Happy Christmas. If you can get her going, that is a lot of bike for £500.  Looking forward to pics for here and the web site. |

The only time one failed on me was when the hall effect sensor died and it wouldn't fire. I got a s/h unit from Motor Works ( www.motorworks.co.uk)and it went straight up. Have a look here for details of repair: www.ebbo.org/2av54.php. Servicing is very straightforward. Other than having to remove the fairing sides to get into things, it's all easy to get to. Good luck fixing it and enjoy! |

Oooh! Goodie!! I like the idea of one of those for £500. I had a look at reviews online when you posted up that you had bought it. What is the mileage and history?
Sure you will get it fired up, can't be a fatal problem. Let us know what happens. Rod

Frame corrosion can be a problem, but doesn't look too bad behind the missing panel. I think the seat is an aftermarket Corbin - not cheap and might be worth getting re-covered. They're meant to be a big improvement on the standard one. |
