Caliper is healthy enough it's the fact that the brake hose is original from 1992. Fresh fluid made it marginally better but it needs a braided line on it.

I shall report back, we are supposed to be going on a bit of a ride later....it may be a very late reporting depending on how far we have to push it

yorkie_chris · 20-01-10, 06:18 PM

Well its charging system's given up the ghost overnight!

Boooo! get it sorted, and post some pic's of your Ol' Beast...!

I has seen it, it was revealed this afternoon.

It was rather amusing watching Peg giving YC a push to bump it, and failing miserably!

Good job this mechanic carries a charged jump pack then

And to be fair to the beat up thing.....its far prettier than his SV rat

Hehe it rattles to fook and makes 40mph seem like 80 (to me) for all its loudness, oh and the suspension breaks your back over bumps...I like it! And if I was already on my 125 I'd happily step up and use it as my mule stepping stone before an SV

yorkie_chris · 20-01-10, 08:43 PM

Well the alternator is completely open circuit putting out no voltage. Bugger.

dizzyblonde · 20-01-10, 08:45 PM

you're the Y of the C....fix it

yorkie_chris · 20-01-10, 08:48 PM

yeahyeah. f'in krapasaki POSs going in the canal.

yorkie_chris · 20-01-10, 09:25 PM

Hmmm canal is looking closer.

Diagnosis: Complete and catastrophic failure of the charging system.
