Selling a poor, broken lil bike....

[Str8 Jacket]

Hey people, Im just after opinions ATM.....

I presently have an A100, rego on hold. Cosmetically its pretty good for its age. It started running like pooh a while ago so I have recently had a rebore done and replaced the piston and rings, spark plugs etc unfortunately this didnt help its "pooh-ness".... It has a newish chain on it but its really just kind of your typical A100 (except its kinda pooh ATM).

It really bog's down and does no more than 40kph now and I have no idea whats causing it but I know that if the right person got their hands on it, it'd prob be mint!

Im not saying I AM selling it but im thinking about it. I dont ahve any idea of what I should be selling it for and I sure as hell dont want to rip anyone off!!

What I wanna know is what would you guy's sell this for if you owned it?

GIJOE1313 once said to me "The parts for A100 are still being produced in Taiwan"
Hence I think he bought pistons, valves and other parts for around $9 each? (not too sure).

There may be keen buyers if it goes on sell

P.S. CC Challenge is comming up

Yep, its definately not expensive to maintain BUT it's a bit hard when you dont know what the heck is wrong with it!
Its been sitting around now for months and I kind of need any spare money for something else now.....

...valves...

[Bonez]

Phoo phoo valves.

[Skunk]

Power valves.

If you can drag it to my place we'll have a look at it...

....valves....

Oh bugger...

BTT: If I were you, I would sell it listing up all the problems. Being honest, not like the guy who sold the FXR to me Cunt!

[quallman1234]

Surely malcolm would take it off your hands?

Sounds like needs a tune, decoke and it should run sweet. I'd be surprised if there is much wrong with it...

Fairy bullet proof wee bikes eh? A guy at the place I use to work with had one. Use to commute around 30kms a day. Because of the hot running he never had to do much to it at all apart from top up the fuel/oil and change the gearbox oil every now and again.

Ask Malcolm to hold the sparkplug whilst you do the kickstart thing. He'll have an erection for at least 5 minutes.

Cunt!

Goodness me, EJ, such language!

I rather suspect that KB's rubbing off on you a bit...

GiJoe1313 rode his back from shit-knows-middle-of-nowhere and seized it on the way. Once he unstuck it, the top speed increased 10kph relative to pre-seize. The hell!

I love Justin's one. Kewl bike.

Be a disc valve on that one wouldn't it?

There is very little can go wrong on those except points ignition set up and the electric bits that go with that, if its had new piston and rings already it will have been decoked in the head, leaving maybe only the exhaust to look at and the state of the aircleaner which on those was a paper element in the round can above the engine, or the carb.

We did talk a while ago about the state of the oil pump too given the problem the bike had with the piston, hopefully that's not an issue.

I blew a few pistons in spare engines I had for mine, all because I was running it on something I probably should not have been and ringing its neck to see how fast it would go. Quite possibly could have been the worlds fastest A100, but then I got my hands on a RD250LC and promptly got rid of my A100...
