Re: xivlias thread of multiple problems?
yeah the shisha! its good :D. well the bike is pretty much all naked, only thing thats on it is the tank, and carbs on the engine. i dont know how to drop the engine out safely. but im not promising this. it all depends on what my dad has to say. well gasket like, head gaskets etc. would i need to replace them? anyway. problems of the bike shall be written down by next week.

Re: xivlias thread of multiple problems?
Why do you need to take the engine out for the gasket?

Re: xivlias thread of multiple problems?
As it happens, I am about to post up my NC35 in the for sale section as new 6 week old baby and lack of riding this year is making me take a difficult decision.xivlia wrote:i think if i were to even get back on a 400, i would chose the nc35. i wanted an nc35 all from the beginning but it was just too expensive for me at the time.
I might be persuaded to take yours in part-exchange as a mini project for the winter.....
...as long as you dont ruin mine - had it many years and part of the family.

Re: xivlias thread of multiple problems?
hmm id rather buy a new r6 and by new i mean anything post 2006. im not meaning brand new.
il probably end up buying a 2006 r6 with the new look, not the older look.

Xivlia, if you are thinking of selling your NC30 how much would you be looking for it? I am not that far from you

Re: xivlias thread of multiple problems?
well im not sure. considering it runs, the only other problem that i know of is the jamming of the starter motor... had this problem for months and still there.. i press the ignition button, the engine spins and spins and then it just stops... like its getting jammed.... i have to turn the ignition off and rock the bike back and forth to fix it, not a clue what the problem is. i havent changed my starter motor or anything, but i did replace the starter clutch and the problem still persists. so im not sure how much you, or another member will pay for it.
