During the ride down to Auckland on saturday evening my gearbox decided to play up a bit...jumping out of 4th gear.
The boys thought I may've had a loose chain so we tightened it sunday morning before the Coro Loop ride but to no avail which buggered me off no end obviously.
Made for some interesting moments during mid sweepers whilst having a fang on those beautiful roads.
So the bike's in at the shop getting sorted at the mo and I maybe without a scooter for up to 3 weeks as it is the first ZX10 to have this issue in NZ so parts may be a while away :mellow:

Sadly??? yeah....they loaned me one of their Buells last week when I got its(ZX's) 18000km service.
I didn't see the problem in me doing 250kms on the Buell and chewed the rear tyre but there ya go then :innocent:

Mate sorry to hear, was without my bike for a week and a half, back on the road today, my (Regulator Rectifier) shit it self, was cheaper to get one From the UK than buy one here, so didn't mind the wait, but missed a few rides thou. just hope it is only three weeks Tops, don't want to be without a bike over Xmas.

Bugger Chris.
I would be checking ZX10 portals to see if other users are experiencing the same issues.
If they are buy a Honda.

No way sonny boy you can be without your wheels for that long :no:

Surely you can prevail upon them to arrange to air freight parts, hardly your fault that this is not a problem they have encountered before........

as for the loan bike thing.......it must have had a dud tyre for it to flog out like that :innocent:

and I am sure the speedo reads wrong, they should get that tested! :done:

Maha
22nd November 2006, 16:38
Just ask to take a bike of your choice for a test ride.....:yes:
Dont think there is any time restraints on how long you will be test riding?
3 weeks seems about right to me, then take the fucker back with a confused look and tell them...'' it can't even keep up with a Triumph ''.....:scooter:

After waiting what felt like an eternity my bike is finally back where it should be...downstairs on the carpet awaiting for the weather/babysitters to get sorted so I can take her out for a decent strop around the loop(Whangarei/Kawakawa/Opononi/Waipoua Forest/Dargiville/Whangarei) on saturday :first:

A HUGE thanks to those who've loaned me bikes to get through this difficult period,especially CaN. Mate...you're a legend I tell ya sir...appreciate it.
Thought I'd celebrate a bit too so have put a lovely wee hugger on her...chain guard coming

Roll on Saturday! :scooter:

A pleasure sir. Now remember, when clutchless shifting - roll off (NOT on) the power as you snick it (NOT kick it) into gear.
