Question We newbies need your help to learn!

This thread sparked me off again!!

Would you repair this bike?


It's been asked before and I'm asking again


Please .... If any of you guys and gals 'do' anything with your bikes .... repair wise .... servicing .... adding stuff .... changing stuff ..... cleaning stuff ..... anything at all .... would you please post some pictures so that others such as me who haven't a clue about these things can learn.

Please?


Some time's my mind doesn't only wander, it leaves completely ...........

Re: We newbies need your help to learn!

Yeh well if the bike is 15 miles away from where i live, in a garage, then what is the point of posting a picture of a bike that would the same, seize or no seize?

Do you mean so that people can see what the bike looks like?

Re: We newbies need your help to learn!

I never even bothered to take a single picture of my own bike, spent too much time driving it.

Sorry, but i have no idea how a 4stroke or a manual engine works. I haven't a clue about how my own bikes works to be 100% honest.

Clarify it. Please

Re: We newbies need your help to learn!

I dont take pics when working on the bike - my hands are usually too oily but I'm doing the cush drive rubbers soon and will have to adjust the chain so maybe I can do something then



I read that smoking weed destroys your brain cells - so I gave up reading

Re: We newbies need your help to learn!

i buy and sell malaguti rcx12 grizzly motorcross bikes, so i usually have engines and bikes in pieces nearly every day, also i would not trust a garage to do work on my own bike so i do everything myself, from simple jobs such as chain tensioning to full engine rebuilds, i will start taking pics and start posting them ok

young at heart and still faster than you
