I been out on mine the last two weekends, pretty good weather for Jan.
As long as it's dry and no salt on the roads, you have got to have a winter blast.
Yep, thats what happens to most bikes. They spend most of year sat doing nothing in a garage.
My step-dads Blackbird has only been out twice in the last two years and that was just to go and get it MOT'd... waste of time having it imo.
I don't like the pre K6 600's. lol
I only just sold my KX250, 05. I was after a green laner but bought a crosser instead and just went up the local practice track. I had to sell that due to probelms with my shoulder.
If I had the time I would get a XR400 now and use throught the winter &...
I had to give up for a bit, when i was younger and needed a car for winter travelling to work.
It was heartbreaking in the summer seeing bikes blast around on a sunny morning.
I lasted a year and bought an old NC30 for fun.
I just went from there trying to build my way back up to a...
I can't wait for the summer to get out on mine more.
I went out yesterday on mine, the roads were wet and still had salt on. So I had to wash it when I came back.
IMO a modern 600 is all you need on the roads.
I'm going to order today either the Navman S30 for £109 or the TomTom One for £99 of Amazon.
Not sure which one though?!?
I tempted by the Navman, but I have always used TomTom's before.
Yep, I think 7 hours is about right.
I only went to Renault as, there are at the bottom of my road and I got Renault Uk to contribute to the costs.
I got a refurbed box, new clutch and one drive shaft for £700, with a years warranty on the box.
Whats your reg start with mate? I always...
Mike at Rentech had a gearbox for sale of his 172, I was going to have it.
He may still have it???
He quoted me alot cheaper than £900 mind, with a new clutch fitted.
I would definately put a new clutch on though, as if it goes thats £400-£500 please, at specialist.
That one does look a minter.
I saw one for sale about 9months ago for £795, with 112k on the clock, good service history, in good nic.
I should knew i should of just bought it.
I recently had a new box in mine, done at Renault.
IMO they do seem to be weak, I treated mine well and it's done most of it miles on the motorway. But it still failed at 40k, 4 years old.
Your looking around £400 to remove and replace the box and then what ever you pay for the box.
It think it's only under the orginal warranty, for some silly reason.
Book it in and see what they say, they contact Renault UK if there is cost to you.
I had my gearbox replaced when the car had just turned 4 years old and got Renault to pay about 60% of the costs.
The gearboxes don't...
I saw a 65 plus guy driving a Red 197 the other day.
Well my Nan who is 70 has just traded her 05 Plate, Leon Cupra R in for a New Leon Cupra, and my Grandad is on his second new shape Leon with the FR.
TBH I thought I was going to buy her Cupra R off her, it had only done 9k.
They...
