hey im also pretty new to the thundercat, i have had mine for bout 1 month now. i was looking at two at the time one on a r'reg with 30k and one on a p'reg with 16k. the r'reg had a few things extra which i wonted but was attracted to the p'reg just cause of the mileage, it has its service history so its not clocked. just had service - oil, filters, spark plugs, carbs cleaned and balanced, new chain and sprockets. i was worried bout the box but the same as you i give it some in second on the test ride and it didnt pop out so thats good its just a little harder getting it in second than other gears but only just. after a week or two started riding a lil funny i thought to box was on the way out but it was just the chain, it was knackered. all good now. role on summer!

cool cheers, spoke to some guy the other day and he also said it may have a tigh spot. the rear sprocket looks good, the teeth arent hooked over or anything. loosened it again last nite but havent been out yet. im gonna try get it booked in next friday for a service and that will see what its like then. thanks for some response

i use experian at work to check cars that are being scrapped. this tells you if they been damaged or imported, change of colour etc. but if its not been registered it might not bring it up, could be worth a try though

i thought that daft hands was well good.

hello all! im new to this so bare with me. ive just bought a 96 thundercat 16K on the clocks two weeks ago seems to be a real nice bike and i like it a lot. before i bought it i went for a test ride and it seemed to run fine, the exhaust was blowing("Y" section on downpipe but this has now been welded) but apart from that seemed fine. now im panicing thinkin the gearbox is on its way out. it does not jump out of second but it is slightly harder going in to second than other gears. its was making a slight noise and i thought it was the chain as it was quite slack tightend it up then rode it and there is now no slack what so ever, losened it, quick ride, no slack? is there anything that i need to look out for? it seems to have a low rev judder around 4-5k of revs when im crusing this is why i was think the box was bust, spoke to a chap at a garage he had a quick ride in the car park as i was worrying bout the box but he said its the carbs which prob need cleaning and balancing, Thanks for any help or advice which anyone may give. Si.
