I'm at work today, could do with the break even though I've just had 3 weeks off

Kev what a mess, has the damage been completely contained, ie inside the starter and not the engine? Is this a problem in particular with the 4C8 R1, I've seen this a few times on that particular motor, but I'm not aware other bike engines do this whilst spinning

Yup its just the starter motor.


I think its common to bike engines if u don't get the clutch in before the car starts going backwards which I didn't.

I think they are always in gauged unlike car starters


So not to bad I took starter off there and emptied the bits out so it ran freely then I could drive it home after getting a bump start

Kev.........

If I'm wrong someone will be along soon to say so lol

Ive done five hours this morning. They wont pay double and a day in lue but double is better than nout. Would have gone to watch the stock car racing if the weather was better but I cant be arsed with a wife and kids moaning there cold


coozer - 4/6/12 at 01:31 PM

Not me, managed to wrangle it so my 45 hour rest period was today and tomorrow

I'm sat in my control room surrounded by every flu remedy the shop would sell me, coughing like a braying donkey, trying not to be sick, even though I havn't eaten anything since last Monday. I'm freezing cold yet dripping in sweat. But I came int to work as it was better than having SWIMBO and the kids doing whatever they could to annoy me....


fullpint - 4/6/12 at 02:08 PM

I may pop in tomorrow.. Thats the only down-side of having your own business No one pays me for bank holidays so I should pop in just for a few hours


MikeCapon - 4/6/12 at 02:15 PM

Busy at work over here building shocks I'm happy to say...


Jon Ison - 4/6/12 at 02:18 PM

Stuck on the beach in turkey, luckily free wifi by beach bar, just about copeing.


morcus - 4/6/12 at 02:44 PM

mcerd1 - 4/6/12 at 02:53 PM

I was like that wednesday, only lasted a day, but turned into foot and mouth! The magic of having kids...
