The smell of it.

It had been a long week of not being able to ride and I thought I'd wheel it outside and kick it over for no other reason than to get a whiff of the good stuff. Here's a short clip of the engine ticking over.




You can see a character graze I got when I slipped on the moss in the shed and it fell against an rusty old rotary hoe.....I took it out for a quick ride and in true Victorian style it rained and it cut my fun short anyway...she's running well, I put a B7HS plug in and gave the mix screw an 1/8th turn out and the hesitation I had was gone. I can say that it's just hungry for throttle, if it's not flat out it's begging for it.  Once it's warmed and I'm out riding the idle is a little faster than when I start it up, but after about 20 seconds it settles down, not sure why?
900kms on the new DR kit, 5305kms on the clock.
