Did you get 'your' turbo? Do you still have the exhaust and wheel? I
still have the battery sensor.

This address is valid but let me know if you send an email as it's an

Picking it up this weekend if it gets through the MOT. I will have the
exhaust spare. I'd forgotten about the wheel actually. It was 25 quid
for the wheel or 30 to include the sprocket carrier - do you need the
carrier?

Just need to sort out getting them to you.

Bad form and all that, but I forgot to mention...

I've got a CD that's got the parts diagrams and numbers for the Turbo if
it's any use. In fact it's got all Kawasakis on from about 1968 to 1998.

Just the wheel [1]. I think Champ mentioned he could become involved in
collection/storage.


[1] and exhaust - unless the sprocket carrier is a "must have".

Picking up the wheel on Sunday with the bike - 25 quid.

Champ?



Most should have the CDs on Monday/Tuesday.

Eh? Wha?

Er, ok, what have I undertaken to do? Oh yes, I remember - you work
in Warwick, don't you? So, I could pick up from you after work, say,
and then bring it back to Cheltenham. Which, frankly, is still a long
way from Hove, so I fully expect it to gather dust in my garage for a
good six months.

I have the wheel, but the exhaust will need some attention before it's
fitted, will let you know when wheel and exhaust are ready for a trip to
Swellers.

Sweller - I have your wheel (obviously). It's in very good nick and even
has a good tyre on it, plenty of tread but rubbers gone a bit hard.



First impressions on the turbo.. Well umm, seeing as I rode it across
Birmingham with a half flat back tyre (2 broken compressors at petrol
stations so I gave up on that idea), I couldn't test the handling.
Engine is very sweet and goes like stink, front brakes need attention as
they're pretty ropey, think the pads have fluid on them. Other than that
it needs some TLC but it's not too far off. Cosmetically it needs
attention but I knew that.

Cool. Let me know. Email addy is valid.

Even with air in the tyres, handling is dated, but quite acceptable
imo. The brakes show their age too - they're the sliding pin design,
so make sure the slidy bits are all greased and happy. If you're
going to work thru the bike tidying it up, it'd certainly be worth
stripping and rebuilding the brakes with new pads, fluid, and hoses if
they're original. These bikes are twenty years old now.

Found some coppaslip on the pads, so careless spannering caused that,
new pads should cure it. It's already got new fluid and some stainless
hoses courtesy of the previous monkey, so should be easily sorted.

The work starts here!
