For the most part, the Sporty is done.. I've ridden it over a hundred miles now, even had the opportunity to indulge in a joy ride.. not just another test ride.
It runs pretty strong but still tweaking the carb a bit trying to get a more stable idle.. all the electrics work great. Can't seem to fix the oil leak at the transmission drain plug and the rear tire bounces pretty badly on the road. I can see it's out of round but have as of yet to get into serious diagnostics. I laced both wheels.. my first time for that so that may be an issue bit I still think that cheapo Dunlop tire may be playing a part in it.
Of course the oil light comes on at idle when warm.. better since changing to straight 50w oil but still there. From what I've read, that may just be the nature of the beast. Since they have roller bearings they really don't build oil pressure to speak of so I'm not overly concerned at this point.
Cooler weather has set in so I let it join the rest in the motorcycle shed for awhile.. still tinkering with my buddies old 75 Sporty now and then as he has decided to try to revive it after 10-15 years of sitting so still lots to do.
