Rozabikes Tim:
You lucky man. Free and not such a challenge as the TL125 on the face of it. Parts more easily sourced too.
I'm surprised you are going for the standard colour. Few know but it's a historic fact that all yellow 400 Hondas were faster🙃
Laverda Dave:
Thanks Ian, I'll give Pete Hamber a call on Monday and see what he suggests. The bike hasn't been run since 2008 so may well need a good flush with something (thoughts of Triumph Stag engines spring to mind and the internal corrosion they suffered if left standing).
I was looking at Rick Oliver's site John, he's got some trick bits on there and I was reading about issues with 6th gear?
Tim, yellow :).......now that's an idea although they are supposedly good for 125mph I'm not sure adding another 25mph by the addition of a parakeet yellow paint job as I get with my 400/4 would be wise although yellow is better than the pink that is on there 8).
Bryanj:
Just remember to mix whichever antifreeze it need you mix with distilled or deionised water, never worked on one but dont remember any special fluhing compound for the wings or CX's, i know Cummins use a special water filter unit to stop corrosion

That's a good tip Bryan. I get plenty of distilled water from the dehumidifier, I'll have to empty it into an old anti-freeze container for when J need it👍

Hi Dave,
Have you considered waterless coolant as an option ?
