The sunshine beckoned so I went out for a blast today on it and there's a troublesome problem with the gear change. It doesn't want to change down or go into first from neutral. I was thinking I had to remove the clutch and have a look at the gearchange bits. Anyway, rode it home and I found the gearchange was on the wrong spline and the boot was biffing the sprocket cover - which is why it wouldn't change down. So that's sorted.
Other issues; weeping from the rocker shaft end stops. Tightened, now OK
Dripping oil from the sump gasket. Tightened but will keep an eye on it.
The positive terminal on the battery has broken off so I'll have to get the big soldering iron out to repair it. It's a good battery apart from that.
Apart from these little snags, the bike rides great and the engine feels nice and tight. Well happy with it.
