Honda-SOHC

I will keep an eye out for you Brian. 

I'v had a lack of sleep the last few days I finished work at 7pm Saturday and went straight out to the garage.
I striped the complete harness from the bike and split it open to find many dodgy splices and broken wires.

Someone had clearly been messing with it in the past as live wires were piggy backing of each other and earth wires spliced and patched with red cable.
No wounder the wiring diagram made no sence.
After many hours testing, striping or replacing every single wire I now have a new working loom.
I finished and had it all reinstalled by 2am had dinner and went to bed by about 4. I woke up at 7am this morning woundering if I had wired it up correctly pressed the starter and it turns over lovely. Forgot to buy fuel on the way home from work tonight so can't see if it fire up yet but looking promissing. 

Hopefully the knakered loom was the cause of all my running issues I'v had since I'v owned the bike.

I use the bikes as an escape from work but staying up all night and then working the following day has knocked it out of me a wee bit.

Will I do it again to save myself a bob or two.
Yes because I can't help myself Bikes keep me sane if a little tired.

Ash I think they look like the IRC Grand highspeed tyres that were on my 750 when I imported it.

Ralph Upset someone I don't belive it 

I normally sing Motobatts praises but not today.
I finally broke the bikes out of a 2 year hibernation
I had both batteries out of the 750 and 550 in my haist to put them back in connected the wrong one up so reversed polarities in the 550.
Smoke pop bang everything dead is what promptly follows 
Obviously its Motobatts fault  because I would never do anything that stupid. 
I could blame the fact I'v been diagnosed with posibble long Covid but I have already exhausted that excuse after reversing into a Scania truck that compleatly filled my mirrors and some how I didn't see it.

I did think Viton but I always like someone else to confirm things when I'm not sure
The one on there was only a year old it had gone hard and there were only little bits of it left in the sprocket cover. I can't remember where I got it from and never had a problem in the 19 years of ownership and a handfull of new chains and sprockets in that time.

I'v never really trusted it. It seems like a daft way of fitting it

Go for the Continentals you won't regret it.
Fresh rubber makes them so much nicer.

When someone backed into my 750 I spoke to the assessor and explained there could be possible damage to my wheel, wheel bearings and head race bearings and he was more then happy to agree as it may not make its self known straght away.
