Welcome to the club Lee. Glad you got the bike sorted. What were the issues?
Once they’re sorted, CCT’s, reg/rec, front forks, better shock, they really get under your skin.
Enjoy

Thankyou kev.
On the ride home from picking the bike up the reg rec packed up so got that sorted.
Following a service and balancing the carbs it really did not run right, so out with the spanners I found a split in the petcock diaphragm which I then replaced, still no different, final fix was to remove the carbs, clean them out, adjusted the tps to 498 ohms and hey presto a perfect ride home from the workshop at work with no erratic idling or cutting out and a crisp clean throttle.
Work carried out from when I had it was a replacement r/r, full service incl fluids, fork oil seals, new battery and new tyres. Happy lad now lol
