Exup 1000

Had a busy day working on bike today. Started off by collecting a recently purchased headstock stand from Buxton then had to make a pin as the std fitments made the stand hit the underside of the top cowl. Not good!

So far progress has been good. New rear tyre fitted. Float bowls cleaned, new ...

It took about 15 seconds on the button but it fired up and sounded great.
I’ve removed the tank, dropped the bowls off and cleaned them out. I’m just waiting for new bowl gaskets to arrive to be able to reassemble
I’ve ordered a clutch slave rebuild kit too as that has leaked. If the kit doesn’t ...

Fuels looking a bit rough…..

But it lives



First start since 2020

Today’s progress, for the doubters out there it’s not AI generated!

Box is actually empty

BUT, battery is on charge for a first charge when filled

And no, I’ve not found the bike yet. That’s the next task

Hi. Welcome back👍. We’ve been back a few months now. Place is a bit quiet as many folk use FB nowdays, but a lot of the old crowd drop in regularly even if they don’t post much

I’ll have a word with my site assistant to see if it’s possible for individual users to choose between light and dark ...

Last year I was hoping to finally get the bike out but a mixture of family poor health and my son still overtaken the garage, it didn’t happen.
Things are currently stable here at present and I still have my garage back sooooo ...

Happy New Year Karl

Good to see you around the place. What bike do you have now?

The Irwin nut removers are really good. I’ve used them many times on various projects so should do the job

Merry Christmas from all at Exup1000

Hope you all have a good time and break over the festive period

My bike has always had 180/55 on rear. Always handled ok for me so stuck with it
Narrower tyre may help it tip in easier depending on the profile

I personally use an ABBA style stand that I made years ago. This allows both front and rear to be off the ground at the same time if required ( plans available on main site)
Only downside is you can’t remove swingarm but there’s an alternative support point of the footrest hanger bolts if you adapt ...

That’s gotta be a first for the Exup community

That’s absolutely incredible milage. The bike still looks (and I bet sounds) like it just came out the dealers if not better

It’s a credit to you mister

I really like that colour scheme. Only seen 1 in reality
