Hey guys

My NSR is done, been out and in garages for a while just payed another £60 to attempt to fix a crack in the crank and fit new seals but to no avail if anything it's worse.

Really won't start although it will from a bump atm. Cuts out while im riding it now ( didn't do that before only when idling )

So I've gave up all hope!

So how do i make some if any money back from the £1550 i've spent on total on the bike (550 being repairs)

Now on ebay https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=130250636167

Oh and i also failed my test today because just as i started a u-turn a car came and had to slow right down for me Sad (only got 1 minor apart from that)

So can't ride my lovely SV in the garage.

I'll try breaking what i can i suppose and put it on eBay i guess

Yea thats the problem i think mate, it's not building pressure.

he first said this and it was drawing in too much air so i got a new gasket from thr carb to the manifold as the old one did have a small rip - that made no difference though.

So now he said he mixed a 2 part liquid that forms a solid like metal to fill the crack in the crank. But it just doesn't want to play ball and although i don't think i'll get much at all from breaking it's the only way i'll get a penny from it.

Either that or get like £10 from a scrappy lol. Rolling Eyes

Yea, the acution is going good.

I've got 50! People watching it lol

But i've been offered £550 by 2 people and one may be comming tomorrow to buy it.

Do you think with 50 people watching 1day left and at £360 i would get over £550?

Take the £550 IMO. Ebay can be a funny old beast. It may go up, ,or it may just sit there at £360, it's a risk you'll have to take.
