Kobus started the bike on the second or third kick. I think I'll wait until I'm more fit to kick start it from cold. At this stage I'm keeping it a bit longer. Thanks for the interest.
Due to a recent illness, I cannot kick start the Suzi when its been standing for a week. Once it starts, all it needs is a prod to get it started again. Its a project bike which I found on a farm with 1467 km on the clock. Its now on 3400 odd km. Roadworthy, licensed till April 2020 and data...
Personally, I agree with Adie. I would rather have the heat in front being cooled while riding, than closer to the fuel tank. But every now and then, they have to come up with something new.
