Help!! Anyone near Gisborne...

[Mom]

Well so far Auckland have top marks for response times, accommodation and delivery speed.
Unfortunately while getting bonus points for a quick turnaround and getting me back on the road quickly, your bike shop up there looses a few points for having it break down again within 3 days!

Stay tuned for final scores at the end of the week!


Well you know... gotta bike life interesting!

We dont live in Auckland! How many times do we have to say it!........LOL

Travel safe mate, so pleased that the KB family has seen you safe along the way!

Dont forget the hug for that old fella down your way and give scummy a kick up the arse for me as well would you!

Same cyl eh? Using a second hand coil is not exactly a fool proof cure - so either the coil was faulty,or something is overloading it and making it fail.Was there signs of water in the plug tube again? Like the rust marks we saw on the first coil? Someone needs to put a scope on it when the next coil is fitted - you don't want it happening again.AECS are in Hastings and are one of the top diagnostic centres around....they do training courses.I used to work for the father of one of the guys there.You need someone who understands ignition systems.....and not many motorcycle mechanics do,they seem to be more performance centred,not diagnostic biased.

Shhhhhh, you are talking to someone (Wendy & Peter) that give out big time to other bikers, including helping to rescue young Jack in Auckland

I believe I heard a serious tongue in cheek in the "go home" comment, as for get a new bike, hmmmmm they will keep!

Bummer Jack, seems this was a better than planned way to meet a few Kiwibikers!

Hope this one is not too expensive. Your bike did drop a bit of oil at ours the other day FWIW. Hope I should not have said that earlier

it could of come from your oun trumpy you know

[Mrs Busa Pete]

That isn't very charitable. If you were stuck in the middle of nowhere on your bike, you'd be grateful for all the help you got! The guy is out on an adventure! Giving up isn't an option...

He can't exactly head home if his bike isn't going! They are in the middle of nowhere! Give him a break...

kiwi biker is not a place to be sensative .most post on here are 40% cheek 60% concern

Na, I park it indoors, so thats where the oil from my bike is...

[helenoftroy]

That "demented wasp on meths" is being rather badly behaved!!

Hope the coil prob can be sorted properly

Awesome KBers to the rescue....isnt it great.

To think when I left you in Kaikoura that maha man & Mom were the only KBers you were planning to meet in the North Island......

[Delphinus]

Well I got the bike to gisborne, and same coil blown same way as last time... (note late one was 2nd hand) From what we can find, it appears all earth contacts are fine, but its quite advanced in there... so not sure 100%.

Have ordered a new coil from oz... but due to easter means the courier company cant get it here till tuesday!!!

[Grub]

Have ordered a new coil from oz...

I just went into the Napier Triumph dealer on the off-chance. But no. And they've already been asked by the Gissy shop. Triumph coils are model-specific, they say. And no, none in NZ.
Bit of a disaster all round really.
