    That was my last track day and it fucking sucked. what I should have done was investigated it properly then. What I actually did was park it in the shed for > nine months in the hope that elves would come and fix it. Elves are notoriously unreliable so I am sorting it out myself.

    When the carb rebuild kits arrive I am going to get someone to ultrasonic the carbs and then balance and set them up. I have not got the equipment or patience for that stuff.... or, if I'm honest, the skills.

    I must say I'm awfully tempted to buy a carb+ sized ultrasonic cleaner... so maybe me!

    Does anyone have a source of ER9EH or ER10EH plugs here in NZ? I need some for a test day on Friday and I'm not sure if my overseas order will arrive in time

    Cheers

    I followed that one on trademe!:-) congrats, what are your plans? looked like it had been stored outside for a long time, so much rust!!!and these usually do really well outside - is it near the ocean or something?

    I was curious as to whether it had the seat lock, fairing bolts and whether that was a large dent in the tank :-P

    Have you fixed up bikes before?

    This guy may be interested: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-992204545.htm

    He recently took my $1 res NC30 and told me to call him if I wanted to sell my other one. He seems to like collecting them....
