I will be picking up the motorbike on Sunday 7th August and will upload updated pics when I receive the bike :) I can't explain how excited I am, even if the bike doesnt start it'll take probably not even an hour to get firing and running. :D

and the only bit of damage I can see from the photo. This is from the chain lock. :)

Hey guys. So I picked the bike up today and to say I'm chuffed is an understatement.. It has a proven 509 miles since it was registered in 2008! It was used for just that one year 2008-2009.. and so hasn't been taxed since and is currently sorn. The only thing letting the bike down is the rust covered exhaust, which isn't a problem because I've got the wirebrush and hi temp black paint out :D

Here she is..





I haven't managed to start it as of yet. I did kick it over a couple of times and it sounds like it wants to go (Exhaust backfires asif it's about to fire up) but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated, I will say one thing. When I had my old 2 stroke, the piston rings had gone and it would only start on a bump or erratic kicking from the kick start..
It sounds like this may be the case here, if so, how hard would it be to change rings and piston?

Cheers in advance guys :)
