When you swapped the flywheels did you use the same bearing or did you use 2 different ones?

Other than that I'm not sure what is causing your issues...... :confused

i tried every flywheel with evert bearing. just fitted another new relay as i thought i was dropping volts on it but it make no difference.. im afraid the bike wins and shes parked. a little to much money spent on it for no result.... :eek2

Oh Gawd! Vara's right! you can't just chuck in the Towel . Take it to a shop and if you've even got to spend £200 that's a shed load less loss than selling for £600

I must admit. |I did worry you might have taken a few short cuts (like the chain seals) and had missed something. :wink:
So glad you stuck with it :thumbup:

Well Done!

not sure i'm going to have the same problem in the future, as quite often my bike will cut out, due to a carb fat or when it's warming up, then when I go to restart it, nothing happens, there's a small noise of sorts, but it seems to start on the second try. i've been keeping my eye on it for a year now, and it doesn't seem to getting worse, so I just put up with it.
really glad to hear you got it sorted Fabio........ :thumbup:
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
