Hi All
Just joined up and wanted to say hi (Jim from Southampton, UK). I have been working on an old XT600 (43F) for the last month ready to get it MOT'd and road registered.
We have already had many 'trials' along the way (if anyone wants to know how a kick start XT600 can be started and how it runs with a completely blocked pilot jet then let me know - I can provide details down to the exact amount of excruciating pain suffered in the thigh muscles...)
It's a tatty 1984 orphan from Belgium and has already had some work done to it - all the frame joints & bearings seem good & tight. I sorted the poor starting and running issues today (basically caused by fuel left for 5 years). But I am hoping that Tuesday will see the new MOT and I can then submit the V355/5 and get a reg plate in a week or so.
Anyway - just wanted to say hi and thanks for the forum - it has been an invaluable resource for me getting this far.
Thanks,
Jim
