2025 Honda Click Superleggera!




Don't try that at home kids.

I'm actually astounded at how well she runs.

Better sort out the brake situation.

I suppose.


But first better get her dressed and see if the lights n indicators work.

Also the 'e' is short, like in Ed and Ferrari, not like 'air'.
In case you find yourself mixing with some Ferrari people.

For another hundred he'd probably have sorted the brakes too. They are quite important to get right.

I was doing me Jeremy Clarkson imperso.

Getting the farings back on is a bit trickier than expected.


I'll make a note of what screws go where and which pieces go on in which order next time.


So now.

None of the front lights or indicators work.

the only thing that works on the dash is the high beams light which is on all of the time no matter what is done with the switches.


The back lights and brake lights work as normal.

Starts via starter button first time, so battery seems okay.


Probably/possibly fuses?

Any other ideas?

Cheers chaps/chapettes.

The state of her.

But hey, she runs, she's clean, there was a mouse nest in her this time last week FFS.








Ol' Matey comes out and we have a good ol' chat about life, the area, motorbikes. Really nice down-to-Earth chatty guy, possibly of a Tomcat persuasion. There's nothing wrong with it.

Are you a homophobe?AND a whacko?

But no indicators.


Bit by bit.

LOL, did you try slowing rubbing an ice cube around their edge?

You only need this if you are going to sell it for profit? Otherwise it is just chump change. You could probably have bought a runner for 10,000.

Hahaha. Well you did say you wanted to learn? Check the holes. Some will have actual threads for stepped bolts , some just distorted clips for self tapping screws.

Why not get Somchai to look at the half-revving problem ? He fixes stuff like this every day and knows this individual model of bike, whereas we are just taking stabs in the dark.

He’s not. No one talks like that. And you’re naive to think either is remotely true.

are you saying he's a bit sus?

Lulu would make a good ventriloquist.

As for a property developer and landlord...

She struggles to start from the starter button when cold, no matter how much I whisper sweet nothings into her intake box and gently caress her nape..

The battery power is strong, and will strongly chug along, but she won't fully turn over after not running for half a day or so.

The kick starter will start her. After that, the starter button will start her again.

Is there a reason for this? For the starter button not starting her if she hasn't been running in say, 12 hours or so?

Cheers.

Don't forget to factor in several days of lost earnings while you were doing this 'restoration'.

... oh, on second thoughts maybe not.
