No, totally agree Tony I couldn't live with it. If you are interested drop me a PM I'm willing to let it go fairly cheap.......

That's the thing I haven't got the inclination for that if I'm stripping it I might as well do the engine swap..... I'll stick an advert up tomorrow.

It's a bit more than that unfortunately but I'm going to either sell or trade it in next spring anyway and I've got my insurance renewal coming so I might as well cut loses.

But yes if someone was willing to do that then it'll be a very cheap bike

Blimey if that's what that's going for, mine could be worth more than I thought, mine runs fine if you keep the oil topped up and all the fairings would be great with a weekends work

I guess that second one is a pretty good buy

All the motors I've seen are 500 plus? If I could get one cheaper I'd consider the change, but I'm planing on something new for the spring so would prefer to sell it now to someone willing to do the work or break it themselves.

No signs of a leak unfortunately, fairly confident its rings, smokes when under load. Well that's a fair amount more than would accept for it so may stick in the classifieds.

Just out of interest how much am I looking at to have the rings done?

Hi guys, not been around lately work and life has been getting on the way. Had a fair few miles on the bike and have noticed its using a fair amount of oil. Probably rings or stem seals but as I was planning on trading it in, in the spring and with insurance renewal looming I think I'd rather just s...

Have you trapped on of the choke cables?

Cheers Tony, just to clarify, would you agree with what I have written above, I've done the old screw driver to the ear job and nothing sounds amiss with both cylinders sounding very similar.

Cheers

Further to this I haven't had time to look at the bike for a couple of weeks due to uni, but been speaking to a few bike savvy mates today about the problem and they all said along with the vibrating I should also be able to hear the bearings, which I can't! Also the distance I've covered the bearin...

Well I haven't run it low on oil but its a 97 bike and only had it a year so I that doesn't mean anything! The Clutch is fine as far as I'm aware. It is significantly more powerful than before when I had fuelling issues so I'm guessing the increase in power stroke has made the problem noticeable. Th...

Thanks Tony. I think one of things you mentioned when you listened to the sound recording I made previously was the main bearings so I'm not hopeful! Don't know what to do now, might go down the spares or repairs route with it as I only paid a grand for it in total and to get it to the standard I'd ...

Oh joy!
