First thing I did was take the kill switch off, nothing...not even a pop. There's no spark at the plug. Tried new plug and cleaning earth and connections on coil...nothing. I had done one lap of sections, refilled fuel, couple more sections completed. then stopped to walk a section and would not start...not a pop.
Not found anything on a search, I guess they usually don't go wrong much. Is there anything that commonly goes wrong wrong on older bikes? mine is the first 05 model.
I did my 4RT recently. I got it sat on a sturdy stand, if you can strap the bike to the stand all the better. Take lots of pics on your phone as you disassemble. Good luck
Yes indeed, and the bikes are leaning more than mine does. Tomorrow will be the definitive answer when I look at other bikes.
Heat and a bloody great vice should do it. I couldn't move it cold. Trouble is, I then have the rub it all back to bare metal and repaint it. But, such is life.
Surely if you straiten it out it will be longer. I would have thought cutting a piece out would be the fix.
My bike doesn't fall over as much since I put Magical springs in the forks...ground clearance has increased, maybe that's your issue or wrong rear shockers?
I tried "adjusting" it this evening. It didn't want to know! I gave up because I thought any more force and I would damage something. I'll have a look at someone elses at the trial this weekend.
Think mine is strait. I did wonder(because it's strait) if it had been a DIY job after the OE got damaged.
Yours looks very similar to mine except yours has a crank in it. I recon someone had done to stop it catching on rocks.
They are only a bit of light weight tube and will fracture if messed with too much.
I have to be careful where I leave my 200, bit of wind or soft ground has it over. Think the foot could do with being slightly bigger and a shorter length would help.
How about covering painted areas with some strips of electrical tape or similar while trying to fit parts together....no chipped paint.
Sounds like a plan. They are very tight and fiddly, I really didn't think I'd get it out without taking the head off, and then thought about getting it back in...much easyer.
Thing is...getting back in without chipping the new paint. I'm doing mine at the moment, took the head off for that reason. Glad I did now as the bolts are full of oil, think it's been blowing from head and or base gasket. Im hoping it just wasn't torqued up right.
Stiff folks? Totally opposite to what I found on my 200 when I first got it.
Maybe just way too much oil of too thick, big spacers in there. Careful the tops might hit you in the face when you undo em.
I replaced the(what I assumed)originals with Magicals and put enough 10w oil to stop the folks topping out, bit of trial and error required. If you get Magicals you will need the adjustable preload spacers they sell at the TY majesty place, or make some big spacers.
I've set mine with little of no preload and are quite bouncy now in comparison to the old setup.I find it much easier to pick the front wheel up now, I'm liking it so far.
4rt died half way though trial.

Ive looped out the bank angle sensor, fuel pump and fan is running ok.
I guess I need to read up on the throttle stop, sure I've come across a thread on hear on the subject.
