bhima Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I must have done 10 hours now in my first week so went to clean filter only to find air box full of grit mud dust. Horror! Found 2 neat round holes far right side. I went mad at dealer. He said this is where tail light wiring used to go?!?! What shall I do now ?

nzralphy Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I'd say you'd be in your rights to hand the bike back to him and get him to replace piston, barrel, big and small end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ham2 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 he said ' it all gets blown out the exhaust'! Genius,that's right up there with the old:- ''Well they all do that Sir..''...C'mon you've got to name names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02-apr Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 he said ' it all gets blown out the exhaust'! No denying that - unfortunately it has to go through the motor first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
embalmer Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 No denying that - unfortunately it has to go through the motor first. what all the grit and dirt? lol no wonder it knocks and bangs. sounds like youve bought a lemon mate.

dan williams Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 No wiring goes through the airbox. That's BS. It's critical to seal the filter around the top of the box with some lithium grease. I'd be p****d (American definition not British definition) I suppose it's against TrialsCentral policy to tell us who this dealer is so they may be avoided.

blocky Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Probably not a good idea to give names but I'd love to know what dealer that was ! Reminds me of the time I bought a bike from a well known dealer along the Botley Road in Oxford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan williams Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Er wait a minute. Holes in the rubber mud guard? Yes that is where the tail light wires go through. They do not go through the airbox. Are the holes in the air box or just the mudguard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not go through the airbox. Are the holes in the air box or just the mudguard? The air box points back in a v-shape. The 2 holes are on the very tip on the right side of the air box. The engine has taken alot of sand dirt grit the carb was pretty bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhima Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 over reacting? just clean it and block the holes...get back to what you love doing...riding I could not get the air box off as bolts were rusted in but I gave it a good wash in situ. How do I clean the engine? Do I need to change oil b4 I go out again? I'm going to put silicon in the holes today and hope to ride tonight!
