[mud boy]

you may remember , that last week dad (ajturbo) took my new bike (DT175) to the bike shop to get it going...... wellllllll

I'M STILL WAITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it needed a new kick start leaver..... got that

it needed a new CDI unit ( what the hell is a CDI and what does CDI mean, and what does it do?? i have asked dad he didn't know much ... )

the first CDI unit didn't work,
the second one had a wire missing

fingurs crossed for the third one going in tomorrow.

i am PISSSSSED OFFFFFFFF ....



i want my bike NOW!!!!

CDI = little magical electrical box = C apacitor D ischarge I gnition (isn't really but they call it that). It makes the spark for the spark plug. No CDI, no spark.

Have patience. All things come to those that wait (No they don't actually. I've been waiting AGES for my Thruxton, and it hasn't come. D'you suppose it got lost in the mail ? )

[ajturbo]

hey thanks for that!!!

[Sparky Bills]

By the sounds of it, the shop is trying to find a 2nd hand CDI??

In this case, you just have to wait.
Unless you want to pay full retail for a new one???

Im sure they are doing everything they can to sort it for you, and not rip you off for the work. So its not really fair for you to be putting them down for helping you out.

Mud boy willl be at school now but kiddo time to fit some pedals methinks

I've got a young lad who comes in everyday to see if I've fixed his bike...but no,I haven't,and can't.Lucky he dosen't have access to a computer or he'd be stirring up shit about me on the internet.

True. We seem to expect everything to be done right now and it doesn't always work like that. Whilst I am bemoaning the fact that I haven't got my bike back yet - it's not the bike shops fault as most of the parts have to come from Japan. Now I'm anticipating the return of my beast looking like brand new again.
