theres not much to do to it, which surprises me cos no1 really done anythin to it for years, and the bike is almost as old as i am ;> well that was probably the only reason i wanted to have it goin ( i mean it goes well now, but its not registered) 'legally' in summer, cos its a classic bike, and didnt see any1 in dn ridind mvx.

i will post a foto of it soon. the only serious job would be gettin seals for front forks, mirrors, other than that its just cleanin it, addin sum oil , etc...

ive had it for over 2 years now, and it never let me down, so why were they so unreliable....back then....?

**ben444** · 23rd August 2005, 15:08

I have a mechanic mate who lives in Dunedin.. He's in Japan at the moment building bikes 'American chopper' style.. but he's due back in septmeber.. I'm sure he be willing to help out..

They holed pistons quite often, mostly the rear cyl... so be sure to have a colder plug in that pot, a '9' IIRC
Pitty they did this there was a aftermarket piston kit that lasted longer and gave more power.... but even they aventually melted a hole in the top of the pistons.
