I have had plenty of experience with the Athena 170. Bad quality casting and bad overall performance. There was even a hole in my cylinder which leaked coolant. Athena wouldn't bother. Don't buy if you are looking for performance.

This is good stuff then? Reasonable price as well.

@NINJA I've actually managed to get a garage space! Will try to chain it the best I can

They're out now

O my god what a relief! Athena is up and running! Jesus Christ I have never ever been so afraid of something going wrong. Hopefully the worst part is over. Still afraid a circlip will come loose and mess EVERYTHING up. But, I've done my best, bring on the summer

@rollzy101 nice!

I stripped a cheap pair and polished the aluminium. Pretty satisfied.

It's not like the engine is 57°. The coolant is.

@declan Good oil can and will prolong the life of the engine. That's my only concern.
Cheap oil, no thanks.

@declan

Happy new year to everyone! Glad to see the forum is alive and well still, so many good memories from this place

Ordered the xx14. Seems good enough. Have to engineer some sort or holder under the seat so I can bring it easily.

Can you link the right model of disc lock? Seems to exist quite a few?

@theportingmaster Nice! I was thinking about one of them disc brake alarms though. Anyone got experience with them?

Might have to store my bike outside during a couple of weeks. Thinking of buying a cover and an alarm. Can you guys give me any recommendations? I already have a couple of beefy chains.

Dt125 and Nsr both sold. Currently own a Husky SM 610 and a Honda Hornet 600. Moved to another city for studies. How are all of you guys doing? Any new projects? Calum how is the rs coming along?

Cheers

@Walney-Reptiles thanks for the reply! Yes I have found the same, I'll check valve clearance though.
