I think that was the Bio-Blade, which was a 5th gen in Blade clothing.
Yes, that's the one. 👍

I once read a series of articles in a Belgian magazine called Motorrijder where they prepped a 5th gen for endurance racing. Can't find the article at the moment but below is a clip of that 5th gen riding at Zolder.

Thinking about the fork lower with the stripped bolt last night and I think I may use a cheap allen wrench and JB weld it into the hole. That should take care of the issue.
I often had success whacking a torx bit into the stripped allen head.

Beautiful! 😍

The Fuel Cut Relay is the only device detecting engine running via the Tacho output from the Spark Unit. Assuming his bike matches the drawing supplied above!
So does the oil pressure switch. I used it to trigger some xenon bulbs. Using the regular starter switch circuit they sometimes would not ignite due to too low voltage after releasing the starter.

For those in Europe looking for trim clps: Würth is a good source. Bought a few boxes of different sizes years ago. At that time they were €8 for a box of 50.

Oil has changed a great deal and I can see the oil companies are designing oils for the car masses and the motorcycle side of it is just a sideline, ( in comparison )
Not Putoline. Putoline only makes lubricants and coolants for motorcycles, scooters and quads.

It may not be as hot here (>35C days are rare) but I have experienced my right leg getting hot when stopped at a traffic light and the fan kicks in.

I have a hugger on my third gen and haven't noticed any difference. Never paid special attention to it either but if the difference in heat was substantial I think I would have noticed.

MRA makes quality windshields, and for the third gen they have four models including a touring screen:

It is not the key that is worn a bit? Have you tried the spare key?

I hope to visit Scotland too for some riding and hiking, as from what I've seen the views are amazing.

On the 800's you can´t gain ride height by flipping the excentric as the axle is already in the lower position. This only works on the 750s where you can gain about 3cm ride height.

Doesn´t look abandoned to me. It may have been parked there for some time and looks a little rough. But these 3rd gens are cheap and so is parking as you can park a motorcyle anywhere as long as it does not obstruct other traffic (including pedestrians). "Private" indoor parking spaces are scarce in Amsterdam and sometimes go for a crazy amount of money

Regarding the gallery pic, I guess it depends on the screen you are using. The current gallery pic takes almost one page on my screen.
There is a button in the bottom right corner that says "mark site read".

I guess you can't go wrong with this stuff:

The enhanced piston diameter reduces the heaviness of the original clutch action and brings much relief to aching arms.
This will definately make a difference. Hard to tell by how much without knowing what diameter the oberon slave cilinder has.

I use the same procedure as mohawk descibes. Never fails.

I remember those being very popular around here during the eighties. Lots of fun to ride, and to make them go faster.

Nice! Will you be visiting the classic TT next month?

With the seal is installed you should always be able to see/read the text.

Coming together nicely 👍👌

The service manual only mentions the thickness of the friction plates: 2.92-3.08 (0.115- 0. 121)

The stacks don't need to have linear movement, do they? Or can you otherwise not get enough clearance?
