[Honda-C70] bike looks new

 

Had new petrol tank, side covers, front and rear shock covers, pet cock, new seat.

People often ask me if I have bought another bike, but its the same one, changed from all white to all black.

New seat is very soft and absorbs a lot of shocks, unlike the old one which was hard as a log.

The new petrol tank holds close to 8 l as opposed to 6 of old tank. Had to get some alterations to get everything fit.

Engine compression, as judged from kick starter resistance, is lower with 20W50 as compared to 20W60 oil. Maybe the minute of running with petrol in sump, at oil change time, might have lowered compression also, maybe, at least that is what mechanics tell me.

Weather is becoming cloudy, with rains in future.
