Picked it up at a steal as it was running like a bag of hammers. felt a bit guilty as I knew what it was and the bloke had no clue and was at his wits end. Cost £12 to sort out :tongue:

Wrong time of year to buy mate, saying that there are some bargains around as people are cutting back, and selling up. I'm not a fan of fleabay but there are some bargains around. This one didn't sell and I made an offer to save it being relisted.

 

This ones going back to good o'l Ninja Green:hyper:

I am in no rush to buy, looking for a red one like I had 10 years ago, been on GSXRs since then and going back to my roots.

Which GSXR you got, last one I had was the 750 WN bit of a porker but it had a 916 back end...looked the muts nuts

had a 750WX, 750K1 and 750K4 plus a 916 and an RSV in between that lot.

Switched to a couple of nice twins there......I looked at an RSV R last year. You can pick an early one of those up for a couple of grand

boon looking into my bike licence for a while now. maybe 1 day:(. but im curious as to what the problum was that you fixed for £12 :)

 

The bike was running on 2 cylinders and it had a nasty rattle from the top end.

 

A bit of detective work over the phone discovered that a mate of his had fitted a new throttle cable.

 

When I looked at it he had nipped a fuel line between the carb and frame starving two carbs of fuel. This was sorted with nothing more than a pair of pliers.

 

The rattle was a cam chain tensioner (noted for going wrong on these) £12 of fleaby. Dropped the carbs off fitted the new one, and fanny's your aunt. Runs like a dream :hyper:
