Shocked!

So just a week ago, I had a container land in Nottingham containing a lovely KH400 that I have owned for a few Years, when I bought the KH I thought the crank was rumbling, not wanting to sell a 'lemon" I asked Clarkey if he could do the crank, not only that but as I am in exile, could he actually pull the motor and do it for me?
.
Well, the bike was delivered to Gary on Tuesday afternoon, Thursday he calls me and tells me that he has not only stripped it and rebuilt the crank but he also rebuilt the carbs! :shock: What an absolute STAR!!! To most people it would be impressive, but to someone that is 3,500 miles away in exile I am over the moon! - To cap it all he has just taken it for an M.O.T.. . . . which at 2,000 mies from New it has sailed through! Thumbs Up - My sincere thanks Gaz!!!

I'm sorry but I STILL think the S3 is the best "all round" triple, I love riding all of mine, they tick all the boxes, maybe not too excess but they handle reasonably well, perform so,so, and bring a smile to my face every time I ride One - I'm already regretting selling Al this One: :?

I find them a bit slow.
And an S3 is a far better looking bike than a KH Thumbs Up

I have to agree, And if you do want it to go faster than an H2 give it Mick Abbey, I rode Higgsies H2 look alike S2-400 last year, fucking hell was an understatement!!!!! that was a pure adrenaline rush

Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

One of our club members has just picked up a new H2. That might be a bit rapid when it's run in. 8 month wait.
