Two problems sorted - whats next?!?

Forums

Thanks to this forum my introduction to the world of Commando ownership is going along nicely.

Two fairlycommon issues by the sounds of it solved - the n/s fork leg pinch bolt fracture and more recently a Boyer wiring problem.

A bit of a light hearted question but onefor the more experienced owners out there - whats the next "problem" going/likely to be??

Answers on a postcard...

Ha ha...didnt need to wait long. Phoned my mate and suggested we go for a wee run up the Glens. Went outside 10 mins after posting this post and it would not start. Anyway to cut a long story short it is the ingition barrel this time. Voltage going in and none (okay...about 5v) coming out from each tab.

Barrel off, hot wired and away we go. Next job is to buy a new barrel and key. Doh. I suppose that's all to be expected form a 42 year old bike thats not been on the road for several years but here' hoping none-the-less that's the shake down over.

The bike ran perfect though and had a great run.

What's next to break? lol
