Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Rebuild back on track

Tank refitted, pc map reloaded and checked it still runs.....

Half - gear change - rearsets fitted

Well....

It's back together .... Ish

I removed the rear sets - I may have another go at them but they were not comfortable for me.... I am breaking in some new hobbit boots so may be too much of a change in one go!

And talk about sorting the clutch out.... Could not get it to bleed ..... Never seen it happen before but my MPL slave casing was cracked... Original fitted and bled up in minutes....

Took it for a bimble around the block - all good

Installed cornish's pc3 map - and then adjusted it a tad.... Went for a quick blast and came back with a huge grin ..... Pulls like a train and the hesitancy coming off the throttle that Keef commented on last summer has gone

One thing of note - I miss the MPL - the standard is harder IMHO

Thought you had a Motopike clutch slave? Or is that on Hanna's?
