Re: first bike nc23 - help
alright i did same m8 i bought one of these as just past test recently and didn't want to kill myself too fast lol
i bought a non runner to do up and it in the garage the now going through mot.
if u go to buy it honestly check for any crash damage wheel alingment etc also make sure brakes dont bild at callipers it a pricy job if seals need replaciong if u aint handy with a spanner as garage hr rates 30 to 50 quid an hour.
other prices chain 90 ish
filter oil filter fiver
air filter 25
check electrics as rear break light can come off prety easily under kill switch as found out 5 mins from mot
chech for keys ire rear seat lackkey i forgot that one and now on hunt for replacement lock and key.
tyres around 90 to 100 quid for back one depending if it same as mine 150 by 60 by 18 if i remember rightly front think it 70 to 80ish u sprob shop about and get better prices than i hav stated oh and there loads of second hand parts avail
nothing much happens untill above 7000 rpm so it not crazy power straight off
but they suppose to be fun bikes to ride so called screamers lol might be because u hav to nail them to get going
pending on ur height and weight and wot u using it for rear suspension is a bit soft i 6 foot and 15 st (not fat lol) and it bottoms out a bit but u can chage it for a 600 suspension i been told pretty easily
any more q's just pm me as i going through it all the now and if it just to get started pay no attention to people taking the p*ss they seet looking bikes i fixed, filled, reprayed mine gloss black and once on road will post pics of work.
hope this helps
