Today was the big day, the bike was ready for it's wof and I would be able to ride to university :woohoo: . So I flick the starter switch and it fires up first time, a good start. I finish gearing up and head down my road, left onto Moore St, a little cold so I'm taking it easy. Aproach the end of Moore then right onto Eban, giving it a bit more gas up the hill and then Vrrrrrrrrrrrr.............

IT DIES!

No electrics, fuse me thinks. Piece of shit is sitting at a local park in a gravel patch next to a dairy until after uni so I can get some friends to help me push it back up my road.

I can't catch a break... :thud:

I'll get Indy to help push it back to mine so I can start by REPLACING the fuses first this time. :D

I think my bike suffers from a variation of SCDS, SBDS (sudden bike death syndrome). Mmmm some nice bikes on trademe, just one more month until I go back to work.

I pretty much put anything that happens to my bike on here. I'll go grab some photos before I leave for uni. :wavey:

Does anyone have a van they can to lend me for today?
I want to steal Magua's bike from beside the dairy and sell it to a wreckers for parts.

Perhaps some drunk in a Pajero could loose control in the gravel patch...cause like...''he didn't see it'' and um...well,y'know,solve some problems at the same time?

Just push it off it's stand, it'll hit the deck and break into a million different pieces, way easier to transport than getting a van :niceone:

The bunny is surely half-way to world domination. It has done nothing wrong for me. Maybe more people should put him into their signatures. Maybe they are jealous Magua. It's ok. I'm here for you in you time of need...:rofl:

Just wait a couple of months for the K6 GSXR-750 to come out. Looks bloody nice!

Black (http://www.mcnews.com.au/NewBikeCatalogue/2006/suzuki/road/gsx-r750/gallery_detail_gsx-r750/pages/black.htm)

Yellow (http://www.mcnews.com.au/NewBikeCatalogue/2006/suzuki/road/gsx-r750/gallery_detail_gsx-r750/pages/yellow.htm)

That 750 is awesome in yellow, you think someone 6 foot could get an exemption? :D I'm thinking of something more tame as my next bike, something a little newer.

Not sure about the exemption mate. But that is as new as you can get... Maybe not so tame though.

Uh - what , no, I'm not drunk. Quite sober. I just don't see sprotsbikes at all, cos they're too small. Sitting way up there , they don't show on my target seeking radar.

Gravel patch , eh. I like driving on gravel. And I know where those roads are . Remember when the put Eban Ave in. Messed up a good off road bit of ground they did. Moore street used to be a short dead end road, all bush then where the traffic calming shit is now.

But I don't like hitting sports bikes, that's Mr Motu's speciality. I always worry about the bits of fairing getting caught in my suspension - worse than gorse they are. Bits of rider, too, just too much of a hassle having to wash the dried blood off.

Well its pretty clear what is wrong with the bike. One of the wires has been nicked and when it touches the frame or something around it the circuit is shorted out and then the fuse blows. You need to go through all the wiring in your bike and find the nick. It shouldn't take too long. If you think there is one then just tape it up and keep going. Otherwise just carry around about 50 fuses in your pocket and replace them every time it blows.

I'm certain he's put everyone off owning a FZR250.

NO! That will only infect other poor innocent bikes with the horror that is the MaguaFZR

Interesting development, I went down to get the bike with Indy around 7pm and omg it works, lights and all. So Indy deciedes he will ride it back up the road. 50m up the street and Vrrrrrrrrrrr..... it all goes flat again.

So I'm guessing it's not a fuse, as fuses don't randomly fix themselves..........do they? :mellow:

You forgot to tell them tha part where we walk all the way down to the bike, you then look at it and go 'oh yea, I need the key.....'...... :niceone: f*ck-mook lol

Yeah, I should of blusted it hard out, it might of gone

THE WORLD'S FASTEST FIZZER!

I replaced one of the fuses with a spare one today, charged the battery up and place it in the bike, da comrades it springs into life. So I turn it off, go grab a helmet, wheel it around out of my garage and turn the key. No power, it's died again. :calm:

I figured the connection to the main fuse was shite, so I cut off the current connection and re crimped it. Seemed to work, but fucked out as I went to put it back into it's insulator and away. Played with the wire and one of them seems to be fux0red. I'm going to cut it off further down the line and crimp and replace it with a new wire.

Thanks Magua, if nothing else you've made me feel better about my bike.... I guess you should always remember that somewhere there's someone worse off than yourself...(except maybe in your case!)

cheers :niceone:

Hmmm a cursed bike aye.....

give ya $50 for it hahahaha.

Yeh sounds like you got some major electrical issues.. (i.e. shitty old wiring)

Hey k14 i had that problem on the gixxer one of the wires was rubbing on the fork clamp so yould short through the fork when ever i turned right..... took bloody 3 fuses for me to suss it out won't be making that mistake again :argh: :calm:

Yamaha wiring is crap in my experience

Yamaha wiring is crap in my experience

It had a lot of turns in it just before the fuse and when I tried to move it it would loose contact and the lights would go out. I've got some crimps for car audio, but I'm going to need to make a trip to Jaycar tommorow as I've only got wires that came with my speakers, they seem a little small in comparison.
