FWFKWFKWKWFKKKKKKFFKFKFKFF! About sums it up.
Set off for work this morning, for about 20yards my journey went without a hitch, then I noticed how warm and wet my legs were getting...
Apparently my bike felt like it needed to clean my boots for me and decided the best way to do this would be to shoot coolant out at high power... via the head gasket - Awsome! So stuck with 2 days of commuting via foot-bus-train-foot (takes about 2hours each way) or fix the issue I decided I should attempt to break the world record for swapping an engine...2.0hours it took me to strip the drz back to the point I could take out the knackered engine (as per pic). Then another 1.5 to fit a spare one I had and get it running, then another hour to put back on all the other crap too. Lost half a days work but less than 5hours after having a dead bike I've once again got a living one. So I guess Im fortunate in that sense, and fortunate I had a spare engine even though technically I'd sold the engine yesterday for £500, so this little breakdowns cost me £500 + a mornings work... So far May = Sucks NB: Suzuki are stupid!!! Why pass the engine through the swing arm? I wasnt pleased to have to take the back end apart as well its not previously been an issue but it added nearly 1.5hours to the job... Last edited by Owenski; 04-05-12 at 07:45 AM. |

Crikey Matt. That's good going, plus pretty handy you just had a spare engine lying around. What happens if your house burns down? You just gonna build another one in 5 minutes out of straws and glue? Also, put some enduro tyres on that thing and come greenlaning!!!

You cant greenlane a house...oh wait - i get it.
Oddly enough we're in the process of buying a new build house so technically... we do have a spare house. |
