I finally took a legal ride on my r3 today

It ran really well

It seems to have a bit more fire in it than my t160 when it gets above 6000rpm

It also vibrates more

The carbs are pretty much dialed in from what I can make out

There's no flat spots,you can cane it and pull up at the lights and it just idles no problem

The things that aren't good are the clutch,the brakes,and it's leaking oil

The clutch is horrendously heavy

I need to find out exactly what has been done to the clevis on the clutch actuator

Because I can't get the cable off to change it

And I want to re adjust the clutch

The front brake hasn't worked as well as I thought

But the disc seems greasy so I'll degrease and fit new pads but I'm not that hopeful

The engine could do with a top end strip and new gaskets and seals

None of these issues are a problem on an old bike such as this

Even with a baffle in that northy exhaust it's got quite a voice on it!!!
