Hi Steve in fact there is only just enough freeplay on that front brake cable and the only way to get the cable in is to fit the nipple in the linkage out of the drum then slide the cable through the adjuster on the handlebar perch fit the nipple into the lever and slide the lever into the perch pivot, don't worry there's plenty of stretch once you trying to haul her up.
Now Brett is that shot taken on the Putty and how are you liking those K81's???

Since it was another warm and sunny day here in Lympne I decided to go for a 3 hour ride.
I bumped into a guy pushing his Kawasaki whatsisname along the road.
Being a helpful guy I stopped:
Whatsamatter mate?
It cut out, it was alright on the way to the petrol station.
Fuel problem?
No! It's got no oil in the engine, it was alright last time I checked, I don't know where it has gone.
(sucking air through teeth) So it fucked then!
Yeah!
Hmmmm, expensive mistake that one!

edit: BTW you know it's a bumpy road when the pedometer on your phone says you've done 2,225 steps while riding for an hour or so!

MoT'd it and then enjoyed it. For one reason or another I've not been able to get out on the bikes too much lately, but to say I enjoyed today's outing is an understatement. The thing's a "fake" in one sense and a cliche in another. It's also uncomfortable and noisy, the tank's shagged and did I say it's too noisy? But I love it! It feels alive in a way that some of the other bikes don't.
Also did one of those "why didn't I do this earlier?" jobs when I slackened off the clutch a tad to stop it slipping in the two top gears, which seems to have worked.
Now all I need to do is get the sodding van back on the road ready for Padfest.

Was inspired enough (read:drank enough wine after dinner) to go after my sticky throttle cabling issue again. A little lubricant and some fiddling, tapping, and adjusting and I have a temporary solve without taking the entire assembly apart. Went up and down the alley and am pretty satisfied with the results. Will have some opportunity for a proper test ride in a few hours. A nice break from searching for that 3CL alternator cover.

Was that the one you got from Mr Stoner?
Got up early as no cricket to watch last night ( well you wouldnt call it cricket ) and decided to go on the CIMMA run to Picton as was thinking that there would be a few more starters as the club has over 300 members.............wrong so the ride to Picton was the 3C and rider however surprise surprise on reaching Picton found some hardy twin riders from the Gong....at least there was one Lav holding up the flag (Lavflag)
So we went for a run out to the dam then they turned back home and I and the trusty 3C made out way back home. !!!

Finally found some time to fettle POP.
Pulled the carbs off and fitted 20 pilot jets as the 17.5s were not doing their job, even with the screw several turns out.
Also removed the Z1 mirrors and fitted Oberon type bar end mirrors as I found the Z1 type not to my liking on this bike.
Deep down the inlet tract. Corsa spec valves and porting.
Wanna see the Christmas fairy sonny?
Just got it all back together and the jetting change has made a world of difference. It used to fluff just off tickover and make pulling away a bit jerky. Cracking open the choke helped so I guessed the pilots were too small. Now the adjuster screws are 1.5 turns out. With the 17.5s I kept turning the screws out and even at 5 or 6 turns out there was no improvement. They only have a narrow range anyway, so 1.5 turns is ideal. I will take it for a spin tomorrow morning.
Too hot and bothered now, was 37?C in the cave.
