Santa Came Early :woot
After years of promising myself one of these, finally decided my ould knees had enough of praying next to the bikes :lol and my ould back had enough of bending over working on them :lol
First job now is to whip the carbs of the 1000 to sort a weeping coolant hose.
Replaced my carbs a while ago after removing them to do a little Ivanising and discovered a sticking butterfly shaft on number 1 Carb.
Found an identical model set with 14000 Km on them in Germany and bought them in the off chance that my own were not repairable.
Most likely the hose was pinched in the packing as it is like a tiny pinhole at the edge of the pipe it is on. The hose that is damaged is the same as the ones to the 600 for which I have loads of spare bits.
Managed to sort my own 1000 carbs in the meantime and are now sitting in my spares cabinet
