Title: At long last....
Post by: Matt_Harrington on May 18, 2023, 03:38:04 PM: Well, I managed the 1st quick run out on the open road today for my 400. I was surprised how well everything was. A few tweaks are required and then hopefully take her out at the weekend.

Now onto the Yellow 400 and it's engine rebuild!

Great looking thing but I always did like red bikes

Post by: Matt_Harrington on May 19, 2023, 09:10:55 AM: Thanks guys - always a bit of trepidation on the first run but it all seemed OK - chain needs adjusting as do the brakes but not much else.
