Well, took the boy out for his first run on the RM80N today. He is used to riding a ktm50 which is auto and has only had 1 quick ride on a manual 65cc. So, it was a learning curve for him today and he did well and really enjoyed it. Just running the bike in using first and second gear at the moment. Bike is starting and running well considering it is the first time it has been ridden in years, as the previous owner had it in a shed and when i got it, it was completely rebuilt.
Initial impression: Motor is still tight with a bit of a bog off bottom. Front wheel squeeking like a mouse even though i have new wheel bearings, brakes and seals in there. There is a rattle coming from the engine somewhere.
Everything else is fine. When we got home, i washed and dried it and covered it in WD40 and put her away for a while until i have time to go through it all.
It was great to see the boy riding around in his Suzuki gear and seeing an "N" going around for the first time in 36 years.
Cheers,
Alex
