Not a Happy Bunny

[Burbler]

Bike's blown a big end. Not economic to repair. Spent over £500 on it last Friday...down the drain.

Looking for a new one.

[shiftyblake]

Not the trumpet? Big end thats unusual?

[Last Train]

Kin cheers......

[Trev]

gutting feeling that, spending out on the bike to see it go up in a puff of smoke. Hope you get something sorted

[Caz]

Sad news but you could get something more comfortable now !

[Burbler]

It has been suggested that my coil problem may have started quite a while ago. Causing slight mis-firing, mis-timing and gradually putting unbalanced stresses on the piston, con-rod & big end of #3 pot over a period of time.

Could be right.

[wheelers]

how about an engine swap and part out your old bits to get some money back?

[Vulcanboy]

Sorry to hear of your bike's demise ....

[Wes]

nightmare mate, especially after laying out so much to get it sorted :(

[Burbler]

El wormo is turning.

Sorry Caz - I bought another one. Heart ruled the head. :o

It's a bit tatty, but VERY low mileage. Have SORNed mine, taxed and insured the 'new' one and am in the process of switching best bits from mine. Will change cables and fluids shortly.

Mmmmm, nice warm feeling in the lower regions. Back to annoy you lot interfrastically. :cool:

Friend wants the b*****ed engine to 'play with'. If economical will rebuild it then decide what to do !!!

[Toph]

Great to hear you're mobile again .:)

[Last Train]

Good news Burbler

[BB]

[Wes]

[Wes]

Yellow then :) thought as much

[Burbler]

Changed oil and coolant. Latter looked as if it was sourced from Weston beach when the tide was out.

Cleaned and oiled chain, having removed leaking Scottoiler. Cleaned back wheel.

Removed tatty heated grips and fitted dual-density ones with nice yellow flecks.

Upgraded horn and h/l bulbs lamps.

New clutch cable. B*****d new throttle cable, another en route.

Changed gaudy gold levers to black. Changed seat.

Fitted new plugs & air filter. Fitted new front pads.

We're getting there...next ???

[Last Train]

Good progress mate ��

[Burbler]

Going to see Mr. Morpheus tomorrow. Try to identify the strange noise. :confused: :(

[Burbler]

Morpheus diagnosed an inlet manifold problem in about 2 mins and gave me a little advice. No charge.

Got a new gasket and fitted it today. The one in the bike didn't really exist, just a few threads of nondesript matter.

Sorted, sounds great now. Also fitted new throttle cable while I was in there. Bunny happiness greatly improved.

[Burbler]

First MoT today.

Passed...no advisories.

Whee. Happy as Larry.

[Toph]

Nice one Larry! :)

[BB]

Haven't seen Larry in ages...
