Painted the side covers late yesterday and have contacted a local upholsterer ability making a seat cover (unfortunately my friend isn’t able to do it).

Also I’ve insured it with Go Skippy. £90.97 fully comp with only a £50 excess. Wasn’t sure on value so I stuck 4.5k down (gotta be optimistic!). Strangely you can find these old bikes on a  lot of comparison sites and on others where you have to put the VRN in it was coming up as some 400cc Suzuki..!? Double checked my paperwork from the DVLA and it’s all correct

Nurse Julie:
Your bike reg number actually comes up on DVLA as a 400 Yamaha, registered in UK May 18 Something not quite right there. Have you insured it as a Honda 750 or a Yam 400?

As a Honda 750. I’ve checked my DVLA paperwork and it all checks out so I’ll give them a call in case they’ve made a mistake on their system somewhere.

Had the old girl out again this morning, keeps dying after 10-15 mins and then doesn’t want to run until it’s cooled down.

Is this likely to be battery related? Don’t think it was fully charged when I set off but doesn’t make sense why it would spring back to life after cooling down. The other thing that has crossed my mind is air leaks around the carbs opening up when things start expanding?

Rob62:
Conking out after 15 mins then not starting till cooled down sounds like an electrical component failing at higher temperature... coil maybe. Or it could be fuel starvation but unlikely....
