Last weeks fun included my exhaust breaking at the manifold...Cue limping home with it tied up with copper welding cable sounding like a steam tractor. Got it off this week and was charged the princely sum of £10 to weld the entire circumference of the exhaust..Was so embarrassed, gave the guy £20 for his trouble. (Yes, I am fully Scottish..) The bike is back to full fitness, maybe next time it starts popping and farting I'll actually have a look instead of thinking ...This is cool...:Wacky: What's been your cheapest (permanent fix)?
bored out a pe175 barrel that was nicasil? coated and fitted a dt175 piston. worked fine for all the time i had it.
Replacement exhaust spring courtesy of my dealer £45. No, not really, he gave it to me for a couple of quid. Broken gear selector spring, £5. Fitting it, £250 . Bargain
cut the ends of a red bull can and wedged and wired it into the snapped in half exhaust on my old escort van. just to get me home... but turned out it was good for about 8 months of every day use. till mot time.
