I never went through with it, I found a last minute pair in my size on Facebook

My first thoughts where stuck floats or the needles not seating properly. unfortunately the only real fix is strip down and re clean and make sure everything is immaculate when rebuilding

If over 24 they can do direct access on a 600+ and ride anything if under 24 it’s a bit more complicated but then there will be power restrictions and another test required if they want to move up to a full license

If it’s happening on accelerating I’d be looking at the reg\rec not regulating the voltage and overloading the systems

For what’s it worth I done my test on an mt07, had a gsx600f for about 5 weeks then moved onto a tiger 955i for a couple of months and now ended up on a Zx9r within a few months of passing my test and feel like I could have went straight to the Zx9r with out much bother. It only goes as fast as you make it. the throttles smooth and the bike is stable and handles bumps and surprises well. anyone can kill themselves on anything but it also works where if you’re sensible you’re fine

Not the end of the world dropping the sump bud. I fitted an overhauled engine from a 3rd party at work and when we started it up it was leaking from a timing case plug… only way to repair it was drop the engine again

Doesn’t sound like much of a mechanic to be honest. find a decent bike mechanic and I’m 100% certain they’ll be able to rebuild it. or if you’re at all competent YouTube and Google are your friend and I’m sure you’ll be able to do it yourself whilst learning a new skill

Can you not get a rebuild kit for the original carb?

Simple bolt on job, well worth tackling yourself if you have any tools

Hello mate, are you looking for road rides or off road?

So what repairs did they carry out whilst it was there?

The gearbox is contained in the lower half of the engine casings. to access the gears and shafts generally means splitting open the engine crank case. Sounds like a big job but if you have a good manual and a bit of common sense it’s not beyond the reach of a good diyer. or I’d imagine you could pick a whole engine up for £150-200 from a good breaker?

If it’s only in 3rd then there’ll be something wrong with 3rd gear inside the box. I’d imagine the only remedy is open the box up and have a look

Cheers, looks like sbs may be the best way to go!

Hi all, following on from my previous post about ARN leathers are aftermarket armour inserts a standard size? just going through the order and the guy I’m talking to says the armours are all different sizes as I’ve asked for an empty suit to supply my own armour to fit In the pockets. any help appreciated
