give us a shout if ya need a hand as will be moving to rugby next week
 
Im just south of leicester, near lutterworth. Need to make a decision now, is it worth putting a new motor in, or do i break it for spares?

Gutted that is not a pretty site! I havn't heard of many rotax lumps letting go like that. Very rare indeed.

Mate i'm based north leicester near loughborough. I've got a good bunch of lads i regularly ride with who a scattered around your neck of the woods. We generally meet at fosse park and ride up through broughton astley, kimcote, across to the road from lutterworth to mkt harb and then we take our pick of some of the best roads in the country.

When your sorted give us a shout and we'll meet u for a ride. Saying that it will probably be next year now given the impending sleepy season.

I remember my brother had a zx6r from new. We were coming back along the A47 from a bike meet at morcott when it dropped a valve. The piston punched a hole in the front of the block and chucked oil every fooooking where. He was 'cruising' at the time if you get my drift. Surprised he didn't slide it down the road as the rear tyre was covered. There was bits of piston in the bottom of his fairing. The engine was totally :puke. Fortunately it was only a year old and still under warranty although the dealer did try to argue the toss because he had done 10,000 miles on it in a year. Thats not what the warranty sheets says, 2 years unlimited mileage!!!
 
Too bad mate.

I live in Leicester but work in Husbands Bosworth so give us a shout if you need a hand.

If you love the bike, fix it. As people have said you can get a donor motor pretty cheap.

How many miles it done? When did you last get the valves checked?

Check Griff out for servicing etc - he knows his **** when it comes to Mille's
