A bit of service work done today. Engine fully serviced, new air filter and the front forks rebuilt.

Thanks for the interest so far lads and for the contact through phone etc. nice talking to you and the advice going forward was great.

It's on the go a couple of months now so I thought I might as well get the thead on for you guys to have a look at it your interested. So that bring me up to this week. I have a fork rebuild kit and a service kit, oil, air filter there for it so I'll do all that and the valve clearance this week and...
