Replaced the throttle grip,got her running and ticking over a little better,seems to rev cleanly only a real road test will confirm that. Number boards back on and secured,also did a bit of lock wiring,sump plug,oil filler and oil filter all secure. The list gets a little shorter,ACU test next Saturday at Mallory Park

I’m in mate need the RGV sorting on the dyno hope he has time to fine tune it for me or is he just doing power runs?

Suzuki ,I've got it in PDF if you need it but its a massive 28mb so probably won't email, maybe someone on here can tell you where you can download it from...

I've mastered that already its the one where I look worried and pale and need to wee alot.......

So here's the update Tyre warmers-not yet can I use an old quilt Genny-sold some stuff so now have the funds for it Fuel cans-Not yet Fire extinguisher-sorted Front stand-sorted Bike related tasks are as follows; Refit the carbs-done Fit the yamahaha throttle and new cable-done Change the clutch cable-done Change the bearings in the wets and get some normal road pads-not done Sticker the beast up OSS style-done Check the regs to make sure I haven’t forgotten anything-done I've forgotten loads Learn how to lockwire like a pro and then lockwire like a complete amateur probably-drilled all necessary parts ready to do this Test ride on a closed road/track-does round my garden count Shakedown test at a local track-booked at Donny for March Plus new jobs sorted like there's no spark so it won't start-done Get a catch tank (lower fairing) and fit it-got the fairing need to fit ACU test is fast approaching but will do it on my road bike as the blandit won't be ready in time. Eye test done, dog tag made, forms filled out, clubs joined.......never thought it would be this difficult...

Oh well racing is the priority this year so looks like I’ll have to miss this one

Stickered up

Number boards sorted

Couple of hours today trying to get the beast to start,battery charged and tested ok static and under load.Still nothing checked for fuel flow and all good. Tank off coils checked and found the spade terminals were all knackered,stripped and replaced the terminals.Quick test and we have a spark . Tank back on and hit the starter and we have life...

Pressures on now for me to deliver

Cheers @KATANAMANGLERthese arrived today

+1 on that

http://exactrep.com/acatalog/pp-exhausts.html Never used them but these sell all sorts for OSS bikes including Marving

Carbs back on today,changed the throttle so now have 1/4 turn,fitted new cable. Replaced the clutch cable to,stuck the tank back on and thought I might as well fire it up ,you guessed it flat battery so chucked the covers back on and went for a beer instead

Oh bugger bet they're not cheap

On the RGV that part is also replaceable is it this bit where my hand is? Although it was discontinued for the RGV so I stuck it in a pan with some boiling water and wintergreen to bring back some of its old self then boot polished it with parade gloss to make it look ok. Then added a rim of thin self adhesive rubber to take out the play, it worked ok for a bit of a bodge...after pic fitted, sorry not the best pic

If its like the one on my RGV you can still get them from Suzuki,they look like this, and are replaceable. Maybe yours is the same or not can't tell without a nice pic

The boss just text me fixture list confirmed and new comedy sliders arrived

Cheers @MeanBean49appreciate the offer will be in touch if I'm struggling with owt
