Grouch

I am pretty useless at fixing things. Also I know most people mean no malice when having a laugh at my misfortune. So it doesn't bother me.

How far from completion is she?

My 2006 XT has the exact same engine, I always warm the engine every time I use it, otherwise it would cut out as soon as stopped at lights etc. But once the engine is warm it shouldn't need the choke again.

Nice shed, just make sure you turn it into Fort Knox to keep the scum fucks out!

No I'm not a ginner lol, I think I got every forum members bad luck so we should all be ok now.

The curse is avenging all those who took the piss out of me haha

It's true I am, and the sad thing is my dad is very practical and can fix almost anything to washers to laptops. I did not inherit his skills.

I'll try it next time I replace my chain & sprockets.

Might be a good idea, or you never know, you might get away with it. Tbh I'm glad I got an aftermarket speedo its a lot better.

So how many teeth have your sprockets got?

Already been through that phase lol

Oh yes Foamy, I'll settle for that.

Slack chain

Will do

Just had them done.

I'll look into it, cheers and have fun off roading.

Just had a brand new one fitted.

Now my bike is back on the road and mechanically sound I think we should have a little competition for a bit of fun. All you have to do is try and predict the next thing to get 'grouched'. It could take days or even months for something to happen so get guessing.

If I got one I'd buy a DeWalt one or something.

I'll have to buy an impact driver set, can't afford an impact drill, £300 for a decent one.

I think I've had a lifetimes bad luck in the space of a month lol.

After this surely nothing else can go wrong. At least I gave it a go, the shit thing is I could of done it

Haha glad some people are enjoying my misery

I'm so pissed off, if the bolts were not seized I could of done it.

Ultimate fucking failure, three bolts were threaded/seized and were impossible to unscrew. I have snapped my plastics (in temper) to get them off, then when I got to the final bolt on the tank it was totally rounded and seized through rust. So I phoned the garage £25 to fit so fuck it it's getting done tomorrow. I really don't give a fuck about £25 it really stressed me out and there was no way I could get the bolts out. I should of just phoned the garage in the first place. So now my plastics are snapped.
