Just a little update on the tyres, went out in the p**sing rain and rode it like i nicked it, as always and the grip level is as good in the wet as in the dry. I am glad you did this project you made my ol girl a lot more friendly.

If you have had her running its probably down to bad technique for her not starting today. If you have flooded her it maybe worth you changing your spark plug.
