Problem is it only lasted 700 miles
I ride it like I own it Red, I doubt any engine can take 900 miles a week at your pace lol :lol: Pop round Red and give it a GO (Only round my street though lol)

For once it wasn't due to my riding style that caused mine to fail.

Credit to AF who rebuilt for nothing even though Jerome had built it the first time.

There was an issue with the kit,.
Once it had been rebuilt it only lasted about 300 miles and was yet again rebuilt by AF.

This one lasted 2500 miles and went bang big style. :o Yes that was due to me thrashing it,I'd had the reed petals and rings changed after only 1500 miles

That was 3 kits in 7 months :o went back to the TS after that and touch wood it's been Ok for the last 3 years ;) :)
