Goodbye Welly, hello Chch

[Sniper]

Good to see you guys had a safe trip.

On a side note, fireliv, In my opinion, the best place to take your bike to be looked at is Street and Sport in Manchester St

Several friends have had bad experiences with the mechanics there and will not go back. I'd always recommend Duane Brown at Duanes Bikes and Skis on Waterloo Rd. He is the best and once you've been there once you won't want to go elsewhere.

Oh, I haven't been back here in ages! But I am now in Christchurch, studying at UC. It's pretty sweet down here.

I haven't got a bike, except for one of the un-motorised variety. That's keeping me in enough thrills for now.

switch to reserve after 130Km of travel! Before the carbs we done it was around 160 (Which is still not good), so not very impressed. Plus there is black smoke, backfires and lack of idle,

crap, thats not very good now is it hope it was nothing I did

mind you it was smoking before hand.....

Tris took it and got it booked in at Sports Zone Suzuki. But she is in a bad way.
Unfortunatly wasp it may ahve been something we did cos when Boyles picked it up the other day they noted that when they got it going it was only firing on 1 cylinder, and the slowly the others started. Oh well, shit happend so we just gotta try and get it sorted

bugger

how much was it used after we pulled the carbs apart? just the trip to silverstream and back that night?

edit: if there is anything i can do just say - my bandit will probably be for sale at turners in the near future so plenty of parts

Welcome to ChCh guys. When you feel like meeting the local nutters shout out you want to go for a ride / drinks sometime.
Hope you're settling in fine. Good luck with getting the bandit sorted. Was it a recent import? Bad fuel can upset them a bit. R1 Madness @ Just motorcycles - Bowhill rd has had a bit to do with them & Duane bikes is another good place to go.

[fireliv]

Its all good wasp, we will sort it. It got used that night to silverstream, then tris used it round town on mon and tues. We had it running like an hour before it decided not to go.

Thanks SDU, will get in touch when bikes all running and Tris has his here. Thanks for the bike advice, will check them out sometime
