Work has been carried out as follows:

  • Full engine service
  • Replaced sump plug washed, engine oil filter and engine oil
  • Replaced spark plug, and replaced air filter
  • The carburettor was removed, stripped and given an ultrasonic clean
  • The carburettor was rebuilt with new parts where required. The snapped float post was repaired and the carburettor refitted to the bike
  • Carburettor tuned
  • New battery fitted with new terminals to leads and charging system tested
  • Automatic decompressor checked

Derek's Comments:

Largely original with just 6,534 miles from new in the hands of its one careful owner.

Recently re-commissioned following little recent use.

A list of work carried out is included.

Original handbook etc.

A rare opportunity to acquire a one-owner XT!
