Les, as I understand it the engine was rebuilt again after you sold it and that wasn’t very successful as it was running badly. The chap I bought it off rebuilt it again and found a crank seal hadn’t been installed correctly.
I had the tank off yesterday to replace a frayed throttle cable and it’s like new still under there.
I don’t know if there are meet ups on here but I will try to get to one on the bike if there is.

Andy, I have a phone book size stack of paper work that I’m still ploughing through but I saw that mine used to be black and that the paintwork was done in 2009. Were our bikes painted by the same person? At the same time?
Single sided swing arms never really did it for me so it was always the ‘exotic ‘ mc21 I lusted after but couldn’t afford.
200 miles on a Nsr , you obviously enjoyed it then! I used to go touring on my first Rgv and put a lot of miles on it, never missed a beat (spat me off alot though!).

Cheers guys.
