100% agree with using distilled water, it's all i ever use and yes, get it done asap. After pulling my land rover engine to bits i replaced the coolent system with neat water, it's cheaper if there's any leaks! Anyhow, something cropped up and it stayed in there for a week before removing it and using a 50/50 mix. Everything that was steel had corroded and the water had already started to discolour. I'm very careful with the maintenance on that side of things now.
the wife is warming to the idea of being a pillion, i think she wants to see me go out and come back on one piece a few times before she climbs aboard! So far i've had a full days training to complete my Compulsary Basic Training (CBT), a full days riding around with an instructor on a suzuki GS500 to get used to the machine, another full days training with my Module one test at the end and next Tuesday i have another full days training and my Module two test at the end of that. Then and only then will i have a sufficient license to ride a motorcycle over 33bhp.
Cheers Marsu, last year was pretty stressful! i won't be carrying out the mods i hoped to with regards to the ignition and fuelling but at least i'll be able to enjoy it and at least get it through another MOT. Oh, by the way, i'm not sure if anyone remembers but i had an issue with my oil pressure being too low......... Well, yesterday i removed the oil pump from the original 2.0 and swapped it with the one which came with the sprint. Oil pressure is now no lower than 25psi at 600rpm when hot. previously it was down to 15 and when the revs dropped when the fan cut in i occasionally saw 10psi. Although the pressure at idle has increased, the pressure is slightly more lethargic to respond when increasing the revs???? strange, still, it wouldn't be a TR7 if it was without any faults what so ever! going to try Penrite 20w60 this year and see what happens.
So you're pleased with the sound Stan? how does the exhaust system differ from your original set up?
Rob.
