Out and about 2022
Oddjob:
Whose make of chain was that?
Green1:
JT and never had an issue before.
I'm wondering if something was thrown up at it as there is a rub mark on the frame
K2-K6:
Chains are way too tough to suffer from impact damage, looks much more likely material failure.
Could check both sprocket to see if there's anything gone around inside the chain on one of the links though, trying to force the chain wide on a single link.
mike the bike:
Went on a rideout last weekend with the bike club and some MAG types. Only about 80 miles but good fun. The dreaded misfire, which I had forgotten about, has resurfaced. 1 and 4 cut out intermittently, sometimes for a few miles. It's got a Dyna S ignition system which, up to lady year has been good. Dyna don't sell individual pickups but I've tracked down a system on fleabay for about £50 that's fits a Suzuki which I'll make fit.
My other bike, the GPZ500S, hasn't run for 7 months because I've been too busy with work, building my car port, then the weather turned shite.
Anyway, I put fresh juice in it and after ½ minute of cranking, it started up. It hadn't been trickle charged or anything, the Motobatt held a good charge over the winter. Dead impressed with that.
Orcade-Ian:
We had a ride down from Orkney to Fife - on the north side of the Firth of Forth on the C125 Super Cubs a week or two ago - probably a bit too early in the year but we were mostly lucky with the weather. About 600 miles in a fairly relaxing but fun-filled 6 days
