Major Handling problems

[Postie]

I did a service on my bike the other day and it is handling like shit ever since.
I did the oil and checked everything, it was getting hot so i thought i had better do the coolant aswell.

I took it for a ride and it was sweet for about 20 minutes, then it started to weave all over the road, then it started bunny hopping, after another 20 minutes, it started to backfire like a bastard and then the lights started to fade till they went out all together, the fuel tank started leaking and it stopped and collapsed in the gutter.

Here is what i replaced:

Oil
plugs
checked chain tension
coolant, sort off. The coolant i had was a little thin and old so i decided to use a bottle of absinth i had laying around from Christmas instead.

Anyone have any idea what to do???

You are going to have to locate a miraculous statue of the Virgin Dover that will piss blood all over your bike. That's the only way to cure it.

what, you mean it got worse than it was before?
didn't think it was possible..

did all the plugs up tight (but not too tight) and the leads on right?

The weaving and bunny hopping is probably just you..

[MSTRS]

I see your problem. It is the Absinth. You should have used whiskey.

[HDTboy]

You're taking the piss aren't you?

Well I saw the thread title and assumed it was a cibby related incident.

Turns out it's just the bike that's pissed...

funny thing actually, this thread was a piss take (using absinth instead of coolant) but on the way to work this morning, the dreaded Honda bug clicked in and one of the coils fucking died. So i'm on the hunt for a coil. Called City bike wreckers and they want $160 for a pair, or i can wait a week and get one from the UK for 10 quid.

Oh I see, I've still got a bottle and a half of Absinthe at home, the Hapsburg 89.50% stuff. Bloody beautiful stuff!. I got the spoon for burning sugar cubes over and sipping pipe as well from out of the UK... see pics.

I got Sarah's old man pissed as on Absinthe at new years! was bloody hilarious!.
