Bloody hell where's the bulldog spirit in you all. "Mad idea" mmmm, We did,nt win a war by pushin lecci start buttons. LOL
Seriously tho, once I,d got used to the way I had to go about starting it (full choke when cold, then zero choke and one real swift kick when warm) she sparks into life virtually every time with the odd exception and then it,s 2nd or 3rd kick. Regards revving it, yes I do, quite a lot. Nice n steady for first few miles till I get out of town so to speak then I rev it very high, the bike was built to be ridden fast on twisty B roads and it has,nt disappointed so far, it absolutely flies up to around 90mph and goes up to 100 mph no problem but I,m quite happy at around the 80/90mph mark nowadays. (Must be an age thing) . It,s been bored out to approx 560cc and fitted with a high comp piston as well as a complete rebuild and a new mikuni carb and K n N filter ( no air box) it shud hopefully be gracing the thumper club stand again this oct at the Stafford show if you,re down there come and have a look, it,s a nice little bike.
