Yea I was always planning to redo the seat cover and never found the need or desire. Old DIY cover kept on keeping on, looks scrappy as hell though. Same for the cam chain. Re-tensioned the semi-auto tensioner and it had some extension left, which has quietened it down a lot.
Spent the last two days doing short 10 mile rides in the locality to make sure nothing falls off. Stress test, etc.
Forgot how easy it is to throw a small lightweight bike around.
Had fun feeling like I was racing, hitting the red line and looking at the speedo...barely going 40!!

Whenever I've done cam chains it's always a bit disappointing that there's still plenty of noise afterwards. Same with the R80, sounds like an industrial sewing machine when the oil's hot but even with the very expensive upgrade there's still plenty of noise from the rest of the engine!
R80 is pushrods but the tappets are there just tapping away.

Needs the seat refreshed for a sale I would say. Would complete the purposeful looks. They all look like they've had a front end shunt in photos!
Cam chain on a 125 single is a nothing job as well. Probably no harder than changing the chain right?
