1st mot which wasnt a prob, asked about loose wheel tyre changes with the folding stuff and it was £20. I thought thats good, same as the place before i moved but it was EACH ! The place is only a 1/2 man band, that must equate to £40 ph. What do you pay for tyre changes in yr areas?
Sigh of relief. Yes it was on e bay , as soon as I saw it I contacted him (Monday 22nd) saying I would pay opening price , and to my surprise he agreed. It is truly as new , willn fit it tomorrow. eaceful:
I know mate. It's a bloody joke. Out of the 8 months Iv owned it, it's been in the dealers for repair for over 4 of them. Oil started to leak whilst I was running the new engine in from the sump plug. Though it was a faulty sump plug washer. Just had its first service. Took it for a spin and its started to leak from the same place again. A new sump pan has now been ordered ready to be fitted next week.
Tbh, I'm going to get out of the bike and buy a 2012 model. I'm sure the one Iv currently got is jinxed lol
after a weekend of of stripping the bike down i found that alot of my bolts were rusted to fuk, so whilst putting on my new full system i also changed the header bolts got a new rad bracket and bolt, new race air filter, and after lobbing the stock zorst had a bit of clean up
thanks to matt aka flower power for the system pcv and auto tune, fook me its the dogs!!!
Virtually everything is rusting on mine, brembo discs, chain, rear footrest bolts, exhaust and I keep it pretty clean. What really pi55es me off if the corrosion on the brake pipe fittings, my old gixer did 2 full winters including snow and was in better nick after 2.5 yrs than the Beemer is after 6 months of limited use.
