Hello from the Isle of Man

This is my first post, I thought Id say hi

Just bought this road legal badboy a couple of weeks ago (i know nothing about bikes), and could do with some advice



not used it much as I want to sort out a few niggles and parts are quite hard to come by over here, got a few looks bombing around on it during TT week!

To do list:

replace rear master cylinder
sort out forks (need full service)
wire up lights/indicators

clutch needs replacing (i think), even when fullly depressed whilst in gear the bike wants to creep away, the cable has been adjusted to its max limit, so guessing it need replacing?

My neighbour thinks it could be because the oil is a bit low (but not below min level) any thoughts?

Its also a bit of a pain to get into 2nd gear, I have to really let the revs drop all the way off before it will snick up???? 3rd and 4th are fine though?

Finding neutral can be a bit of a mission too?

Well if any of you guys can shed any light on my problems id really appreciate it, also, where is a good place to buy spares in the uk? need a rear master cylinder asap!

Cheers folks

Joe

Oh, also, anyone know where I can download an owners manual for this bike? Ive tried searching on google but no luck...

Re: Hello from the Isle of Man

cheers guys

a 12" back wheel will happen next payday, as might some supermoto style tyres if funds stretch ha

get such a buzz from riding her, will be perfect for the 10 min commute to work!

ive posted a thread in the workshop area about the clutch/gear issues, fingers crossed someone might be able to help
