I have a rebuilt 1980 RD350LC sitting at home with a completely buggered tank. Someone has put a liner in it at some point in its life and now bits are peeling off and clogging everything up.
Apparently Acetone is good a dissolving tank liners but im worried about what it may do to the paint.
My first attempt this week is to wash it out then fill it with a bit of water and a few nuts and bolts. Then completely wrap the tank in bubblewrap, foam etc and chuck it in my cement mixer for an hour.
One word about Caustic Soda and the like, never add water to it. Always add it to water.

Cor some whizzoes on this forum. Wish I understood electrics better.
I'm an electronics engineer, I spend my days in hospitals fixing MRI scanners.

You put your original working key in (step 14) and all your new keys after that will be programmed to the original working key.
Dont think there is a limit to how many times you can program keys, the only limit is you can have a maximum of 4 keys.
Once the programming sequence has started, you must program all your new keys one after the other.
I only had one original key for my bike, i bought another blank, got it cut then programmed this to match the original.
Then my mate who i bought the bike off found the spare key, gave it to me but this one now no longer works. The starter just spins and the bike wont fire.
If i want this one to work, ill have to start the process again and program the 3 together, one of the working ones and next working one and then the non working one.

I’ve just checked the registration from the pic in the first post, that’s not exempt either.

I’ve just checked my 1974 550 and it says I have to pay the charge.
It’s registered as historic so is mot and tax exempt?

I always turn the fuel tap off about 1/4 mile before I get home so the carbs are pretty empty when I put her back in the garage.

I have a new old stock '550 Four' panel badge, still in the original Honda bag unopened.
The lettering is normal bog standard white.

The 1.2v will be a normal voltage drop due to wiring loom.
The voltage to the coils is not direct and goes via the kill switch. There is a mod not specifically for your bike but in general where a relay is used to take the voltage straight from the battery to the coils and the normal supply to the coils is used to switch the coil on the relay. 
That's the same mod as used on old VW busses. I used to have a 1962 WV bus, the battery was in the back with the engine. The feed to the coils went all the way from the battery to the ignition switch then all the way back to the coil. By the time it got back there it was about 8 volts, probably about 16 feet of cable. Relay next to the battery sorted it.

Just had the company car MOT'd by that well known company, 2 words first one begins with K. If it was my own car I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole, but the lease company say we have to use them. From them getting my car out of their car park to finishing and parking it up, 15 minutes exactly  I know the MOT rules have changed but didn't realize it was way quicker now.
