Honda-SOHC

me and my dad 1983ish....
me and my son ted today...

anyone know about the gs450...
and suzuki numbering?
just general but an anorak would be great

evening guys.
i have been in touch with menno about some work im looking at having done..
my black uk k0....yes its still a project but i am getting around  to it...
i need to know what colour ? ...im sure black wasnt a k0 colour in the book but then again honda said k0 wasnt a uk model either..
i have an old v5 from i think 1977 that says black
i have spoken to the 2nd owner who bought it in 76 seized and he said it was black..
i have seen another early uk k0 only a handfull of vin from mine and that was black too...
so can anyone shed any light on it....
from memory were the k0 colours
gold?
green?
brown?

im pretty certain im on the right tracks but dont want to screw up at the outset

discuss

well im blown away...
i was trying to find an address that i have visited for work and i knew i had used my phones sat nav...
so while looking through my phone maps app i went onto "my timelime" hoping to find the post code..
it lists all the places times routes i have taken for yonks..
i kinda liked that very usefull unless you are doing somthing you shouldnt be doing..
but what amazed me it was correct saying i was
walking
driving
motorcycling
i can see how it can tell between walking and driving but motorcycling and driving..
i was out last night just to use a bike ...i never overtook sat in traffic didnt filter and sat behind every car...but it was correct saying motorcycling...
cannot be acceleration  although it was the blade. it was also correct for the xt500 amd 500/4
is it movement sensors in the phone
bloody clever what ever
if you want to check it out im on android

is there a way of testing a oil pressure sensor...
just been for a ride out and at lower revs say up to 2000 the light gradually glows on ...give a gentle rev and it dims off...
everything is nice and wet up top...
i have an order with ds so may add a sensor to it tomorrow..any other thoughts

Just had a pair of wheels collected from irvine scotland
Delivered to my door deep south...
I used paisley freight...
21 quid 24hours....
Easy website. easy set up .
They will pick up and drop off with no paperwork to print...
All arranged from my end in 5 mins
couldnt have been easier
Will definately use again

I've been watching this ..it started at £250 and I genuinely thought ok yep that's a fair deal for a load of spares..
But now in my mind this is getting alot of money for a complete refurb..i guess the v5 and frame is worth a few quid if you have plenty to sling on it but it seems like a very long project...and surely a runner in any state would be a better point to start from...
But as I'm learning more and more "what do i know"

I was just sorting a few gremlins on my 500 k0 tonight all went well....
But since ive had bike the indicators flash like billyo...like if you had one lamp out...
I finally had a look and was expecting to find the wrong lamps fitted .....low watts
They were lower 21W
I think I'm correct that the book says 25W
now I think I may be on it but would like to know how much difference it would make.
If not what else may it be...
Cheers
