Not sure, didnt try. It's been in a garage for 10 years as you can see from the tax disc. It is not seized and when it was put in the garage it was a runner. I'm going on holiday tomorrow until Thursday. Once I get it back to my house it will be a case of changing all the engine fluids (petrol, oils, coolant) and the spark plugs, then i'll see if it starts.

Hopefully will have it running by next weekend. Will definitely make a video Thumbs Up Mr. Green

As you can see from the picture the tank has a leak and has spilt fuel down the frame so that needs attention too.

I was very surprised at the condition it was in and after seeing the mileage there was no doubt I was going to buy it. Even the tyres are in pretty good nick, have plenty of tread and not much perishing.

Clicky

A) What do you mean you didn't think I liked working on bikes? I love it, why do you think I work as a part time mechanic. Unlike you though I buy bikes that already work so I don't have to do much to them Wink

B) Yes Laughing
