    Always listen to squiggles

    Well Stephens gonna say I told you so but looks like my bike has had another attack of two strokeritis doh! And here I was thinking it was all better now, just wondering where we can get a cheap ht lead from as the dealers are charging 30 bucks for them!

    Lol honestly... is it worth it? 2-stroke commuting and the such seems to be a lot more trouble than it's worth!!! How much was your bike just curiously?

    Don't confuse 2-strokes in general with a shagged-out 150cc learners bike.

    Just like GiJoe1313 shouldn't confuse thumpers with a shagged-out 250RS.

    Bad luck dude. My RG150 was raced and thrashed within an inch of it's life every time it was ridden and it was still reliable as hell!

    She hasn't been thrashed, she's hardly been broken in in ten years, once i get to the bottom of the problem, probably a wiring fault somewhere! I'm gonna thrash her so hard she's gonna wish that she didn't sulk so much, i'm over being her slave. Oooh betty's gone and done it now

    im pretty sure thats what 2smokers love.

    if its been sitting around for years the crank seals might have gotten dry...

    happened to my amtes NSR and he spend about one day riding it for every week fixing it...

    till he got a x race motor

    ffs dont make him paranoid

    The only reason this thread is here is because he supposedly had a bung HT lead, which he then jiggled and so forth till it worked

    *Sigh* So if its not getting spark and wiggling the lead then gives it spark, we take it to the mechanic. Perhaps change the title of the thread

    a mechanic?! what?! we aren't to that stage yet!

    my experience with bike mechanics (the shop ones, that is) is they fix one problem but cause another, and often have different standards of quality to the rest of us

    plus they charge upwards of $60 an hour

    they random old guys working out of their garage, on the other hand, are very good... but as a result they take forever to even get round to looking at your bike

    for me, a mechanic is only an option when more than one carby needs fiddling with or i have no time to do it myself or don't have the tools to do it (like tyre changes and fitting endless chains)

    then again i'm just a poor westie who's seen way to many jobs from mt eden and henderson

    just think to yourself, what would the mechanic do? from squiggle's last post i think he'd replace that lead
