Re: Starter Motor terminal bolt?????? Arrrgggh

Exactly the same on mine on sunday, did not have a problem getting the starter motor out, but could not undo the 2 long bolts holding the starter together so I cut them in half as they are only a couple of quid new. However, in a ham fisted attempt to get the square headed bolt out to make a new one...

Re: Novus Rider

I cant believe that everyone hasn't got one, I don't know what I would do without it, get lots of points I guess.

Re: Just bought one

I'm not paying that much, thats far too cheap ! I cannot reply to the Pm as I haven't been on here long enough apparently, but I definately would like them done anyways, silly not to I reckon, unless the noise is the sound of a piston just touching a valve :(

This is a bit of an antique thread but I have one of these and I have to say they are excellent. You can get the bike kit which is the earpiece and a large stick on led if you mount it in the fairing, it has leds built in to the unit but the plug in one can be put somewhere more visible.

It's done 52 k but has history, bit of a donkey but about right for the money I reckon, do me for the summer, if it was better nick I might be prepared to invest some time and money in it.

Re: Just bought one

I bought it blind off ebay as it was cheap and I was the only bidder. By some strange strange thing it turned out the bloke selling it is a friend of someone at work and actually is one of our subcontractors, then even more strange it turned out he lives in the house an ex lived in 4 years ago ! I m...
