    Result of all this is :

    1) The other party not checking his snipe or numbers in front of him - and now bricking it because he's under a legal contract to pay.  If he doesn't he'll have to answer to fleabay.

    2) The seller is less than impressed because he'll be hit for ebay fees on that number knowing he'll never ever see that money and accusing me for that.

    Somehow the chap refuses to talk to me even after explaining what happened + apologies.

    Ah well, you live and learn. 😑

     

    1) So fk, don't lose any sleep over it, that is his concern

    2) So fk, nothing to do with you......If you were top bidder then some explaining, but as you were outbid then, again fk em

    and the chap refusing to speak with you, so fk, fk em

     

    One will come up, or I can point you in the direction of a few Triumphs I know for sale ;);)

    Have you tried a new plug. Yours may be sparking outside the engine but failing under load. Doubt it will be the kill switch as you wouldn't get a spark inside or outside the engine

    Probably better sticking a battery in place to give it a boost

    MoT Prep

    Prepped my boys Virago in readiness for an MoT (booked for tomorrow,) He started a new job in April and has been on training so no time for bikes. His bike has sat in the shed since last year.

    Replaced front brake fluid and cleaned and adjusted rear drum brake. checked all lights work, checked spokes on wheels and fork seals. Didn't check steering head bearings as no centre stand and I was on my own but took it a wee run and they felt fine, so should be good to go tomorrow

    bogging down when throttling up

    in Yamaha Customs

    Look at the jetting. What colour are your plugs

    If it is after market pipes it may need rejetted. This would cause bogging down and could cause the blueing. 

    So you can either contact the zorst manufacturer and see what main jets they recommend, or faff about changing jets...or take it to a rolling road / dyno who should have a collection of jets and get it set up properly
