RAC - Second Recovery a few days later?

[TheDonUK]

Hi all,

My chain snapped on the pentonville road this evening, by the time the flatbed arrived (2 hours later) the best option was to have it and me taken home.

I need to get it transported from west london to east where my chain and sprocket set awaits, anyone know if they would transport the bike again for the same reason or would i have to tell porkie pies?

Cheers

RAC's T&C's: State they do not cover "A second assistance if the original fault has not been properly repaired by a third party or if We
have advised You that it is a temporary repair."

Take the battery out. Call RAC... "Wont start"

Also, they won't attend a call out within a few hundred metres of your house, unless you have the home-start option. So, you would probably have to push it pretty far down road before you call them...

Now, how do they know it's the same chain that snapped? You just put on a spare chain you had right, been riding around fine this last couple of days. But it seems like you spare is bit duff too...

remove/cut the live ignition feed to your CDI somewhere deep in the loom. your bike won't run and they won't be able to fix it.


There will be no other damage, but they'll transport it

Why don't you wheel the bike over to Shepherd's Bush instead and get your C&S fitted there? Reg Orpin perhaps?

Swap the plug caps over so it won't start, and refuse the recovery guy to work on it, because you only trust *insert brand name here* to work on it.

Or remove the front sprocket, replace the casing, then say you was riding along and it suddenly lost drive. Ad you think it might be the clutch or gearbox. They will just load it onto the truck and tack you home. It worked for me until I found out the would only take me 11miles, so had to push it to my mates house.

Cheeky bugger fixed it, switched plates and was riding my GT650r on his GT125r plates for a week.

Simply unplug ecu.

Say you were riding, the light came on and you pulled over. It stopped.

Wai, wai, wai wait.

Isn't the bike still without a chain? A missing chain for which the RAC were called out for a few days earlier.

I am fairly sure they could diagnose a missing chain quite quickly should they be called out again.

His split link that he used to fix the chain has now broken as the bike had too much power...

Call them see what they say, they have often recovered me more then once for the same fault

Personally I wouldn't risk calling out RAC so close, the only reason I'm saying this is you only get 3 pick ups a year. If you go over that then you have to pay for more.
