. Couldn't see any issues but when re-assembling one of the four bolts was broken, has been removed using an easy-out but haven't yet bought a replacement bolt.

    Bike sounds fantastic when it's running, and rides nicely too. Fairings are in pretty ok condition for their age - only issue is the inbuilt indicator bulges have been replaced with standard indicators and the bulges filled with black mesh. Looks OK though.

    Really good cheap commuter, and still a fun ride.

    Looking to sell 2 bikes at the moment, happy to negotiate a price for both - I want to sell them to get a new bike and don't have time to fix up their little niggles, so my loss is your gain.

    mate, not meaning to shyte on your parade....but....if the engine doesn't turn...or it needs Bolts to get the head back on, and the loss of power problem remains unresolved....its not really a "slight issue".

    I think you may find that the valve cover was removed to check the timing, not the head. This in itself is a small issue.

    I have about 8 of those bolts, just cross checked the part number (92153-0793)
