Hi Rob, that looks like a Hi-Tech track bike!
Does it have exhaust sensors?

Yes. Type K thermocouples for measuring EGTs

How did that work out?

Not much use, as the temperature can be low for good or bad reasons...

Probably more useful on a 4 cylinder engine as you can see which is the odd one out more easily. On a twin you are never sure if one is too high or the other too low.

Thats roughly my thoughts as well. I think the operater has to be "Dialled" in to be able to read them correctly.

You can see your normal running temps, so you may notice it is hotter or colder than normal but what that means is difficult to identify.

Just replaced the water overflow pipe with a black one. Put the new fuel tap on and fitted new fuel lines and hose clips. Washed out the new tank and put in a gallon of Esso Super plus unleaded fuel premixed, as never use an oil pump.
Replaced a missing rubber seal on the fuel cap of the old tank....
Only a few minor parts to finish off.
I went to the post office yesterday and asked about putting this bike onto Historic Vehicle class. They said I needed to tax it, so I showed them my filled in V112 MOT exception form and gave them the V5. They said they would tax it on Historic Vehicle class from today :-) £0 Total

Fitted nice Nikko horns and fitted plugs in the EGT ports on the down pipes.

Refurbished 4L0 standard wheels with machine marks still in the spokes. Good used BT45 front tyre. New BT46 rear tyre.

Just flushed out pink tank and transferred the fuel over. Came back and found these beauties. I feel like I am in an Allen Millyard video  |
