Trying to get a manual for one of these bikes
Looking at buying one Saturday as a deal fell though on the NSR.
Anyone got any advice to check.
Not much on Google

Check the HT cap for cracks. It was the only failure I had during my ownership of one. Great bike.

do you guys know of any faults with the electric system this one has all the lights on the dash are illuminated and dont come off, everything works fine ,
like lights and indicators but are permanently illuminating,
can see this getting quite annoying, or maybe be quite dangerous with not knowing ive left the indicators on,

a habit im trying to get out of , atm...

suppose it would be a earth issue?( not been playing with bikes long)

[SQL]

Mine was fine with electrics, check earth points, also check around the headstock for frayed wires

[Nexus Icon]

Yeah, no electrical problems here either. Do as SQL says really.

as for the indicators, when ever you change gear press the indicator button works for me.

New bike
900 pounds , bike rides beautifully compared to YBR.
Brakes are spot on

Only problem is lights on dash ,and line crack in fairing.
Odometers reset itself also when previous owner changed battery ,dash lights came on at same time.

No fuel gauge though, all digital thought it may have showed one..

[SQL]

looks great if one came up cheap i'd have one

Check the dash connector for corrosion.

Tidied up today, tryed changing spark plug for iridium one ,to see if it started better,
Realised don't habe 1/4 inch sockets
So will be later on in week

Reference the yellow earth wire, lights dimmer when not earth and most of the dash lights don't come on...

Engine cut out today whilst attempting to start and made a right metal racket....
Oil is fine..
Not sure what it was didn't sound healthy

Video of fault...
Neutral seems to work goes on and off like it should....
Oil warning light flickers whilst revving..

Reference metal banging noise,checked oil again looks clean and good,was going to refil with new oil but no filter...

Going to buy oil filter ,funnel because it's tiny the hole and 1/4 drive for spark plug...

Is it normal for carb engines to take a few seconds to start.revs over 2000 for a few seconds then settles at around 1800 ...

Video is set to private..

A bloke at work has one of these, looks like a smart bit of kit. It has aged quite badly over the winter though, the exhaust looks like it'll crack around the weld at the end can quite soon. Seems reliable enough though

Starting mine was a bitch, throw away the electric choke stick a polini manual one.

Or start with little throttle and nurse it like a 2 stroke until it will idle.

[sutty86]

SQL is that an hard job or expensive???
Video now public sorry
