Bought this little bike from a 'damaged motorcycles' auction. It has had a quick head-on so has all the trademarks of a massive frontal impact.

I crossed my fingers and hoped that it would only require a set of forks and some new fairings......we shall see!!!
It was pretty heavy to push towards the trailer when I picked it up and once I got it home I found that I couldn't get it into neutral??
1st thing I did when I got it home was I stripped the fairings off it...

I added a fresh battery into the equation in the hope that the neutral light might help me out a little (not knowing at all if the instrument cluster worked).

Well the good/great news is that all of the electrics work! Every light, indicator etc works. Brilliant. That is a good starting point. Still can't find neutral though, so that will require some more investigating in the light of day.

The headlights are splayed out, looks hilarious!


I pulled the clutch in and decided to turn it over. Checked it was holding fluids first and it is holding oil and water with no leaks. Gave it a whirl and it sounds pretty good when turning over, has good spark as well. I think it will be a runner once I fix the gearbox?
