As much as it pains me to say it...... @BusBoy that's a class act. @Clive.......if you do take a trip over just be aware that Bruce likes to show men his ass. Some sort of bizarre Saffer ritual I think.......just humour him. Over 15 years ago now Bruce........wish I could get in contact with Lyn again. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine she will need the tank beather cleaned out, possibly a new petcock. The carbs will need stripping and cleaning then rebalancing. Brake calipers will need stripping and servicing. She needs a new back tyre and as she has stood so long quite possibly a new gearshaft selector seal and drive shaft seal if they have dried out and perished. She was put away fully serviced 6 years ago but has stood since. She has a lot of sentimental value but if I'm honest what she needs is a good home. If you are prepared to put the effort in, bring a van Stop making excuses stick some petrol in and fire it up that's all my XR needed after sitting for 5 years. Fix what don't work when you try starting it not what you think needs doing before starting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
