Default Re: Your Dumbest Bike Maintenance Moment

Now where do I start...
1, had a cb1-400 import for a little while and the reg/rec went on me so I had to bump start everytime as it wouldnt charge. Fairly easy bike to bump start except for one time, was outside work and spent a good five minutes pushing the bloody thing up and down the road trying to bump it only to realise that I hadn't turned the ignition on at all.

2, just fitted new chain and sprockets after mine snapped after much swearing got it all fitted and decided to take it out for a quick spin. Got to the end of my road just about to turn out of the junction and the bike dies and I fall over with it, my feet still on the pegs. I'd managed to cut through the sidestand cut off switch wires with the chain.

3, fitting an undertay the sv I need to give it a bit of a push from the back, too much of a push and now it's laying on it's side on the gravel drive.
