After collecting the bike and riding it around a few time we realised that things were wrong. The bike was stalling at almost every stop and both the front and back wheels were badly buckled. Charlie stripped out the carb and found mud inside the jets and float chamber...who knows how it got in there...
After the carb was put back the bike still didn't run smoothly so we took it to Conquest motorcycles and they had a look at the bike and found the there was absolutely no clearance on the valves which was smothering the engine. So they set the valves correctly and adjusted the spokes on the wheels at the same time and now the bike rides perfectly. It does though smoke a bit so the rings will need to be replaced before we leave.
Bits we have fitted and fixed on the bike so far:
- Acerbis hand gaurds
- Bash plate
- Braided brake hoses
- Lowering link (Talon)
- Bespoke luggage rack
- Daerr C29 top box
- 22lt Acerbis tank
- Brake pads
- Spectacles holder strapped to handlebar
- Cut side stand to accomodate new lower suspension
- Cut out seat
- Givi screen
- Renthal handlebars
Things we have replaced and fixed on the bike so far:
- New rear wheel bearings
- New front fork seals
- New mirrors
- New tyres (Trailwings TW301 and TW302)
- New brake pads
- New piston rings
- New valve springs
- New voltage regulator/rectifier
