Fluctuation

[Simon White]

Just as a follow up to this - the needle has now settled back to being steadily on the warm mark without fluctuating.  Don't know if it was crud in the cooling system which I hope has been flushed out, or what.  Anyway, as Dave has said already - it's back to being broken, just like normal :).

Now I just need to replace a couple of oil seals, the fork seals, and the little rubber dealy that holds the front indicator on, and get it serviced, and I'll be back in business.  I've been told it's a five week minimum wait on the rubber thing, so in the meantime the indicator just dangles precariously.

Simon.
