Time for a new thermostat and seal, valve adjustment and oil/filter change.
The Interceptor is pretty easy and rewarding to tune.
Happy my Nephew came for some extended visits last year and put a couple thousand miles on his Dad’s favorite motorcycle.
It got vey hot a couple times he told me, he also noticed it dropped temperature quickly after hitting a big bump. Old Thermostat has enough gunk buildup that I hope this cures that issue-
Glad to discover that I’d bought extra gaskets and oil filters so I can complete all the work without ordering anything.
This bike was my older brother’s pride and joy even though he hadn’t ridden it for several years before he passed.
He would have been 76 on the 29th, hard to believe he’s been gone for almost 6 years.
Working on it this close to his birthday seems right now. Trying to keep it in top shape is time well spent.
