ok so the bike wasent starting. i charged the battery and it sorted the problem, for 1 day and a half and then it died again. charged it for 10 hours and it sorted it for two days again.

now surprise surprise, its died again. I was well pissed off coz I was starving and planning to drive to burger king quickly and my bike let me down in a big big way Evil or Very Mad

so, is this just a battery problem that will be sorted out with a brand new battery? its was fine for a few months before all this.

i cant remember what its called (i have a hangover at the min:D) but check the thing that charges the battery while the bike is running. A new battery wouldnt be a bad idea either Thumbs Up

speedfights are prone to knackered front shoxs.
i'll bet the master cyl is ok its just a pain to get them to pressure up i use a vacuem unit to do them. u can check by clamping the hose near the cyl and pump it up if it does keep lever in and release clamp, keep doing that untill releasing makes no differnce then keeping lever in open bleed nipple might take a few times but it'll work.
head bearings av been out and not repacked with good grease.
did you use stud lock on the variator pully and put the small steel washer back thats on the inner ie where the belt is if not say bye bye to the splines on crankshaft

i have a speedfight 100cc x race andi had the same problem, id be riding down the road and all of a sudden the lot would go off, lights, engine the lot! so i bought a new battery and everything seems fine, i took it for a good 2 hour run and it never went off once, now i have a fuel leak and it is a bastard to start from cold (only just did yesterday,last turn over b4 batt died) then i tried today and it just died (hopeing its just becuase the fuel leak making it hard to start therefore fucking the batt)

She is in the garage now gettin fuel leak done, speedo cable done and check the batt charge also not sure if its normal on these but iv notiuced a horrible rattle when i pull off and espec when i slow down (not sure if its the normal noise these make, as its my first one)??? il let you all know the outcome soon as i get it back sometime tonight

bought it for 500 quid for the summer to save for a nice gti, am i in for constant repair bills?

well ive only had mine for about 3-4 months and ive already spent in eccess of £200 on it inc fuel etc. and it still wont flippin start.
I just feel like throwing it off a cliff.

junopug. mines always rattled from pulling off and when closing the throttle. Its not a bit rattle. more like a whirl... I got that and a rattle that sounds like a spray can Question

zorgman.. I fitted everything back as it came off but I dont recall any washer. There probably was but im forgetful to say the least. I checked my haynes manual and is does mention a washer but it fits on before the variator and its states "if fitted"...

The rattles Ive got have been the same since before I changed the belt and its no different now Sad
