Yup
this time I got very lucky all good in there. The new tank had a couple of dings which I managed to massage out with a wooden dowel through the pump opening.
I need to take the radiator off to straighten the fixings and maybe tomorrow I will fire her up again.
Is that normal the bike requires a little cranking from cold? Bit too much for my liking. Once it comes to life idle regulation etc all works as supposed. On ignition I can hear the stepper adjusting constantly so I think it can be the nature of things. Once it has run a moment it starts immediately afterwards.
Me thinks it might want some adjustment for the cold start however the idle is nicely elevated so tge stepper is doing its job before bringing it down to roughly steady 850rpm where it stays rock solid.
Also - when looking under the tank. There are three free plugs. I am guessing this could be the fuel gauge, clock and??? The top one with the yellow insert seems like could have been used since there is green residue characteristic of water plus electricity galvanic thing. Am I missing something in there???
