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.

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.

I might live to regret this.. :shock:

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.
