500 Shakedown ride
« on: May 14, 2021, 10:27:50 PM »
Just done first ride on the 500k2. Only 2 issues - One of the new repo replica silencer end flanges (were the end plate meets the outer silencer body) blowing - appears to have a mastic like sealant thats blown out
2nd issue is intermitently running on only No 3 and 4. Long story short, it turned out that tap fuel pipe exit for 1 & 2 not giving full fuel flow caused by breather hole in the NEW repo petrol cap not fully drilled through (drilled hole fully so breather clear/breaths). Worth a check for anybody fitting one
2 faults on 2 NEW repo parts!

Oh, and noticed start of very light rust on NEW DID rims! (7 months since purchase and my garage is 100 dry and condensation free) - cleaned off with white spirits on a rag but very disappointing
