that is the front 14 tooth sprocket with 9 teeth missing
so i had it in the garage for both sprokets and chain where i was told it needed a new carb so 250 squide later im back on the road with no regrets of getting the bike i always wanted.

2 months pass still loving having my new bike even though its mpg was burning a big ass hole in my wallet .one sunday i went out for a ride as i always did stoped at the pub on way home with some friends for dinner come out right hand middle pannel pannel is snapped and fuel cap cover was ripped of so pissed of i went to start it starts up fine in a bad temper i bang it into gear crack no gears get recoved back home. next morning take it apart and find this

Yea im going to get it in the garage soon to find out why. But its probley just the fact the last owner put a sports exhaust on and a 21mm carb it over revs to much i think and i dont have a rev counter :/

[N cee thirty]

so it's running lean as fuck

rejet the carb properly and fit a new topend

No jetting was fine as i had that done as well lol

[woll]

The problem is.... it's a senda.
I had the senda x-treme 50. Biggest pile of toss going, and the biggest waste of 2k. I had nothing but problems with it, and I bought it brand new and rode it sensibly. Engine blew up dramatically after 2500 miles because the thermostat wasn't opening and the temp light didn't work.
Wheels bearings went several times.
Plastics were shockingly shit, broke several times.
Brakes used to seize all the time.
All in all... Good luck!

Here are your problems.

1. You had a v clic. Awful slow peds.

2. You got a senda. So unreliable they make alfas look like a "good all rounder family car"

3. Get a 4t 125 that will keep running unless you set it on fire. (it will probably still run)

[jake-the-snake]

Lol yea i knew they were unreliable just thought it would be drive if i rode carefully but oh well lol. Yea im think 125 senda next

[L-Jam]

[quote]Yea im think 125 senda next [/quote="jakedasnake"]

LMAO! You are a hero if you buy one of those after that experience.

On a lesser note, how do you ride a motorcycle if you're a snake? :s

Nothing wrong with the water cooled 4T engine in the 125 Senda. I had it in the Terra and I wasn't particularly sympathetic yet it never missed a beat for 2 years.

Edit: I suppose it might be the air-cooled 125 in the Senda, in which case... Nothing wrong with the air cooled 4T engine in the 125 Senda. Jodie had it in the Cross City and she wasn't particularly sympathetic yet it never missed a beat for 2 years.

Light motorcycle test*

[dextersaurus]

The A2, you're restricted to 33bhp. better off getting a 400 if you're after that style of bike.

Dunc

[jake-the-snake]

400s are more than 33bhp dont know about the news ones but the old drz45 is 44 bhp or around about that
