YAY

[Magua]

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

I wasn't serious dude, note the "". But yeah, newer bike.

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?

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.

[Magua]

There she is.

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.

Mate,if these things are sent try us an they also build character.
You must be one hell of a trying character by now.

Sorry dude couldn't help it,just to easy

[cowpoos]

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 think your bike suffers because its a yamaha....

buy a suzuki or kawasaki....

It usually irritates me when people give one word titles to their threads. But with Magua you can always trust "question" or "yay" to somehow relate to how crap his bike is.

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

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.

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

[Magua]

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?

[Indiana_Jones]

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.....'...... f*ck-mook lol

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

THE WORLD'S FASTEST FIZZER!

[Magua]

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.

[Magua]

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

[aff-man]

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

[Ixion]

Yamaha wiring is crap in my experience

[Magua]

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.
