Thruxton Standard Special

It was on the sticker on the tank, doh before it was painted.
From what I remember it said 4000 rpm until 500 mile first service, after that I cannot recall but I’m sure When you get the service completed they’ll let you know.
Enjoy mate

 

I bought an R about 4 weeks ago, I’ve been out 3 times, first 2 outings I had a puncture both times and the 3rd it started raining half a mile from leaving home so about turn! That’s been my 2018 riding

 

Wow don’t touch until 2019 so the bad luck stays with this year!!!.
It’ll be the best bike you’ve ever owned next year

 

Thanks Glyn
The first puncture, rear tyre, was a piece of glass which had managed to penetrate the tyre through to the tube. Local bike shop fitted a new tube but didn’t put a “mushroom” in the tyre itself. I rode it the day after and tyre was flat after a few miles. I took it to a normal tyre fitting place who do bike tyres too. He found the tube had been pinched by the previous shop. He fitted me a new tube and also plugged the tyre. £15 so couldn’t grumble. I won’t be going back to the first place again!
I’ve also put some puncture prevention sealant in both tyres now.
As you say though, I’ve done til next year.

 

I’ve just spent my time tinkering, fitted some nice paddock stand bobbins, changed a few hanger bolts. Cleaned it to within an inch of its life. Oh I did the carb/throttle bodies with some fine scotchbrite to get the nice brushed finish back as they seem to discolour. I’ve also treated all the alloy with ACF50

 

Have you not had a tug for that plate yet?

 

Not yet but at the same time I don’t recall passing any police with it on.
So I can’t say you wouldn’t be stopped with one, although it does look sooo much better than yellow.

I’ve just crossed my fingers and toes before my next ride out
