Well I took it to Rockingham, Went lunchtime so I could have a tinker. Seemed to be running ok but had a slight coolant leak. Took tank off and fixed that.  Decided to give it a run through the tunnel and back.
seemed ok but really low on power, got me through the tunnel and up the hill to the turn area then stalled about 3 times, coasted back to tunnel and eventually got it started and limped through the tunnel and back to car. Stalled just at the car and then the starter started cranking of its own accord. Got to the new master switch and turned it off. Loaded up and went home. Bit miffed.
Calmed down a bit now, 1 there must be a fault somewhere in the wiring that is giving false signals to starter system. 2 The relay must be under specified to keep fusing closed like it has.
Engine - either I got the cam fitted one tooth out or it has an air leak/ fuel restriction.
May have to wait a while as I have other things to do that I have been putting off for a while.
Keep checking if you are interested as I haven't given up yet.

Engine Vibrations

Well after riding Stuarts 640 supermoto and this bike back to back, the vibration had to be coming from somewhere. The rear mount was one thing I hadn't paid too uch attention to when I started the project. Stripped it down at the weekend. I dropped the back of the engine and managed to drift one of the top hat spacers out, but the other one wasn't  having it. Decided to take engine right out to get better access. Was thinking I might have to drill it out. Made a drift from a long stainless bolt and machined the head in the lathe making the lip thinner eventually, with the lip about .5mm thick I got a good contact with the end of the bush and got the bugger out. Both the spacers were about 1mm oversize on the ID so the back of the engine had about 1mm of play.  Next job is to make some new spacers and fit them, have ordered some bar stock for that. May move the oil cooler while its apart.

Been working on cooling system now exhaust is done. Bought TDM850 Rad which has a pressure cap thinking i wouldn't need a separate expansion tank. Now the rad is mounted as high as i can get it, the filler is not the highest point on the system so will need a small expansion tank to fill from. Ordered a RS125 one that should do the job. Fitted some hoses but need some more bends to plumb the red in neatly. Its very congested and tricky round the water pump area.
