if you put some sort of thick liquid over the tyres like dishwashing liquid (wash it off before you ride of course) then any leaks will appear really fast

good luck for your first proper ride, whenever that may be

She is alive, she is alive -

Well it has taken a few months to actually get around to it. After sourcing new brushes for the starter motor and giving it a clean, some air in tyres, some juice in the battery, and a proper sprak plug, she fired up. Oh boy did she fire up. Some nice black smoke came out at first and then she just purred like a kitten. Rode her 3 - 4 kms round the neighbourhood. God, what a ball small bikes are

Every time the throttle is twisted though the little kitten purr turns into a growl from an angry lioness thanks to the rusted trough exhaust

. Body of a kitty, heart of a lion - muahahaha

So a new battery, a spark plug, oil and filter change, vin, wof, rego and this little Kiki shall be soon "rapapapapapappapapapa-ing" non stop under the long white cloud

This is creepy. I'm on the lookout for a new bike and thought it'll be nice to own something like that. And I found this thread. Do Hornet owners think alike?

There's a fantastic-looking CB400SS on TM sold by an importer in ChCh - too rich for my blood but it looks gorgeous.
