Seeing as my KLR got nicked on Tuesday I've dug out the nc30 from its nearly four year hibernation, I got a new battery for it anyway, so it got gently rocked in gear to make sure it wasn't seized (which it wasn't) put some fresh fuel in, took the vac pipe off the tap an sucked on that for a bit(!!) put it back on, put the choke on, pressed the start button quick just to make sure it would spin over ok and it started third press!!!!! Ace.
Now just to clean it, which will take much longer!!!
Cheers
Ian

Cleaned the inside of my headlights.- they fog up with a white residue - no idea what it is. Used two magnets wrapped in dusters...

Peeled the cover off the thing to check the damage caused by a paint tin falling on it

Thoroughly enjoyed a decent ride out on the Honda today - managed a respectable pace thanks to a dry road, non-freezing temperatures and even a little sunshine. Bring it on!

I'm still waiting to hear the result of the paint incident. Same thing happened to my ZXR750. Left a nice dent in the tank on an otherwise immaculate bike. Why couldn't it have bounced off the seat? Taught me to NEVER put anything heavy on a shelf anywhere near my bikes.

Loosened the stiff throttle, cleaned the chain, re-fitted the fuel tap vacuum hose, re-seated the carbs. Next up air filter and plugs.

Yesterday I took her out of mothballs.
Despite having the battery on trickle charge all winter - it wasn't enough to fire her up. I guess with drained carbs etc - by the time it had cranked over enough to suck fuel in (after a 5month sleep) there wasn't enough to fire.

Jump started from the car - and she was fine. Filled up with new fuel then spent an hour in the local training school's ground practicing slow control (going fast is easy - but I always seem to struggle with full lock steering after time off)...then did 100km. All good.

Today I woke up early and after walking the dogs had breakfast in Windermere. Then drove down to Rivington Barn. Covered 300km today. A good start. Roads v v greasy and lots of salt about - so hose and polish this afternoon.
Excited for the coming Spring. Thought for today : All hail heated grips!
:D

Luckily, oh so luckily, the only damage done seems to be a cracked screen
