May Flyer

 25th May 2024

First trip out, about 12 miles around the locale.  Once warm revved pretty hard (to 5500rpm) in third and fourth along the Barton straight, everything a bit blurry up there.  Motor felt strong with a loud intake roar.  A bit tappetty otherwise when pottering along.  A couple of little chuffs on shut off.  

The work over the winter on fork maintenance and alignment doesn't seem to have improved stiction.  Although some ATF has leaked onto the garage mat from the bottom fork bolt.  Will have to sort that next job.  Rockers are oil tight now it seems after tappet adjustment last autumn.

Next major task, Dynometer at Dragon in Durham.
