New AF owner in UK

Post by krazy »

Hello,

Just picked up a 2003 AF yesterday. Seems to be in pretty good shape and bought from a nice guy who looked after it. It is a pig to start so I need to figure out what's going on there. I have gone through the "usual" starting sequences but still only idled for about 5 seconds. Anyway I will start a new thread for the technical stuff. Looking forward to learning a lot from this site. Not my first 2 stroke but my first CR.

----- Bike details from Ad ----------

This bike is one of only 15 made for 2003 that utilised the frame geometry of a 125. the rest were based on the 250, (that does not mean it has a 125 frame, it has never been a 125, it just shares the same cornering characteristics). the steering was tighter, it was also lighter. It was made bespoke to the spec of the first keeper who owned service racing uk, the original importer of the bike and service hondas then uk dealer. I am the second owner.
It has a v5 with reg plate, headlight unit and rear light unit (lights for show only) but would need mot/tax/horn for road use.
The bike wants for nothing. its stupidly fast.
Ive only used the bike a few times, once this year and most of the bearings on it have not even gone through their run in period. Its ready to go.
