Description
Matching numbers bike that's in very good, largely original, condition particularly for a 49 year old bike.
Bike imported and registered in 2011. I acquired the bike in August 2012 and have hardly used it since.
Last MOT was carried out 27. 10. 12 with a mileage of 4817. It has been garaged since and occasionally turned over to ensure it didn't seize.
Current mileage is showing as 4858 and although this can't be verified prior to 2011, the condition and originality of the bike suggests it is genuine.
Some older restoration / re-commissioning work includes:
Fork seals, little end bearing, head stock bearings, front & rear brake shoes, seat cover replaced, ceramic coating of the exhaust, new rear tyre and NOS air filter.
More recent work includes:
Head and barrel striped, cleaned and re-painted, dismantling and ultrasonic cleaning of the carburettor, decompression valve, piston, reed valves and fuel tap with new seals / gaskets fitted as appropriate, fresh gearbox oil.
New front tyre and inner tube.
File of receipts, dating certificate and number plate authorisation certificate from the DVLA.
Some spares / accessories included (seals, gaskets, mirrors, jets and engine rubbers, etc., etc.) and assorted workshop manuals, as shown.
Toolkit (not sure if it is all genuine) and two keys.
Headstock label says it was manufactured July 1977, but for some reason the DVLA decided to register it on an 'R' plate (which would not have been possible) instead of an 'S' plate (01. 08. 77 on).
Have a video of it being started from cold which I can email to anyone interested.
Great, useable, low mileage 2 stroke trail bike from the 70's.
