My bike is for sale in bits but I'll give you the story first.
Friend gave me the bike a a project for fun 3/4 years ago and madly took him up.
The bike has gone down to the bare bones - frame powder coated, engine painted, new colour scheme etc.
However I didn't use a patent head gasket when I rebuilt the engine, and so it blew on tour in france last year but I nursed it back.
I took it to a local garage in Horley where they replaced the gasket, water pump, timing chain and charged me £800. Paid them, and rode for a day and there was a bit of a knocking, so took it back to the garage, who said that they had thought it sounded odd, but maybe that's what TDM's sound like. Now they said that the big end had gone, so when I asked them why they hadn't fixed it, they replied that I'd only asked for the head gasket - how did they manage the water pump and timing chain - although I told then to fix anything you find wrong......
Anyway, they put a 13,000 mile engine in from a breaker but it didn't run correctly. Had the carb tuned at Slipstream, no joy although it was miles out. Next day I spotted some non-standard wires going to the coils - they'd piggy backed them together as they seem to have done something nasty to the ECU. Bought another ECU secondhand, which now has both outputs to the coils, but the timing is out (alternator, pickup????) and still is rough as hell, so I'm throwing in the towel. There is no going back as I've bought another germanic monster of a bike!!!
A quick list of bits follows if people want them before I go anywhere need ebay, and are priced without postage. Obviously all is available (frame, wheels etc), so this is only a brief overview, and all is pretty new as I've only had it on the road for a 4 month window.
Waterpump £100 (cost over £200)
Nitron Shock - top of the range with hydraulic preload and compression adjustment (set for 85-90kg rider) £300 (cost £650)
4TX ECU £80 (cost £120)
Tank and white plastics £200 (spray job was £700) - but the garage chipped the front next to the yoke - easy to put a bit of paint on it as it's not easily visible.
Front brake - £100 - Blue spots, braided and new pads.
The engine is probably fine but I haven't had the chance to ride properly due electrics so any ideas. I have the original engine as well but that would take someone keen.
Exhaust is all custom made stainless, carbon cans with legal stamp on it £500 (cost 1200)
Carbs £100 - had been sonically cleaned prior to the demise of the bike. It's dyno No 1, but I have the original stuff as well.
There's a Scottoiler, heated grips (top Oxford ones were £80 new).
Forks are like new. They have new stanchions, internal bushes, seals and progressive springs £150.
Anything else just let me know....
