Title: I have returned....
Post by: Hooli on Tuesday, 06 June 2017, 06:45 AM
I've been assured the move to this new place means the **** to decent poster ratio is much lower than before, can anyone confirm this?

For those of you who don't know me, you'll get over it.

Hooli - you're back! Still got that K2 of yours?????
Title: Re: I have returned....
Post by: Hooli on Tuesday, 06 June 2017, 07:37 AM
Aye Barmy, still got it. Lacking miles recently though, I had it parked up for 11 months as it needed -

forks rechroming
chain n sprockets
oil n filter
high pressure filter
stripped thread for the cam cover bolts sorting
clutch slave cleaning out
head bearings
sprocket carrier bearing
fork seals
callipers cleaning up as they got sticky again
stripped thread in a rear calliper mount & snapped bleed nipple on the calliper
bottom yoke n stem
fork bushes, top n bottom

Got it back on the road for may, done 3k since. It's still working as well as ever at over 111k now.

Haha yes I remember that - a very impressive mileage since I have to say!!!! Glad she is still running welll and us back on the road for the summer. I guess you were using the Pan? whilst she was laid up or is that long gone?

The Pan is indeed long gone, I put 20k on it in 18months but when Avon created those useless Ultras instead of Storm 2s I got rid as I couldn't get any tyres that worked on cold wet roads & the only reason I'd kept it was for winter.

I had to drive a french car *spits* why the 14 was off the road, it was a horrible experience.

Welcome back.

I remember your name as a regular contributor from when I first joined the old Org in 2012.

Where does the time go?

Welcome Hooli,

Cheers.  :cheers:

Welcome hooli. Remember the name from the old forum. That is mega mileage. I thought i was doing well with 27000 on mine! You must be in with a shout for the biggest mileage on a 14 ever.

One of the Aussie blokes got 200,000k or was it just short of 300,000k? before it finally grenade itself, can't remember which but sure someone will remember.  Think it was just shy of 300.

I had a burnt out alternator coil, but then I had been overloading the system for years with bigger wattage headlight bulbs & heated grips. That was at about 70K.

The primary TPS failed at around 45k.

And errr, the oil cooler pipes rotted at the crimped bit of the unions after 90k & lots of winter salt.

That's it apart from what I listed in my first post.

Welcome back Hooli,

Kudos on that mileage mate, fantastic :clapping: That would take me approx 20 years to achieve at my current rate :doh:
Here's to your next 111k  :cheers:

stay safe,
