    The one bike you had with an auto that played up, well you can't really judge the entire build range on one bike can you?
    yeah I did mention something like that back a bit about what I call the series1A, iirc 79 was the 1st here and yes some had issues and there were very few of them, the one above with the tank cover is a series2A note the silver wheels less plastic caps and the screen... that bike I put nearly 100k on, maybe it had work done before I got it, the black wheeled B the awesome hot rod one LOL I got from a mate a 8k he got it at 2k I put 100k on it and it is still out there going hard, toes a trailer to a lot of rallies, never an issue but the water pump seal.

    So yes if the poms had the cx in 78 and 79 there might be the issue here... what say you RT?

    It would mean you're the taker if they got to see it
