we had 3 bikes stolen from Grangemouth a few months back it was guys from Bo,ness they were running about in a silver corsa kc52 ubu parks up in Mingle place. we got 2 of the bikes back, the little get will still have my fingerprints on his throat. bikes were found covered with branches behind the academy in Bo ness, well worth a look.
Hi mate had the same problem with my sherco 290 2011, the fault was that the rings had been jammed in the grove as the piston had picked up on the barrel, take the down pipe off and have look up the bore, cost me over
If the shaft section is ok, you can make up the lever section out of steel, made 1 out of ree bar (steel bar used in concrete) for a mates gasser not had any problems with it saved him £100. only thing different was a weight. starter are made from cast alloy, very hard to weld.
Hi my mate has a good 315r think its a 2001, its just had a new set of rings fitted and just been serviced, bog bone & wheel bearings were recently done, the bike has never let him down. he is lookin for around £850. if you pm me i could pass on his number for photos etc. SCOTLAND,CENTRAL AREA
