Well as lovely as my RSVR looks sat in my garage on a paddock stand i decided it'd probably nice to ride it as well as i've only been out on it once. just got a decent tyre on the back and im ready to rock... well i would be if the ******* thing would start!!! its fired up nicely in the past but now its dead. Bit of background on me helps the next part...
upon leaving school i decided i wanted to play with spanners so i went and did an apprentaship in light vehicle. I left the trade a few years back to persue a favoured career option in Psychiatric Nursing but obviously i still retain my knowledge as a grease monkey and service my own vehicles etc etc etc. My house mate is also a tech and works on those 4 wheeled things for Mercedes... anywho where were we?
Ah so Ben draggs me out of my pit this morning (hung over) and tells me we're gonna go out for a rip, que much banter and piss taking from the Jap bike owning **** because he is happy in the knowledge that his Gixxer will fire up if the tank is full of water and its -49394733 degrees. its ok i cry, i'll whip the plugs out of my ever so pretty Mille, give them a clean and it will fire up on the button, angels will sing, people in my street will cry joyus tears at the sheer beauty of my bike (your getting the picture)
So anyway Techy head on... Plugs are old and fouled so i replaced them, Got fresh fuel in it, wangled it up to the car for a jump start just to be easy on the starter. so will it run?! Will it Buggery!!! its getting fuel, admittedly i havent checked for a spark but thats because i think its the very least of my worries!
It cranks over, my concern is the ******* horrific noise it makes... hollow, metallic, snappy, grinding :rant
:eatcorn
Got your attention? *cough* Starter Clutch *cough*
I feel better for offloading that... Anyway it looks awesome :thumbup
