hi Dave, could not agree more, a very good ride today that put a smile back on my face, a bit chilly and certainly too cold for the summer gloves i had on :rolleyes ...
checked over this afternoon and all looks good with exception to the header tank, the new anti freeze is looking a bit murky, think i`ll flush the system and re-fill, not sure how long the engine was standing before i bought it but the shed it was in was a bit of a mess. if that`s the only niggle i think i got myself a bargain for £200
Glad you enjoyed the test ride of "new" engine. Summer gloves! You're brave. It was 2 degreesC here yesterday am coupled with odd sleet showers.
Yes from the sound of it I would thoroughly flush out the cooling system and add some nice "Pink" OAT coolant to colour match the bike!......Sorry I know its Red really! :lol
:lol yeh, very bloody funny :lol ...i use the oat coolant from Halfords as it seams to be a good buy at the moment, not pink though but a very light red
does look a bit pinkish in the piccie, first time i have used the camera on my new phone, not that impressed with it tbh the bike has not lost any of its red-ness being garaged all its life...weather was a bit funny that day and pehaps the light was not too good...if i`am out on Thursday i will try agian...
Was only joking! Bike looks "proper" RED in your photo. Both my favourite Fazers were RED(well known by the cognoscenti to be the best!). Rhondda Red the Foxeye 600 & Big Red the mighty thou. Enjoy the Redness. Dont tell anyone but my current bike the Tracer is b**e! :lol

Had to replace the clutch yesterday,slipping at higher revs, under load up hill, swapped it with the one from the original engine, i`ll put a new one in that one when i re-build it...Up to about 700 miles on the new engine now, no other problems. out today with a few mates up to Towcester for a late breakfast at the super sausage
