What do you think I should do? The forks are not leaking or anything but it feels like they could be better. My options are to pull them both apart and completely rebuild them with new fork springs as well (I´ve heard the ones fitted to this bike are already too soft).
Or I could just change the oil and meanwhile change the seals as a preventative measure.
Either way I want to change that oil for some thicker as it is also bad from factory (can´t imagine it has become any better after sitting in there for 18 years).
I guess some new fresh oil could be a good start at least.

@Calum that sound like my starter
Sweet btw

Won't the 199cm3 text be an issue at the mot?

@Calum The Dt you haven't ridden in years?

@2stroketerry Yeah that's more like it!

@NINJA I've looked almost everywhere. I mean that most hoses today are like made up of two layers, with like some lacing inside. The OEM one is thinner and originally flexible.

@NINJA yeah sure i could get an OEM replacement. Not sure £40 is worth it though. Must be some good stretchable hose out there

So I have an issue. I managed to break my original Honda fuel hose, no big deal I thought, I got fuel hoses at home.

That was until I realised the original hose has one end measuring 8mm inner diameter and the other end 11 or 12mm.

So the 8mm hose fits well on one side, but is dangerously squeezed on the other. (Used a heatgun to get it on the other side).

The original hose is like very stretchable whilst all the hoses I find for sale is just very stiff. Hence why it is a nightmare to pull on and off.

What should I do? Is there hoses out there with a different inner diameter on both ends?

Thanks

Hmm how does the main bearings feel? Any play?

So my 600 has been hard to start lately. It's got 2 ignition coils. Noticed one of the ground cables missed it's retaining screw, it was also plenty of surface rust on there.

I'll sort it tomorrow, just want to hear what you guys think.
