New Bike - robatweston - 02-09-2024
After around a year looking I now have a late registered MK1 on a N plate in the rare mauve colour.
Picked it up last weekend and started to service it
Good strong engine but the normal problem with the suspension.
Forks need a rebuild but not a problem because have done the forks several times before.
Rear shock has been replaced to a YSS but this is shot
Does anyone Have a rear shock for a MK 1
Every think else on the bike is fairly good and should have it on the road with in a month or two
Another one savedÂ

The rear shock is off and sent to T-Tech for refurb, He did the rear shock for me on my KTM and did a great job so should be ok.
Started on the forks which have no damping at all and was amazed when I took the tops off, The rod that adjusts the damping is missing,
I think its called the dip rod or diver, I don't think you can buy these any more so the big question is anybody have any of these or know where I can get some

Also if you are making everything look noice,. I asked Lee to make me a rebuild kit for the adjusters... You know the knarled flat head marshmallow atop the shock. I made a post aboot it somewhere.

That would be great if you have some, I will have a wait a week or so until I can get the forks out completely because I have the bike suspended from the shed roof because the rear shock is out.
When the shock come back I will completely strip the front and see what else is missing

I installed them on my Mk1, but can't remember if the adjusters were actually deletd. They sure did on the 9er, but that were the Gold Valve Emulators so maybe different

This is a photo from the ad when I got the bike[attachment=o15612]
[attachment=o15613] Work in progress, The fork tops are standard, managed to free them off but a bit chewed up[attachment=o15613]

The MK1 is nearly complete,
Rear shock overhauled and refitted,
The front forks now rebuilt, all the parts were there, the damper and dip rod had come loose from the top adjuster and dropped down the fork tubes,
Engine fully serviced, oil, filter, plugs air filter,
High power front headlight lamps fitted
All wheel bearings head bearings checked
Just waiting for new foot pegs and a -1 front sprocket then its test ride time

A real kick when everything is back - ooo was it THAT good? ð
New Bike - robatweston - 02-11-2024
Now fully complete and going well, Did about sixty miles today and everything tested/set up.
The brakes are a bit weak so that's the next job.
Found a web site called how many left and it says there are only 35 MK 1 registered in the UK
if correct it also says there are only 4 MK 1 taxed and on the road at the moment, do you all think this is correct
New Bike - dapleb - 02-11-2024
No i doubt it's correct.
I passed one the other day....if it weren't ewe and assuming we are all legal we only have one other person to find.
Also not sure how rare mauve is. Seen loads of em. Looks good in that colour.

Less than a 1000 niners actually on the road now
