Hows the 800 going, done any more trips on her

**Waihou Thumper** · 7th January 2014, 16:17

I started the bike and took it for a ride, what a beauty!
Anyway, there is a knack to warm it up, full choke, then leave it running, then wait for the change in the engine - it races, back off the choke and let here purr.....
And it does, very quiet.
BUT, funny thing is everytime I put her into first gear from standstill after a time laying idle, she lurches and stalls. Weird.
Then I start her up, put her in gear again and all is fine. What could that be guys?
The clutch is sweet and she changes smoothly when riding and idling after warming up....It even did it when I picked the bike up from the PO.

Not a biggie but she is old afterall...

Not so.....By a long shot!
Plastics are hard to come by, yes....agreed. BUT, I will not require them because it will not fall over...

my old DR used to do that, i thought something was sticking in the clutch and so i changed to a better grade oil and it went away

Yep, will look at a change of oil, perhaps a tad low even? Yes, the Big did do that, I recall now, it did it to me as well.

Jake is planning on coming along.

It is going to be sold!!

Best offer over $1700 for the rest of the week, and it ends this Sunday, can and will own it!
Seriously.....
It has a few foibles, but it runs well and with a service, adjustment here and there, you got yourself a great LAMS bike (yet to be approved, just got to be added to the list with the application)
Comes with new Motobatt battery, spare belt for the motor, new belt added recently!
Brand new belly pan/bash plate sourced from Italy aprilia.
All electrics work except the fuel gauge, never bothered me.
Fork seals require doing, new seals included in sale, just never had time to send it in to the shop...
It does need an oil change soon, that's about it.....

Registration on hold, needs a warrant of fitness.
