I am planning a solo trip using the Spain / Morocco / Algeria / Tunisia / Egypt route, hoping to leave in Spring 2003. My bike is a 1990 3AJ with 34,000 miles. I bought it 6 months ago with 22,000 miles, and have had no problems. However I suspect the selector drum is now worn (jumps out of gear sometimes, especially off-road or loaded up). I have several questions:
With steady throttle round London I am getting around 220 miles per tank - (29l?). Due to my in-line fuel filters the reserve does not work. Is this normal? I think I shouldbe able to go further, after Chris Scott's writing...
I will post more about my trip, but I would also very much like to meet other owners of the same bike in Southern England. We have enough people for a regional meet, to discuss our bikes, our plans, and help each other out.
BTW - I also have another 3AJ, broken for spares. The engine is not available, but some other parts are (shock, swinarm, forks, tank, bodywork, switches etc), so drop me a line if you think I can help out.
Cheers. I am very glad to have finally found the famous XT forum - everyone has told me about it!
