Thanks for the techie advice GT - much appreciated.

I'm fairly confident the battery is fine. It always starts bang on, and has been in a temperature/humidity controlled garage with a Roller (local millionaires not mine), so corrosion on chain/sprokets and the tyres perishing shouldn't be an issue.

Had figured an oil change would be in order, and will need to investigate the gummed up carbs issue you've raised. Haven't had cause to tinker with them yet - could be interesting. Any pointers?

Also, any idea what it'll cost be to get the belts changed - bearing in mind my nearest bona fide Duc dealership is in Glasgow 4 & 1/2 hrs ride from where the bike is - worth getting a local bloke to do it?

Thanks too for the welcome Ped. Once i'm all present & correct I hope to meet up with you folks soon!

Thanks again both.
