and that's why its probably almost dead lol, why not get a cheap Chinese geared bike and rag that around while rebuilding the rxs ? that way you wont really care about if you kill the bike and it wont cost you a lot to repair seeing as most pitbike engines will go into chink bikes :) just a thought, found a rxs local to me for £300 might go take a peek tbf
the rxs dosnt need to much doing tbh cause the bloke should have my engine done a week or 2 after i take it to him and ill start re-doing the frame and a genral tart up while he rebuilds my engine so should only be off the road for a month max when ive started but wont be doing this till november if the engine lasts that long

cant wait to get financially sorted and get a bike back on the road so annoying watching everyone else riding in this weather when I cant be lol :(

yeah i was like that last week when it spat its plug out the reason im waiting till november is so i can use it through summer and then strip it and that i only have £200 saved up so far and im thinking its gonna cost £350-£400 to rebuild the engine and another £100-£200 for the rest but my horn fell of today so thats another £10:(

Pipes do make a difference on a small geared 2t single,
last I had/had a polished k+n on top of a gianelli - that tends to get you noticed!. :D .

Don't sound like your ginna be heading in that direction,
Being aware of a problem long 'fore it happens an your life
goes t..s - up,can't say better than that.,
When your on a ban,esp. say a couple of years....,
you simply tune in too not being on a bike,
you have no other choice???............ .
