The one I took off was the 28yo original chain... Sprockets still good.

You can definitely tell that the climate is kind there, reckon my garage sees more moisture than your state I imagine!

Noticed that the ends of the exhaust is taking on a nice rainbow effect... probably something to do with the running two tanks of the good stuff through it...

Those stock cans get very hot after a good thrash.

Not sure about "a good trash", but it took me an hour flat from the house to the RockStore which was 81 miles on the route I took this time 8-)

and that included getting stuck behind a CHP cruiser conducting a rolling roadblock for about 4 or miles which added several minutes to the time. :thumbdown:

ZX11 won't start... not so much as a pop as if it was trying. Gas in the carbs probably evaporated & gummed the buggers up... but can't hear the fuel pump do it's thing... It's been parked since June.
Supposed to ride it on Sunday.

Gummed up pilot jets normally, I ended up replacing mine
I googled the spec and they were £25 for 4.

I had already used a ultrasound cleaner on them
I'd tried carb cleaner , much stronger than suggested but that didn't work either
