My M750 hates me.

[PabloM750]

Hi all.   Please only read if bored..I tend to ramble in my old age.                                                48 hours of oddity , fire old M750 with many ks. It's missing bad in one cylinder , odd flame, i think maybe fuel, bad plug, coil..anyway thinking the worst..even thinking to move up the 900ss motor a new months..take round the block with it poppin then pulling, just as I get home from my blast it comes good. Ok..sleep on it before this mornings commute. Hit the button this am 30 mins late so knowing is a rule breaking gp style qualified run on freeway followed by some nice corners, then boring ..then narrow 2 lane insanity. Warm up..kiss the dog, hug the mrs, little blast up the street aim for freeway entrance , lean in hard right and nail it...100 pulling 130 nice clear merge. Just settling..and ....................................

Front cheap ass china brake lever locks up front wheel! Fast as he'll I can feel the G's forcing my fat ass forward hard....aim for the emergency lane...better superman there than middle lane with the drunk fruit truck driver behind.   Coast into lane with rear wheel floating and landed it like some dude from south central on his gixer 7fiddy  from utube . Who ever seen must have had heart failure...turns out the small wire clip was hitting the original base allowing the screw to wind in so hard brake compressed from sudden vibration. 

Cursed..I think is time for a full service lube clean tightening session.

Please if you have levers from the orient , check em real well.

I can't say was skill as have had a few offs in my time. But through it all I remember like a flash back what my good mate at Honda has taught me over many years.. Please if your rusty, get some training from the masters..could save your life tomorrow.

We had intermittent ignition problems with the M600. It would "fix itself" then occasionally drop a cylinder or not start. The problem turned out to be a faulty ignition pickup which eventually failed completely. Brad Black did the repair. The ignition pickup is inside the engine case and connections are soldered.

~Fairly standard problems with my M750 (PUTANA) she got that name for good reason!! 

Ignition pickups?? Normal occurrence apparently! Got mine fixed at "Small Coil Rewinds"down Geelong way.

Use ONLY standard fuel otherwise it'll shit plugs and run like a bucket of crap!!

I use the Platinum plugs which last MUCH longer than the standard large electrode ones!! Which trades off the higher price! (Dont spend too much time on choke if you dont want them to foul up)

She is a pregnant dog but I ride her a lot more than my 1000DS. Its bare bones with bugger all adjustable but I love her!! 96,000k and going strong!!
