That is the version with the ‘cook your bollocks’ fuel tank. Lots of slow town riding with your pupils will get a bit* tiresome. The finish isn’t too bad. Ours were used all year round in all weathers and stood up pretty well.

An older guy I sometimes ride with has one of these. Appears to go like stink without effort and he loves it.

Interested in the Mito. Where is it?

It's in Witham in Essex, 25 minutes from the M25.

[Arthur Foxhake]

About 5 minutes from my mums house.
She's in Heybridge. I'm there next weekend but assume you aren't.

I had to play monkeybike Tetris today to get a fourth bike in the garage. A mate dropped hers off as I'd offered to sort it's running problem.

This was fun to do without scratching anything and I somehow still got past it to shut the door afterwards.

Her Z750 had a horrible misfire at low speed, trying to pull away meant it always dropped onto two cylinders & stalled if you weren't ready for it. It was a right bugger to get apart, I'm sure the tank had never been off since new 11 years ago so the 'easy realise' clips on the fuel line weren't, then the damn bike is designed to annoy you. Who puts the thermostat in it's own housing between the frame tubes blocking all access to the inner plugs? Lots of swearing, levering pipes & looms to the side gives just enough room to get extensions and flexi joints in to get to the plugs. The same was needed to get the coils that sit on the plugs out & back in.

This was how to get to no3 plug..

Anyway, plugs with a gap of about 1.6mm that should be half that, water in the inner plug wells & corrosion on the plug tops along with the inside of the coils explains the issues. Put it all back together, took it out & it runs lovely now, it's gone from a bike that misfired at 65mph in 5th to one that'll go down to 22mph in 5th and pull smoothly back up to speed.

Before I took it apart.

It's now staying for a month or so, she's off to Oz for three weeks on Tues & I didn't expect it to nearly as easy to fix. Oh & yes, that's a PG Tips monkey on the rack. He's no relation that I know of.

Plenty of time to road test it then.
