It's been quite quiet here of late, however, that doesn't mean we can forget our manners: hello, and welcome
How are you finding being back on 2 wheels?

Welcome to the forum !

Cheers all
Quite scarey being back on a bike they've come on a long way since my LC
But enjoying it all the same
Running a bit rough at the mo hope it's not the dreaded cracked liners
Might have been scammed in my desperation to get back into biking

Is that the Nikasil coated cylinders? what mileage is it?

[mercury]

Yeah nikasil only done 9K but after I bought bike checked DVLA MOT history and bike was off the road for 4 years which heightens my suspicions

[Simondo]

Sounds odd, shouldn't be any engine problems at that mileage, do you reckon its been used on track?

[mercury]

Seems like a very standard bike everything original.might get it checked out somewhere where they know what there doing anybody recommend anyone bike will need picking up .got a spare few quid to spend on it

Welcome back to biking...
Lots changed in your absence...
Tyre technology has moved on significantly, brakes have got better, and power output has developed.
Take your time getting to know the bike and enjoy it...
