Still going after 7 Scottish winters & 23000 miles

Title says it all really,just an update from an earlier review,in which I unjustly criticised this little bike.Owned from new,and had it for 7 years now.It was carelessly assembled by a factory worker who clearly didn't give a sh*t,causing 2 wiring shorts and breakdowns about a year after I bought it,but after getting the wiring loom properly routed it hasn't gone wrong. I thought the piston rings were wearing recently,until I replaced the air filter (I know,should have done it much sooner)and cleaned out the breather.Now pulling much better,and still delivering about 120 mpg. I put off doing the valve clearances for a long time because I didn't want to break into all the plastic covering,but it's actually very easy to do.The rear brake linkage is very prone to rusting and seizing,but again,easy to clean up and lube. You can quite easily do all your own servicing on this bike,even without much mechanical knowledge,just keep on top of the oil changes and the general condition of the chain ( also very easy to replace)
Tip- if you change the oil whenever you service the chain you will get much longer life out of the engine. I'm going to keep mine for another 7 years and much more mileage.
