Cassette tape - now there is a clear indication of age
Oops! Dead giveaway. But they’ll still be playing like new long after the CD’s have faded away.

It’s a real classic. It’s still on stage in London I believe.

Gents,
A little update on the overhaul of my beloved bike.
@Baloo + @ABC123
Spoke to Dyna Tech in Tadley today to get an update on the progress on the in depth check and major service. Whilst checking all bearings, found the headstock bearing was 'rumbling' when moving front wheel from lock to lock. pulled old bearings out and there was rust in there! Front forks had unequal amounts of oil in them, although no sign of leaking seals - seals replaced and oil grade 7 installed. Wheel bearings fine, drive shaft re-greased and all fine. Did I mention previously that the clutch seemed to be slipping?? Well, it is so it needs a new one! Still, they have spent the last 2 days with the bike on the Dyno doing the pre adjustment run and changing everything! Started at app. 120hp and 115 ft/lbs torque. Since he has remapped he managed to get up to 148hp and 156ft/lbs torque. These figures were obtained at only 4000 rpm and then the clutch started slipping. New clutch ordered and being fitted next week and then back on the Dyno for full results. New silicon coolant hoses fitted too...
Should be collecting the bike next Saturday along with a raft of print outs from the Dyno!

The only changes made that I know of are the exhaust - a dave pRatt shorty twin pipes and the RamAir air filter.

Sound like good figures so far, keep us posted.
I'm impressed with the pipes I got from Dave Platt, is that a random play with words or do you know something I don't?

Glad to hear things are progressing nicely. I’ve still to put my DP pipes and Ramair on, but I’ll get the bike to them eventually.
