thanks for the replies and the offer, but i'm not after a built up bike, i have always been a tinkerer and prob enjoy building as much as riding, he may not even sell it yet, i hope he will, but i have a feeling the car has blown its head gasket yesterday( theres water seeping out from somewere on the engine) so i may have another project first!
Thanks
Ian

Could also be a pipe is punctured/ripped, radiator may be knackered or your water pump could be leaking.

Yeah hopefully just a loose pipe to the oil cooler, it deffo not rad/ water pump. I still not fully looked yet, its been to cold to lay on floor outside, but its mot is on the 20 jan, and it wants its nearside front suspension arm changing as well, so i think i gonna do it this weekend if it stops raining/ snowing!!!
Oh yeah i'm getting the bike as well, now wat shall i do with the FZR400????

Sell it :S

Has it got any pimp daddy bits?

If so i'd return it to standard as cheaply as possible, sell the pimp shit and then sell the bike. You'll get more for it that way.

Yeah thats wat im thinking at the mo, unfortunatley its not got any pimp parts appart from the Belgarda paintjob, it needs new front discs and maybe the forks replating (a few tiny pits). It will be a shame to part with it, its a real nice bike, that i've had for over ten years. But somehow i've never conected to it, like i have me nc30.
We'll see wat happens.
Cheers
