Default Can you help me fix a bike???

Hi there, as some of you will know I run The Bike Experience, which is a charity that helps teach disabled motorcyclists how they can ride again. We have had received a high number of applications to attend, so need to double up on the days. The GSXR600 proved a bit difficult as the bars are so low, which meant a lot of weight being put on wrists (as all riders so far are paralysed). Therefore I have got hold of a 1999 SV650, which is a bit more sat up. However, it needs a basic service, change of oil,plugs etc. I have done the air filter, but as I paralysed too, I can only use one hand to operate whilst the other steadies me. Is there anyone in the Bath area that has good mechanical knowledge to help me get the bike sorted. We are also going to put on the Kliktronic gear shifter. I have my other SV650 with the gear shifter fitted, sat next to it, so we are going to copy across the wiring set up. I would use a mechanic, but I have no money, the main sponsor for the charity pulled out a week before the first rider came, and I am bank-rolling the entire project. I don't earn any money and am living off my disability benefit, so that's about £400 a month. As you can see, I'm not a wealthy man! I would really appreciate your help, to come down for a day's work on the bike. I can make decent coffee and supply decent biscuits. Can you email me on tskeelspiggins@hotmail.com. Cheers. Talan

Talan, I'm a poor mechanic but happy to help in other ways. I'll send you a mail.

We are in Weston and are happy to help out. Used to playing with Pointies, but how much difference does it make really? Anyway, if you need a hand and I can help, I am happy to do so. I also make good tea!

Cheers,

Jayne
