cool...that can is hot!

 

thanks . my bike likes to cut out every once in a while whilst i'm driving and i have to let it sit for about 5 minutes before it'll start again, well.... it sort of slows down and chugs to a hault. its happened twice since i've had it. do you know what might be causing it and how i can solve this problem?

 

I'm thinking your speedometer cable internal has snapped. Happened to my F2. Unhooked the cable from the speedo gear on the front axle and the cable (1/2 of it) just slipped out. I'd check this.

 

i took the center out of my speedo cable and it seems to be in 1 piece but now there is a squeeking at the front wheel, do u think i may just need to change the whole speedo fitting on my front wheel? i have found 1 on ebay for £10 so i may as well give it a go.

 

i think it would be worth a try to change out that gear unit on the front axle. it's very rare that the needle on the instrument cluster will go out unless it has been damaged in an accident and seeing as how your cable is okay, then you've pretty much looked at everything related.

 

hey rrasco have you managed to put mesh in your maintenance pannels? hows that goin? did you solve the problem with clearance from the frame? would love to see pics wen its done

 

no not yet. i have wanted to do it for months now. it will come later, i still have my tail swap to finish as well as some other projects first. the bike is also getting painted before i put it on.

 

Can anyone answer the question about the bike cutting off? Mine did this a few days ago and I was lucky that the light stayed red long enough to restart it. If anyone knows what the problem is can they explain how to fix it please. BTW nice looking bike.

 

sorry, i have no idea.

 

start this question in another thread and i'll ask you some questions to see if i can help you narrow it down.
