Finally got an interim payment & obviously needed a big bike with summer nearly here...however, with a £500 budget theres not a lot out there!
£390 later, this happened.

It has a logbook and a pile of panels but no key.
Removed ignition barrel, removed seat, removed tank and set about hotwiring it to see what worked and what diddnt.

Electrics checked out, so hooked up the remote tank and fired it up;

After a lot of popping, farting, refusing to rev and such it appeared to sort itself out!

Needs bar ends, tail light bulb, rear indicators and rear brake to have fluid in it. Also needs downpipes bodging as they disintegrated when it backfired

Right.
Make sure you check the plug caps, sometimes they don't fit properly need some wd/gt around them to stop rain going down. Same with battery terminals and vaseline, due to the way the fairings let water in
Bottom of tanks rust, so maybe drain it out and see how it's doing/add an inline filter.
The wiring to the indicators and horn always seemed to be fucked on ones I had.
The linkage on the brake pedal will rust and seize slightly.
The exhaust never seemed to line up correctly.
Don't trust the compartment, a big bump or a wheelie will have it bounced open. I glued a velcro bit over the top to help with it, and wired a cig lighter and foamed around the edge to help waterproof.
Clearances need to be done around 28k. Seems to be half and half from what I've seen on the 600s, the 900s never seem to need doing. ____________________ Previous: GSF600, FZR600 x2, ZXR750, XT600 Tenere, CB125, CZ125, ETZ 250, ER5, CCM R30, DRZ400, RF600x4, RF900x2, GS500, VTR1000F, 640 SMC, CB250 NIGHTHAWK, GT550x3, GPX750 TE610, CB500, X11x2, SV650, ZING 125, TL1000R,CB250 Superdream, CBR1100XX |

Today I did;
Bleed back brake
Pack original downpipes with exhaust putty
Did wiring for indicators
Fixed clicky speedo drive
Bolted grab rails on
Fitted correct tail panel with screws not tape
Fitted universal tail tidy so i can have indicator brackets.
Fitted chain tensioner

Road tested it, performs well other than a slight splutter low down (however, I still need to do the service). It's quicker than a bandit and seems to handle better too. Mirrors shot on the right hand side.
Then jetwashed all the muck off it, it's been in a garage for quite a while stored up.

Need to bolt on indicators when they arrive, then we're on for MOT. Lower fairings wont be going back on till I've serviced it & im not pulling the tank off till the new rubbers arrive.

How long that exhaust holds however I really don't know.
Bodged some other indicators on. I think I'm now MOTable...will get it tested today.
