First topic message reminder :

hi
my names Andy from sunny Essex
I ride a fazer 600 and an AJP ultrapasser on the green lanes.

I have joined the forum as I currently have 2/3rds of a thundercat that I am breaking,
I am not an dealer, I am not here to make loads of money, I will be advertising the parts on ebay when I get chance so this forum is not vital to me. I am a member on the fazer forum so come and have a look

but I do have nearly everything else including
rear wheel with disc and usable tyre, SOLD
good fuel tank no dents but some light scratches SOLD

I don't know make me an offer remember that the cover for the starter motor is missing but everything else is there
did you want the carbs as well ?

Cheers Andy I'm not in need of an engine (hopefully) but was just wondering how much you were looking for it.

You say there is no starter motor cover - I need one of these (or maybe just fill/sand/paint mine. Where can you buy these guys? They seem really rare :(

I cant help with one but I am guessing this is the first bit to hit the deck, I would suggest using a good quality liquid metal, I know some of its good enough to drill and tap threads in

Yeah I'm about to resort to doing that. I would much rather just buy a shiny one than repair mine though. Although, a friend has just donated about 25sqm of prepreg carbon fibre, and I have most of the kit to use it. Maybe I could do a fast fix and then cover it in carbon. Anyone any experience at doing this?

I have carbon covers on mine, can't help with how to do it I bought ready made ones from Germany. Andy, I'll send you a PM about the engine.

I have just stripped every last rubber grommet and fixing off of the frame so if theres any bits you need give me a shout

Hi Andy,

Would be interested in the indicators although I am after a front pair. Anyone know if they are interchangeable with the rears?

Also how much for rear wheel? Mainly interested in the disc brake...

And any chance you have the mirror floating about?

Cheers

do you have front wheel and rear indicators ??

Andy is a great guy to deal with, looking forward to receiving my parcel this week.

Thanks Andy

Thanks Andy, engine received was well crated.
Fitted to the bike and runs well

pleased everything was o.k, you didn't hang around with fitting that
I was told that it was a good engine by the previous owner and he is rather anal about stuff. but I had never heard it run myself so I did not try to oversell it if you know what I mean

I'd have done it on Thursday had the gasket arrived. I used a DIY motorcycle facility in London and wanted to get it done before the city woke up after the holidays and the roads were back to being clogged up. Mine was running on 3 cyl if I was lucky, had issues getting up the driveway, so 40 odd minutes in start stop traffic could have been too much.

Was a nervous moment when it was time to push the start button, however before I started dismantling the bike we made sure the engine turned and did a compression test.
When all together, the starter was pressed and it nearly caught the first time. Roared into life on the second press - what a relief.
The resident mechanic tried to scare me by saying the cam chain was noisy, I suggested we wait till the oil had a chance to fill the engine, sure enough it quietened down.

I'm not so sure an engine change is recommended for a first attempt at self spannering - I've not even changed the oil or plugs on the 'cat before, so rather a bit of baptism of fire.
