Cheers skidT. It does seam at times that iam going from one problem to another. bikes 18 years old and 60,000 miles so like the rider things are starting to wear out, Top end strip is not that hard and it is just about possible to remove the head whilst the engine is still in the frame,need to go in again to double check the valve clearences on the two new valves, just for piece of mind iam sure they will be ok. Bike running really smooth with great pick-up from low down, Lapping all the valves imo has made a huge difference, looking forward to the long weekend and getting a few hunderd miles done including an 80 mile ride out with my daughter on the back. not been on the back for 13 ish years when we last done the Brighton burn up when she was 13, That was on the 600. bit more power now with the mighty thou
Really need something newer that i can just get on and ride but still not decided, Got chatting to a guy at Super Sausage who had a Tracer GT and was very impressed with it. Thats on my list aswell but maybe a bit too much of an adventure bike ...
And another thing...Are used bike prices beng hit by inflation aswell as everythine else...Mate bought a 66 mt9 with 5000 miles with dream machine paint,yellow with speed block for £5000 3 years ago. Same bike now is pushing 6000...Or is it just me.The older i get everything seams to be more expensive...
