Thanks Julie for posting pics! It is still a bit of a mystery to me, the only thing I can come up with is that the stopper plate is not the correct one for the bike. The main thing is she moves nicely through the gears.

One or two more teething issues! Horn stopped working so stripped horn and got it “honking” again. Went to start bike then and it ran like shit. Not firing at all on 2 and 3 must have disturbed coil connections when I pulled horn wires apart. So removed tank, renewed connection on yellow coil wire and hey she’s running good but not starting on the start button. Starter is whirring but not engaging with engine. Removed alternator cover and rotor and starter wheel spinning on shaft, bolt on the crankshaft end completely loose. Thing is they were never removed from crankshaft when the engine was stripped, nevertheless should have taken the torque wrench to it and checked it was tight. All torqued up now and ready for another spin round the block on a dry day. This is exactly why I am keen to get going to iron out all gremlins before that sunny spring day. “Happy Days” 😃😃

As long as she is a good mover in the gearbox dept. that's all that matters. Just read your other post on the teething issues, this is the benefit of finishing a build in the winter. All the issues will be sorted ready for the good weather.
