Bert the Hongdou

haha, will keep em in mind

 

ok another little tinker today.

dash off, gear selector lights and neutral light dont work, its not the bulbs so presume somewhere else? any ideas what/where?
rear light, ok sidelight is lighting up both elements, its either both or nothing, where as brake switch only lights up one element (cant swap which one it lights though)
took a while to warm up today, and still seemed to run abit lumpy once it had. will try that out when we get some better weather

 

just took it up to a bit of private land i know.
purrs like a dream, did cough a tad when going up hill and/or giving it a little bit of a squeeze. but it is on reserve so think it was struggling for fuel at that point.

neutral is deffo a problem, managed to find it whilst changing up to 5th

 

lol, nope just slightly naughty in this life

not sure how i managed it, guy on my car club says i just missed the gear,no idea, i just pulled over and dropped it back down the gears (there was something behind me when i did it)

im thinking maybe needs full oil change? might make them slip in slightly easier
also need to find out why the gear lights dont work

 

i had a play around with them, seem fine, my guess is the switch or sumat in the gearbox?
but i think before it goes on teh road it needs a new set of clocks, so that may sort it

 

haha, yeah its a wreck. will get some close up pics of the damage at some point
but it was free, doesnt need all that much work, is easy to work on and learn to work on, and its getting me into geared bikes, something i NEVER thought id do

 

its keeping me busy thats for sure. and so far ive not spent that much on it. had to buy an indicator bulb today as that had gone on me the other day, also think i need a couple dash bulbs (or swap some from some other lights) as the right hand indicator light and the high beam light both dont work when they used to

 

ive been into cars since i was 7 (probably earlier) only rarely given bikes a quick glance.
got told i cant park my car at work and i will not be leaving it anywhere else, so the mrs takes it and i got the ped as a cheap way of getting to and from work without sweating on a cycle. like it alot. was thinking of moving up to a 125 in a year or two, got bert free and think ill be keeping it

 

Bert is doing the opposite. Been taking about doing my test today lol

 

Hahaha. Im not sure when yet. Got a lot on over the next few months. So likely be next year

 

im lovin it, im diggin it

yeah theres no rush, although i didnt expect to be on a 125 this quick either
