In the past week, trued up the slightly bent handlebars, painted them and refitted along with a new throttle tube and grip. Ordered a new clutch cable as the lever end was a bit beaten up. Changed the coolant and took the opportunity to remove the radiator for better access to replace the air solenoid which was rather rusty and also cleaned up the exhaust headers. Cleaned up and painted the two lower water pipes. Refilled with coolant and on testing I noticed that the R/H fan did not kick in. Fuse blown. Removed the fan to check it on the bench and it seemed ok. Resistance was higher than the L/H fan. Hooked it up with an ammeter and only 9 amps start current and 3 amps running so refitted it and it tested out fine on the bike so will keep an eye on it.
All minor and mostly aesthetic but freshens up the bike.
