Grouch Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Bikes fucked again, I am so pissed off now with the fucking thing I could cry. I have an idea what's wrong but will reveal the answer tomorrow when the garage have looked at it. The winner of my competition will be announced. That's my Cagiva Mito postponed, I am really pissed off, I have just spent £600 on the fucking thing and thought I was going to be ok for a while. I don't think it's serious but still going to cost. But as always I will continue putting my faith in her and never entertain the idea of getting a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted April 16, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 16, 2013 That is really bad news mate. Fix it, get it home, sell it and buy another. A 2 stroke this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouch Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 I know it's the right time of year to sell it and get a good price, but I can't do it knowing how much cash I have spent on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Sorry to hear that mate. I kinda agree with DT. Cut your losses and get rid mate, you'll just spend more dough on it. I wouldn't go for a 2 smoke tho'. They need a bit more care and attention and by your own admission you dont have enough time to work on the bike. Although with the newer smokes you just need to keep your eye on the oil tank and rad bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted April 16, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 16, 2013 There are 2 things that kill 2 strokes. Cheap oil and not being used properly. I dont mean ragging them to death either. Ridden at 3/4 revs on good throttle and you could get 20 maybe even 25k from a healthy 2stroke. Then its only a quicky top end rebuild. Comparing that to servicing all that crap on the top of a plodder prob comes out in the smokies favour. Chugging round off power or riding it like a racer will kill em stone dead though.

j0hn Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 You would be making a massive loss if you do sell it though. What you have to consider and what many have said is that your bike is more or less brand new since most of the parts have been replaced. Sooner or later, you're going to get to a point where there would be no reason for your bike to break down (touch wood), just need to get through this spill of bad luck I guess. I'm also curious to know what actually went wrong this time and why you made the decision to take it straight to the garage instead of a diagnosis on this forum. Going to have to side with jimmy here and say that getting a two stroke might not be a good idea at this point. If you're have trouble taking care of your own, chances are you'll go through a lot more pain, suffering and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouch Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Only a retard would sell a bike after plowing over a grand into it. It is something small but I can't be exact as to hat it is until I take her to the garage. Was meant to go today but was too busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouch Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Sorry guys but I was at my Grandads funeral in a seaside town where he retired to. Booked into a B&B because I knew I wanted a good old drink. Back home now and taking it up in an hour or so so as soon as I know I will update. I have my suspensions but as you know I'm no mechanic so not 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Sorry to hear about your Grandad Grouch, as for your bike "WHAT COULD GO WRONG" as you seem to have repaired or replaced everything that moves or comes off??? If you didn't have bad luck you would have no luck. Hope it's not to expensive and that this is THE LAST time the bugger lets you down, you can't sell it now you will have to wait till it becomes a classic or vintage before you get your money back should be about 25 to 30 years from now, wrap it in cling film and store it at the back of your garage till 2043 (that's not a quarter to 9 either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouch Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Thanks Slice, I won't ever sell it now, once I move up engine sizes I will be doing exactly what you said and putting it into storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
