Hi im a new member from England. I have had my C95 since 1986 and have just rebuilt it with new piston rings i picked up on ebay. I have been on the look out for a manual and found one through this site.
Well that was the good news. Having read the manual i have just discovered that I have put in the top and second rings the wrong way!!!!!!!.
Thought you guys may enjoy tha laugh at that.
Guess ive got a busy day in the garage ahead.

Anyway all back together now and starting first kick or push of the button.
Welcome Nige, tidy looking bike with modified chain guard.
Looking at your mirrors in the picture, are you expecting to be attacked from above
Where in the UK are you ? a place where stone is plentyfull I guess.

I guess you guys have an annual safety inspection, in England its called the MOT. My last one on the C95 was 9 years ago so after rebuilding the engine with its new rings I decided it was time to get back on the road.
I dont know about you guys but the morning of the test is generally an opportunity for the bike to play up. No exception yesterday.
It fired up nice and ticked over lovely so i rode it round the block, running sweet but no power! No time to spare so i set off for the test centre hoping it will clear but it didnt, 30 flat all the way. So i leave it for the test and go for a coffee and start thinking perhaps it was only on one cylinder.
When I go back its ticking over and the tester says its all legal but has fuel coming out the left pipe so I pull the plug cap and no difference. We check his plug rack and nothing to fit but he goes out the back and pulls out a box with a thick layer of dust on it with a stack of D8HA plugs in it. I put one in and fire it up and its back to normal. So the tester passes it and at £1 each i buy a pocket full of spare plugs.
Great to be back on the road again. Just need it to stop raining.
