For long enough I've banged on about how little bother I've had with our well used 1992 500 Bullet.
Today I got my comeuppance.
The old fuel was drained off, put in the car, and replaced with 5 litres of expensive fresh.
Swung the kick start a couple of times. Odd, the ampmeter did not flicker. Oh feck.
Battery at 12.6 but nothing elsewhere.
Strange as it has not moved since it was last ridden then put away two months ago.
Sloblock! I'll look at it next year.
Put the other 5 litres (I had bought 10 litres in two cans ) in the 1952 BSA Flash & a Box, at the second swing of the kickstart - happiness.
Guess which bike is going out tomorrow.
Wishing all here a Happy Healthy New Year
