Finished the MB5 today!



I got everything back together, turned on the key and the fuel tap, pulled the choke and gave the kick starter a stab. Nothing. Another kick, and oi! It started right up! Not much smoke either. It requires the choke to be on for a while, something I am not used to with my FI bike.

I let it warm up and it then settled into a bit of a high idle, but the 28 year old motor seems to be OK. 1st to 2nd shift fork is a bit dicey, but as long as you blip the throttle whilst rolling and looking for neutral, there isn't a problem.

It leaves soon.........
