Right, my GPR 50 has stopped working. Broke down about 3 weeks ago and has been sat in my drive ever since. The problem was that it lost power once, came to a stop and then it was fine again after a few minutes. It then lost power again, further along the road (came to a stop fairly quickly not sure if the back was locked or not) it then failed to start off the button and sort of bumped started if you kept pushing it for ages but sounding like sheite and died again after about 3rd gear. I then ran out of battery so charged it up again and whacked it back in again, turned the key and nothing happened. Nothing electrical works now, have tested the battery and thats fine, haven't checked the fuses yet. I haven't tried bump start it yet as I took the tank off.

Sort of debating which of 3 options to take, break for parts on ebay, sell in its current state or fix it and sell it. Im definately going to sell it just deciding which option to take. I am just going to get a goped for the last 4 months untill i am 17 when I am doing my full test for going to work and college.

Any advice?

Cheers,

M

track a 50 lolz.
Id fix it myself, youll get fook all selling it on as a broken bike usually. and breaking a bike for parts is a painstaking business been speaking to a chap that had some parts i needed and has had the bike apart for 7 weeks and he still aint got rid of it all.

Sell it broken or fixed, but don't break it.

Have you noticed that the stuff on eBay is always the same.

I swear they've sold about 3 bits of GPR this year. Laughing

Funny you should say that, I know someone called George/Beef, and thought to myself, that 8 for a B is just the really gay kind of thing he would do Laughing
