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.Warren t claim wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 9:44 pm fjr1.PNG

Re: Two wheels good.
Got to sell my two bikes in the UK, seeing as its going to be too costly to import and register them here in Spain.
Cagiva Mito, 2001 on s Y plate, full ground up rebuild 600 miles ago. Full power 33bhp so not learner legal), full repaint (by Jay Adams) in Ducati yellow. New tyres, C&S, Arrows exhaust, joyous bike to ride. £2000 or offers Moto Guzzi V1200 Sport (2 valve head, so reliable). Ridden this all over Europe with no issues. 28,000 (?) miles, Memjet ignition tuner, Quill end can, Hepco & Becker C-Bow mounts and Krauser soft sided panniers, Baglux tank cover. £4,250 or offers. Both in Essex.

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

Re: Two wheels good.
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.
