everything should be closed tomorrow, how much have you been quoted for the cable?

Im pretty sure that if you gat your mums dress making tape,
wander out to betty and measure her hot lead,
that you could walk to the nearest garage and get an automotive HT lead thats just say 10mm longer.
For say $5?
Wander off home, with said lead,
Get mums dress making scissors, chop off the end of the lead you dont need, that is if you have to ,
And put the fire back into betty
Simple?
Na really complicated and totally the domain of and aurthorised money grabber, er um mechanic
Anybody else agree?
Oh and ther are some garages that still sell automotive parts , which are open 24/7
To be old and wise, first you must be young and stupid.

Well i have to take betty out tonight, so crash start, kick start fucking smack her with a bat til she starts, start i need to get her going. I'll take the tank off again tomorrow and check the ht lead, i'll see if any garages are open tomorrow. I've been quoted 30 - 40 dollars for a lead.

Sounds like its replaceable thenOriginally Posted by Drider87
Just take that down to the auto sparky/repco (go see shingo, he's out behind wild west honda) or whatever, and get a new lead. They probably sell it by the metre, and for 10cm might not even charge you
And, while you're at it, GET A BLOODY MANUAL IF YA DONT HAVE ONE, ITS NOT HARD! Google reveals this on our very own KB: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=29991 It'll even have a troubleshooting section, perfect for testing that lead if we've led you down the wrong path (I am led to believe that the lead is faulty because you had no spark until you wiggled the cable a wee bit, and that you now have no spark again (why the thread has this title))
Heres another bit for you:

I have a bloody manual! It is bloody useless, doesn't tell ya shit. Doesn't tell ya how to remove fuel tank or change spark plug etc
Scotsman on a German
My missus used to have an RG150e - only aware of it breaking down 3 times. First time - ran out of petrol (riding it back from where I bought it) - solution - fill her up
Second Time - clutch cable snapped - got a new clutch cable for a few bucks
Third Time - ran out of petrol (new owner that just bought it) filled it up - al good again.
Nice bikes and a great wee commuter - I used to commute 26kms each way through Auckland on one.
In space, no one can smell your fart.

Apart from the cable snapping, nothing much has gone wrong, bulbs blew and stuff. I'm sure it's just a bloody wire somewhere aye thats jiggled loose.

they don't "need" toI have a bloody manual! It is bloody useless, doesn't tell ya shit. Doesn't tell ya how to remove fuel tank or change spark plug etc
as far as suzuki is concerned, that stuff should be done by one of their trained mechanics.
that's why there's owners manuals and then there's workshop manuals...
get the workshop manual and it's got exploded diagrams of every part of the bike, labelled with names, service intervals, tolerances and part numbers. invaluable if you go to do anything to the engine
still doesn't tell you how to do anything, but gives alot of hints as to how you go about it
mind you, nothing like surprise springs behind sump plugs and circlips you can't see holding things together (or better yet, nothing holding things together so you spend hours looking for nothing before you give up and find a hammer)
"when all else fails, get a hammer. if that doesn't work, read the manual"
Doesn't play well with others
And things behind covers on the wrong side of the bike?

Rofl, does she leak at all after you pinched some gasket goop?And things behind covers on the wrong side of the bike?
Forum whore
yes, especially things behind covers on the wrong side of the bikeAnd things behind covers on the wrong side of the bike?
combined with murphies law, you get oil leaks
opening the correct one first, not recognising that was what we wanted and proceeding to open the wrong one and creating that leak, and then getting the manual and seeing the firing/TDC marks were on the first bit we opened was probably not the best way to go about it
well, it is if you want to get home by 5am
bloody suzukis

Only a little bit, but I threw on a new gasket and she runs beaut (read "dry").

I always thought it was "when all else fails, get a hammer. If that doesn't work get a bigger hammer""when all else fails, get a hammer. if that doesn't work, read the manual"
It seems to work for most home mechanics i've talked to
