I have made the decision to sell the 900 i bought a short while ago as i don't have the time to spend fixing the issues
It has suffered from corrosion probably been left under cover for a long period allowing the electrical connections etc to corrode, although I have done my best to address these i find more problems each time I work on the bike.
The story so far.......
I bought and rode back from Portsmouth on the bike around 6 weeks ago during which the rear brake must have been slightly binding which blued the rear disc and calliper.
During replacement I also checked the rear wheel bearings which were also rebuilt
I was also advised to strip and check/replace or regrets the swing arm and suspension link bearings and bushes. These were all stripped down , cleaned greased and rebuilt
On my first ride out the indicators stopped working so i set about trying to repair the fault
Once the fuel tank and air box were removed the corrosion could be clearly seen and most of the connection blocks fused together with corrosion. After many attempts to clean the terminals as best I could I rebuilt the bike to find there was no ignition at all.
Stripping the tank etc again i found the main power lead to the main switch corroded so replaced the connection and rebuilt it again....
This time it started on the button and the indicators worked......
I knew i had a broken terminal on the fan relay so i removed this and soldered a wire on the broken terminal as a temporary repair, started the bike until hot and the fan cut in as it should.....great I though the problems are being sorted.
I though i would take her for a spin and guess what... no indicators!!!!
So after many hours of spannering I came to the decision I don't have the time needed to get involved to strip the bike and replace or doctor all the electrics so I decided to put the panels back on and sell her as a runner with no indicators
BUT
When i tried to start her again the engine just turns over an won't fire up!!!!!
code 19 has come up on the display which is open circuit from the side stand from what i can gather
I really can't spend any more time on the bike so Im offering it on here first before the ebay vultures swoop if i end up breaking her
The bike has done around 36k has just under a years MOT and when she ran was fine
Has a new battery
Scott oiler (behind number plate)
centre stand
Good tyres
good chain and sprockets.
Oxford heated grips (not working, haven't even tried to fix them!!)
Bad points are
forks badly pitted(not leaking )
general corrosion
It would either be a great winter project or good for spares
I paid £1000 but i am open to sensible offers, i will only break her if I really have to
I only seem to be able to add on picture per post so will try to put more up
Thanks for looking
