750 front brake master cyl

[kiwi k]

Jim in my condition i am not running anywhere at this minute in time but if all goes to plan could possibly go for a ride over to whirty

And Rob yes the Motorcycle hot-dog man still attends Old Buck, Thankfully Ben (landlord) also opens an external bar but is still a bun-fight, as most weeks because of good weather normally 400+ bikes so rather busy.

So do you fancy a run over to Whitwell on the 31st? Can't make this Friday as we are off down the coast for something to eat (got a walk back home, so hoping not to meet Black Shuck )

Be happy to meet up somewhere around Norwich

If Weather is OK on 31st then I would be good for a Whitwell trip - may PM you next Thursday after checking weather. Old Buckenham sounds good so will try to get over there as well sometime in August - I was trying to get a mate to take my 400 and me on the 1100 so it's almost a Katana meeting!

Right hopefully you get this (Rob + Jim) tonight is a no go for me, fork seals swapped easily got new springs yesterday and then set about doing spring swap and oil , 1 fork top totally disintegrated and still trying to remove the pieces, only good point is i have a set off spare forks so have a replacement top , hopefully finish rebuilding over the weekend and get mot'd next week, so still make it this year if not fenland is soon

Haven't been to Old Buckenham yet, will have to try before summer's out. Is the guy selling the Hot Dogs still there? His homemade chilli sauce is bloody good on those. He tends to do Wimbotisham as well.

I must of not altered the wheel alignment last year as exactly the same advisory, and the new Master now works as should and tester said i was being Anal about brake lever travel.
So i'm ready for any trip now Mot'd so Rob if your going (to strawberry fair) sorry got carried away i mean't Wimbotisham , and if you time it right i'll even buy you a chilli sauce coated Hot dog, i'll be there as bank holiday weather is reported to be good + Sunny , has been a rocky road for mot but got there in the end and who knows maybe i might see 100 miles this year yet

I will also be doing Whirtwell station this friday night if you fancy a trip out

Wahoo indeed! Had arranged to go to Old Buckenham tonight for the first time, but cancelled it as weather is shite. Whitwell sounds good (was planning to maybe try again as possibly the last chance this year and also planning to get to Wimbotisham (all weather dependant!).

Go for a yellow Motobatt - work well and no need to worry about topping up. Was hoping to do front wheel bearings on 1100 before then as well! Also last run on the 400 was good until around Framlingham Castle way when it decided to run on 3.5 cylinders It was just after hitting a really large pothole - but that maybe coincidence. Need to check it out, first look if that is fires every now and then as pipe does get warm but not as quick as the other 3. Plug was really wet - I'm kind of thiniking Carb pumping in too much fuel (how strange a 400 with a carb issue - I blame JohnR), so a stripdown to check it out.

Catch you end of week to see if what your plans are.

Have a good spin to check it all out before hand.

Old buck tonite i was the 4th bike of the nite after the other 3 had just left , but thankfully 1 more arrived 10 mins l8r, 2hrs l8r left and got 500 yds from home and piffed down , but was nice just to go for a ride out .

But like said weather is nice for whole of the w-end so i will be at Fenman, i'll catch you then and hopefully more Kat owners and oldskoolers


Forgot tomorrows job fit front wheel bearings (snap) and realign wheels and better lube chain and also put some working bulbs in speedo ohh and re bleed front brakes and
