Yey my bike works! finally + photos

[simon1221]

Since i brought my tzr a week before xmas, i have had to do the following things:

change brake fluid
change brake pads (front)
change gearbox oil
change taillight
new indicator bulb
change airfilter
fix various wiring problems
add a fuse (didnt have one!)
fixed the ability to start the bike without the key
changed mixture settings
top up battery water
oil various components, mainly throttle grip and divider box thingy

and i still have to:

change lhs switchgear (broken at the bottom)



I suppose that is what you get for a 14 year old 125 (10 owners!) that has probably never been serviced in the past 5 years, the only thing i noticed when i brought it was the electrics and the indicator bulb

So I am happy that my bike is finally working properly!

are you going to get it serviced? just in case? lol

nice work

[Frost]

Service? Don't talk wet!

Sounds to me like he has inherited someone elses neglect caused problems and has done a great deal to overcome them.
Glad to hear you've sorted out so much and that its ready to go!

i will be doing that tomorrow (oiling speedo cable),

ive been in my garage totalling about 20 hours or more fixing these things in the cold

I put redex in it cos i heard it was good for older bikes, expecially 2strokes, am i right? or not?

ive done all of the things in all service parts of the haynes manual, and i cannot think of anything else to do apart from stripping the engine, which i am not going to do unless it needs to be done

photos:

be aware that due to the cheapness of the camera, the blue looks lighter than it actually is

however this 1st photo is quite blurred, so i took some more as well

Curse of the white wheels!!

If you want to keep them sparkly, you are going to be spending a long time with a toothbrush I know, I did with my NSR.

At least all the problems you had to resolve were relatively minor ones, and you are now able to get on the road and ride.
Well done for getting it all sorted All you have to do is maintain it and look after her.

i would rather get some stickers to liven it up a bit, like a tzr and a ypvs stickers for the rear tail fairing bit and possibly something else, what do you think?

How have you managed that? lied about your age?

[Ste]

I wouldn't worry about lieing to eBay about your age, they don't want proof and they can't check.

[haGGard]

I dont actually ever remember giving my age But i must have given it. I usually just say i was born in 1980 to most things that i sign up to...
