    Oh bummer!!! Sounds like a CDI. Look on e-bay. I got one on there for £40.

    Just think of the money it would cost you in a dealer and the satifaction of riding a bike you know is good!

    Yea that's the only thing that's keepin me going tbh if I got it done in a garage I may as well have scrfapped the bike and got a new one for the ammount it would have cost me, still doesn't change the fact that I've now spent the best part of a grand sorting it out but just thinkin about getting back out on the road with it gets me excited so... cat be too bad eh

    A good education isn't free! It's hard to see past the situation you're in when you're still in it, but when it's done you'll be dead chuffed with yourself.

    And as you say, it's way cheaper then just handing it over to a workshop.

    And the weather's not to enticing right now, so it's not like you're missing the summer.

    Have you put a drizzle of oil in the bore?? Do that before starting.

    I'd also push it up and down the road a few times in gear with the plug out to get oil round the engine and gearbox.
