My death trap :(

[Daniel.p]

Got the bike home after another few days getting the cam chain done guy said its a death trap heres the list

Needs new front disks
New steering bearings
New wiring loom
New chain and sprockets
New tires
New clocks
And on the way home my speedo cable snapped

Im trying my hardest to get these all done but im 18 so funding is terrible! But i wont give up on this bike itll be 100% after my 2 years of having it!

Would that be the same guy that you were condeming a few days back ?


Discs, steering head bearings,chain,sprockets and tyres are all service items that wear and need checking on a regular basis all easy to check all easy to fix and all did not suddenly become worn and a death trap in one day more like poor maintainance over a period of say 2 years ?


I'm not entirely sure why you would need new clocks unless there has been accident damage ?

And I'd only think you'd need a new loom after some idiot has been messing with it or again possibly accident damage ?

Yeh its accident damage iv had it 3 months so iv done alot of maintenance cleaned it up the chain was oiless dirt was everywhere, new coils tryed to make the wiring a little safer cleaned carbs balanced them oil change/filter change new brake fluid new tank cleaned the sub frame new front mudgaurd im not a lazy man i just work at mcdonalds so 4.99 an hour well you can imagine.

He did an mot on it while doing the cam chain or something?

All very easy fixes and cheaper if u do it yourself!

[Daniel.p]

He only said the bearing iv found out about everything else on my own and iv done all the work myself apart from cam chain as 1 mistake could leave me screwed

Speedo cable prob broke as result of your accident.....................might just have one somewhere.

And maybe just maybe I've got a speedo too

I might have an old set of tyres that would be legal and get your through you MOT.

I'll have a look see

My mot aint till sept and my speedo is fine its all the clocks they were crushed and the lights display plastic is gone, it defo the speedo cable its the original from 1993 lol so its was due to die anyways but thankyou all for the help davw has offered me all the parts i need for £100 which is amazing just got to win on a few scratch cards now

[cargo]

or just stop buying scratch cards and save the money.

For the record

I have a full set of clocks revs counter,temp and speedo also I have speedo cable.
Also a front tyre

[Daniel.p]

I was joking about the cards btw mate and umm are they for sale and if so how much for the lot

[cargo]

I'm not going to get into a price war with Davew I know him and hes got in first with a decent price..................................I'd take his offer if I was you


Start saving your pennies

[Daniel.p]

No no lol he doesnt have clocks buddy

the speedo cable can also break if its not oiled. Tends to snap internally at the speedo drive end.
