i am resurecting an old thread, in a months time i will have the dosh together to fix the bike, any help and advice appreciated


The engine will need to be dropped and split and the gears replaced!

Please, please please help me get back on the road!

at a push i am contemplating putting it into a garage to get done, i have no idea how much it will cost, unless some kindly soul can help out! - dosh will be waiting....

you no gonna be cheaper and more easier to just get a replacement engine and jobs done in a day?

fit it yourself mate-its a piece of p*** to do and not worth paying someone else

ive got a haynes manual, but tbh i aint got the tools or the garage! - i wouldnt wanna fire it up without knowing what needs to be checked first! - (stuff the needs to be reset or lined up by default)

saying that the money i save could go towards the mot, service, and fitting of the goodridge brakelines, a new battery & possibly new tyres seeing how its sat for a while and they may have perished a bit (i checked them the other day and the pressure has only went down slightly :)

on the hunt now for a complete engine! - (i heard any engine from k3 onwards will fit a k3 bike ?!?)
