have seen this problem before have a look behind rubber seal on cap to see if you can see a vent hole

i got there at 8 but was in disguise as the mrs wanted an evening out and the bike dont take 2 and she cant get on bikes these days hopefully next week on bike

well if anyone is still there when we roll in come over and say hi i normally park against the kerb at top of car park if theres room you cant miss the big purple thing......lol

well if you are still there you will know its me coming in i think ive got the only bike thats grounds out over speed humps

im going down tonight not leaving chatteris till just after 7.30 will prob be there till about 9ish heading down with couple of friends

the axle is stuck in the inner race of the bearings and the wheel spins on the outer race the bearing are still working but the axle has seized into the inner section of them yo might be able to sqirt some wd40 or similar in along the axle which might help dont try and knoock it all in one direction either tap it one way yhen the other that will help break the rust seal

i dont know a lot about sym electrics but i do know there are 6 or 7 different wiring diagrams for the 50's

you say you charged battery do you get any neutral and oil lighht show when you turn ign on if not connect battery charger up to bike again and see if you get lights then battery migght of died over the winter wll show as charged on charger but not hold it one dssconnected

take the casing off and see if there is any sign of damage to the belt and check where belt runs for free play as there are rubber rollers in there that wear and it could be that but could be almost anything down in that area get it running put it on the centre stand and have a listen around

it could be the kick start quadrant the bit the kick start connects to with the teeth on it or it could be the speed variator and the rollers that the belt runs on

what bike is it??

always good to hear of a good ending and helpfull dealer

dont forget to try the lock with bars on full right and left lock as it will only go one way it lines up with a slot in the yoke stem

if the key goes in and you can turn it you need the steering on full turn then turn key push in and then turn key back to upright position the unit should stay set into the frame

agree that its all pointing at the battery being on its way out

was just after 8 when i got there parked on the side of road into where cars go through gate as main car parks were full

i answer to most names but im steve

cheer nman gsx1100 purple paint job

might drag myself down tonight weather permitting where does everyone meet up there last time i was there on my own didnt knwo if anyone else there or not

if the pistons are binding that bad you will have hell of a job geting them out of the caliper but a dealer will charge you a fortune there is another forum post about someone doing his own brakes and the dealer was going to charge him way over the top if you think you can do it yourself much better to do so

the same battery will fit several different bikes hence why they are listed like that

hope you have made sure with them that this is at no cost to you for new part and the labour to replace it

you can check out the wheel from the older xl range as they were 21 inch

it is often small hole in cap itself brethes through key lock sometimes and yes when u open tank u get the sucking sound if its blocked next time you get the problem stop and open fuel cap bike should then be fine you just need to find air hole check around the seals on cap

as silly as it sounds make sure the breather around the fuel cap is clear as if there isnt enough air getting into the tank it will give problems like this and while running rough the air balance returns so will run ok for a while again
