I killed my bike today

[KLOWN]

I have also found myself out and about when my clutch cable broke on the rg150 and the only way I could go with out stalling it was to ram it into to gear at about 7000rpm, I was surprised when it lifted the front wheel a bit. Went to the local bike shop and relayed my story and they said you just push it first to get the bike rolling then put it into gear then you don;t need the hight revs and the extra stress it puts on your bike. I felt so stupid, I shoulda thought of that one

Rock into Treads, they have no idea what my chain is, they have never seen the brand before (not supprising, it's the stock chain) .. sooo .. i have to fork out $175 for a new chain!.

Eh? Far as I know chains are a standard item. Come in specific sizes. Like tyres. A master link (of any brand) should fit any brand chain of the same size. Admittedly haven't had to search through my box of spare links in quite a while, and maybe some stupid prat has decided to ignore the standards.

Thats what i thought .. looks like the koreans wanted to be a little different. i've still got the old chain, i'll grab a link from my dealer and i'll have a spare

Yea bit of bad luck mate, definitely go with what WINJA said and get a peened link. My old 250 use to eat those clip links bike shop said it should have a peened one not clip. And hey it fixes the problem easy.

Also for Sunhuntin, even if you take an extended warranty it wont cover anymore than the normal warranty. And normal warranties dont cover wearable items such as chains and lights if its bulbs or depending how the light had broken. The regulator should be covered as it shouldnt break simply.

Right, lets see Swanny start saying that ZXR's and CBR's are piece of shit bikes now!!! Never had this problem when they were new, or even now 15 years on...and Hysosung copped one in the first year of existence.

Sorry to hear about your run with the bike mate, hope she is all good for you now. I would take that back to the dealership where you bought that bike from...pretty piss poor quality.

ENTER SWANNY STAGE LEFT...

The clutch cable was my own fault, when i was down in wellington a mate reckoned it was really stiff and that i should give it a lube and i didn't, :slap:

Yeah, but what did he have to say about the clutch cable?
