How heavy is an H2c?

Post by Bic_Bicknell »

Heavy enough when you have to push it for five miles in the sun! :D

Went onto reserve, headed for the nearest filling station. Got there it was shut. Set off again and ran out in the middle of nowhere. Pushed to next village and in desperation stopped at a second hand car showroom and went in begging. Turns out head guy used to have an RD400 back in the day so had a good blather, cup of tea and a few litres of petrol to get me to the nearest garage.

Happy days.

next time...
take a look in the tank, oh look petrol!!!

put the tap onto prime and lean the bike at 45 degrees towards the petrol tap.
put it back to reserve, you should have now filled the carbs with fuel, fire it up and take a very steady ride, while on the move viciously shake the bike from side to side, the slower you go the easier this is, this is to slosh the remaining petrol into the carbs, it might only get you a mile or 2 but it's better than pushing

works on a 500 as well, ran out and managed to get the 1.5 miles to the petrol station using this method :D

Doesn't matter how full the tank is when it says "bang"... although preferably emptier rather than fuller...
