What have you done to your XS today?

[cycleranger]

Went for about 50 mile ride today.
I think it's been about three months since I had it out.
It started right up with two and half kicks.
Stopped for a burger near the house.

Just beautiful. I love the French Blue C model : )

After a few days away from the bike, a bit more progress today. Stripped the right side switch gear this morning and as expected it was found crusty as a crusty thing. Both the kill switch and the starter button are salvageable though. Had to order a couple of small springs for the kill switch which unfortunately are Chinesium but needs must. Be a few days for them to get here and clear customs so that is holding up further progress on troubleshooting lack of sparks at the plugs. I suppose I could temporarily jumper the kill switch out for testing. I will think about that.

Fitted new rubber isolators to the recently painted footrests and refitted them. Really happy with how they have turned out. Picture -
