    I thought the switch had to be sprayed on the other side for the contacts? Or is it just the mechanisms giving you grief?

    Bought myself a cbr1100xx Blackbird last week , the previous owner was over it when the clutch failed so he bought another bike and called me
    As I have a “I buy bikes as in gumtree”


    I checked the clutch fluid and it was empty , I put some new fluid in it and it bled up nicely.

    All it needed was a rear Tyre , rear brake pads and fork seals, today we did all that and I think I she is ready for a Rwc.

    I remember that bike, Phil took it in for rego after we fixed it up and there was a police action against it , turns out the old owner didn’t surrender the plates when she moved from new to qld , it rode beautifully. Speaking of zzr”S , I have a nice 2005 model I am wrecking :)

    Someone once warned me about buying old wrecker stock: it's the stuff no one wanted and why they still have it. But some vinduro, vinmx, collectable and cafe racer interest has increased, so old stock might be worthwhile, again.
