Fiddlesticks Posted February 2, 2024 Posted February 2, 2024 Good morning. Bike wouldn't start today. Checked ignition, wasn't in gear with side stand down, display didn't look right. Turned it off and on again. No joy. Scratched head... Twenty seconds later remembered the kill switch that I never use. Must have been the mice again. 4 Quote

Pie man Posted February 4, 2024 Posted February 4, 2024 Good Evening. I hear Chester KTM & Harley Davidson along with Manchester Harley Davidson have shut shop. Not good for someone who has their bike there or farkles ready to be collected. 4 Quote
Fozzie Posted February 4, 2024 Posted February 4, 2024 Good evening, Just back from a weekend away at the Cotswolds, a surprise 60th present for my partners dad arranged by his partner. My girlfriends sister, husband and 2 kids were there too, so a lot of the weekend revolved around keeping the little ones entertained. Went swimming, played games, and did a nature zoo/park type thing today. New car was picked up on Friday, but it's got a grumble coming from the back, which has suddenly deteriorated over the weekend. Sounds like a wheel bearing is failing quickly, unusual for a 1 year old car with 9k miles... Anyone else have anything like that on such a young car? But the dealership are prioritising it so it hopefully gets fixed tomorrow, hopefully just a small teething issue. Serves me right for test driving another one thinking that was enough to put money on another in the trim and colour I liked. Niece fell asleep in the back of it when she wanted to tag along for a drive out, so that's a plus for it. 1 Quote

Fozzie Posted February 4, 2024 Posted February 4, 2024 1 hour ago, RideWithStyles said: Whats the car? could be bearings, brakes, diff, drive shaft...... Kia Xceed, a repetitive crunching/grinding noise that is irregular at lower speeds, and becomes regular at higher speeds. Like a badly warped and corroded disc, but the brakes being on doesn’t quiet the noise as would usually happen. Front wheel drive, so I’m guessing a bad hub on the back. Quote
Fiddlesticks Posted February 4, 2024 Posted February 4, 2024 (edited) My car tyre once picked up a dirty great threaded stud which somehow lodged itself with the nut on the inside of the tyre. The rubber closed around the thread and sounded exactly like a knackered wheel bearing as the exposed metal ground itself into the road surface. The best part was, it was a brand new tyre, and somehow a replacement was covered under the tyre's warranty. Edited February 4, 2024 by Fiddlesticks 1 Quote
