No issue's as such yet didn't really give her much .but when I went in garage day after .I could smell petrol .I had left petrol tap on I thought it had leaked out of over flow .but no it's leaked out of number 3 float bowl gasket leaking .it's made paint on engine peel .so looks like carbs are coming back off next chance I get

[MarkCR750]

Good news then, bound to be a few little niggles, the brake calliper stopped leaking?.

[yozzer74]

Yeah they haven't leaked again ?? I'm hoping to get for mot this week if weather is OK

[MarkCR750]

Same with mine, maybe residual build oil or the seals need to bed in slightly, who knows!, MOT should be fine if your MOT tester is a sensible as mine, all he wanted to know was that the brakes worked!, good luck anyway.

That really does look and sound good. That's a proper job.

Well removed carbs today one of bowels was leaking .the gaskets are new but there a little big compared to the ones that came off so I thought I would try a old one on them .so far no leak fingers crossed .also fitted new ignition bracket I had made .

Took bike for mot today she passed very happy.  when I'm riding I can here the tappits .is this normal I've removed tap covers and there is oil there but not loads .am I just being paranoid .or should I be worried .

Are you sure it's tappets you can hear, or pinking? Pinking sounds like lots of very expensive little twigs snapping, caused by weak fuel mixture, ign timing over advanced, or low quality fuel. If it is pinking, it needs sorting asap, as it can burn valves or even damage pistons.

Not sure just thought it was tappits I will take another look
