OK... that's me back in the land of the living and my New Year resolution is to keep out of technical threads when out my tree... I may be of some use in the lounge though.. :lol:
Anyway, TY Mr Meat for providing a great answer to my delimiting question!
Sorry for not being able give any sense to the speedo questions as I had lost the plot.
Let me give you my tupence worth now:
When I bought my R, it came with a box of goodies, receipts etc and the original Jap speedo dial which was in KPH only and went up to 180. Previous UK owner just changed the dial to an MPH dial that only goes to 110MPH rather than keeping the Jap dial and fit the de-limiter mod. So, if you have a dial marked in MPH that goes to 110 then it's an after market one.
With regards to the motor, the first thing I done when I bought the R was to give the car a full service. I stuck it into Falkland performance for the work and had ALL fluids changed, every hose checked, all bushes checked, new disks and pads etc.
I feel that it's now quite safe to drive in anger but would like to know what speed I'm doing.
I will at some point stick it on a rolling road and intend to eke (gain) the full potential out of this car by adding performace goodies as time and money allows.
