Re: Disaster!
Simple logic, oil is here... needs to be here... Pipe follows direct route!

Re: Disaster!
Markings on plates? You say it's only 1000 mile old, who fitted it?

Re: Disaster!
While I'm not for slandering on the net without experience of my own, suffice to say he does not have the best of reputations.
Added to the fact that when I first worked on your bike there were several stripped threads, and the airbox was not attatched to one of the carbs... It may be worth a try giving him a call, however I would not bank on the chain being a new one, or getting any manner of free replacement.

Re: Disaster!
Just got off the phone to him.
iris chain. he suggested it may be badly adjusted and if i wanted something sorting out to pop downa nd see him. tbh im cutting my losses as ive got a new chain on the way. He said it was very unusual and had not heard of one of them going before. to be fair he was very nice about it. Ill try iris and see what they say. |
