Three and a half years and about $3000 but she runs like a kitten and passed the MOT with flying colours. I admit to having the final tuning and safety check done but Power Pro here on the Gold Coast but I have no regrets as I managed to get her up running and stopping with functioning electrics before I asked an expert to check her out. Made a couple of timing errors but my major problem was the cheap Chinese points - only Yamaha parts for me in future. Old fellow there did his apprenticeship on the XS and made me an offer I simply laughed off, this XS goes to one of my sons - which one is going to be a bit of a lottery draw - motivation to look after me in my dotage. Never thought I'd say it but, apart from poorly aligned front forks and the ongoing maintenance required by a 42 year old motorcycle, she's done! My thanks for all your assistance and support gentlemen. I'm planning next weekend's trip!!
PS. I have sorted that indicator - faulty flasher.
Cheers
