The noggyfighter is alive.

[noggythenog]

Just a little gloat about how the noggyfighter is back up & running after hibernating in its little wooden noggy nest.




I go with dont touch it, start it until your ready to use it ethos, i take the battery out, clean & oil the bike & i maybe bring it out the shed now & again to do some fettling but i never start it up & this worked a treat last year.


So again i did an oil change first, then the coolant (only coz i was a numpty & a pipe came off )




Started her up last night but i had a massive stutter & she just wasnt running or even blippable on the throttle.




Came back to it today, lifted the tank,checked fuel pipe, got some more air outta the coolant system & topped up.....then took each plugs off & squirted with WD40.




Worked a treat




Had her bouncing off the limiter & got rid of the cobwebs.






So after reading on here on various rough running issues it goes to show that starting with the basics can pay off & yes WD40 & black tape can & will fix everything.




Heres a pic of the noggyfighter at noggy towers






Time to ride the thing.

Nice bike, nice car, nice house. You are living the dream my boy!

Glad you get the noggy fighter going without too many problems.

Cheers Chris


Just been out for a wee 60 miler over the hills & round the coast, the bike was faultless to be fair so long may that last.




Off to somewhere called  Glyncorrwg tomorrow which is in the Welsh valleys somewhere, the missus is going with her mum to visit an old relative.....it makes sense that i take the noggyfighter & put a couple hundred miles on her.

The Noggyfighter needs a new rear fairing, methinks!

I'm fitting a late model R1 fairing to mine, it will fit, and I reckon it'll look the nads on my bike.

Also a firm believer that if a bike isnt being used dont keep startin it..

Glyncorrwg is a nice run, been there a few times on mine. Bikes looking really good, may see you around sometime if we ever get a South Wales meet going

When you off next Panthor?, i take it weekends, im off on my 2 weeks off but im going celtic manor with the wife on the weekend....they got some crappy treatments & stuff she's excited about....some mud bath thing where we then get washed off by tropical rain (which i hear as tap water).....best not tell her i'd rather be biking ...maybe get my oats though.


Hey Christo you fiend...you have a fazer arse fetish.

Well, it ain't got tits, so I have to settle for second best!

I go out on it most weekends, bit less now as I've got a new baby at home.
