Mini update
The tyres were at around 25psi, so I let them down to 20 all round.
Also checked nut torque and tried fitting caps, got 2 on and 2 were proving difficult so I'll come back to them.
I've also been looking at replacing my knob.
Here's the 'as bought'
The wood is ok, but not the vibe I'm after.
The previous owner had seen fit to glue this on... So the threads were full of hard glue
I spent about 10 mins trying to scrape it out then gave up and bought a die nut.
And here's the new one
That's a genuine little Honda piston from my C50 twiddling days, with a 3D printed adaptor for a 17mm internal hex (M10 nut) to 13mm gudgeon pin. Then a pair of M10x1.25 nuts glued into the hole.
I want to check the alignment and still need to sort out the cold start. Then use as much as I can before a certain weekend in May...
