As long as you keep the revs up anyway (think I need a new battery) ...

GPZ900R.

Got it running properly today (finally!), but still not quite there - battery flat so had to jump it off the missus' car, still not supplying right signals to the tacho (only reads 3000rpm when it's plainly doing in excess of 6000). Electrics still need a bit o' looking at ... ;)

Also needs the gear linkage modding to get a smooth action through the Kliktronic - it's nearly there, but there's still a bit of slop in it. Works, but still a little graunchy.

Soon as that's done, it's MoT time. Hopefully ... :cool:

Me? Use spanners, you've got to be joking - I'm a feckin' liability with tools (mate once said, 'I know you can do stuff' (which I can - rebuilt engines, can weld (badly), all the usual stuff) 'but do you know why we do stuff for you? 'Cos it's fucking painful watching you do it so bloody slowly!'

I just did the designing/sourcing parts/running round bit while people who are competent engineers did the actual building. :)

Might I yet remind you again, Mr Grav, that you still have trashed more bikes than me? :p

Probably regret this, but I haven't now crashed (properly, rather than dicking around on beaches) for more than two years now (April 9th 2007 was last time) despite having racked up in excess of 40k miles. So, working on insurance figures, that means I've done 13 years' worth of riding without falling off. ;)
