thanks again for all the feedback, but i'm affraid i'm more convinced that it is an adrenalin rush imminent and will now keep it lit. i wouldn't mind setting it to let me know when i've slowed down to 30mph in build up areas.

wish i had this knowledge base with me ald Tribsa, obviously by the right manufacture.

since i'm here i might as well ask another couple of basic questions? i know they are basic but with this old thing the last thing i want to do is seize it on the basics.

could i have some recommendations on:

What is a PM i.e. is it a perverts mack?

anti-freeze/coolant type and mix?

tyre pressures for road use (only dry use, yes i do respect the old thing)? dare i request track day pressures or would i be laugh of this site.

two stroke oil?

gear box oil and level ckecking?

and i've see conflicting warm up procedures. is this a necessity or not. i normally choke all my bikes for less that 15 seconds and let them stand running for less that 5mins before gently going out until it warms quarter way up the temp gauge, then open it up from then on.

when would you put new rings in?

no need to exhaust you all just yet
