    Between txtspk and semi literacy and missing such things as year, mileage and owners/service history I crung when I read "needs nothing" or "won't be faulted" ��

    I really hope facebook isn't the future for selling, I deleted my account a few years ago. Seems to be popular for bicycles too.

    That meme wasnt aimed at you by the way, was just sharing it.

    Any bites yet? I'd say as lockdown starts to ease and now the season is back you'll sell it before the summer. I find it very easy to sell a car or bike if its up for the right price but last year I sold 2 cars and it was tough going, despite the current prices on the bike market, my mate practically gave away a K6 SV last month because he'd already bought his new bike and they're usually an easy sell. Unless you're in a hurry to sell it be patient and you'll find a buyer.

    Yeah - if it comes to it I can still get the new Monster and still hold on to this one until it sells. Selling this bike is like selling one of my dogs.

    Considering the price of bikes these days a fella could do a lot worse than this.

    Dad took either one of these or the 850 across South America, he really liked them at the time.
    But he's moved onto a lighter bike now for when going on solo trips

    AHH f*CK. Was hoping to get in on the pot.


    Clutch lever burst a seal on the way home today and spewed oil all over me and the bike. They came and collected it and I asked them to give me a refund. No arguments.

    Tell me about it. That clutch went on the way home from handing back a Merc that we had for 12 hours before the engine went. So all in all a crap day ! Oh and it's my birthday.

    Thats a bad run of luck alright, shouldn't have sold your soul to you know who :)
    Is the Adventure still going after they replaced the engine (thnk it was the engine?) Or has that gone by the wayside?

    Nope, the GSA is still going strong. Took it out of hibernation yesterday and had a blast on it. After 4 months of it resting on an Abba stand it was like having a new bike all over again. Getting back on a bike after that long is a great feeling :)

    Yep, the master cylinder went about 2 months ago, and now the clutch lever.

    Turns out the previous owner put brake fluid in the clutch instead of mineral oil.

    does the clutch lever and clutch bowl share the same oil?

    I've no experience with Hydraulic clutches, I've seen kits for the F650 and DR650 but they take dot4 and just plug and play where the cable connects to on the clutch bowl (completely un-needed unless you put super heavy clutch springs into the bike).

    Which of course would be fine on ANY other make, and even some KTMs, but no, this one requires Motorex Swiss Baby Tears... and what is wrong with a cable anyway :)

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.
