Thanks, really puts a smile on my face when I get comments on the bike... especially seeing some of the bikes on here! Love the bike to pieces and will always be with me but looking at doing my test in the summer... wanting to take the ladies for a ride and my little LC's is a ride alone bike lol  Thinking about a nice 350 YPVS with a set of expansions... got to be a 2 stroke anyway and nothing new I know that much lol |

ok so small update, not been riding her much due to the no lights issue but finally been up today to have a little play. Did have a look at the flywheel but didnt have the tools to lock it so didnt take it off... will take it up to my dads Sat and have a look what hes got. Anyway, Small update but makes me feel better (this ones been annoying me for a while now!), not that I've used her much! if it rains its not ridden and not got much time at the moment either, seeing my girlfriend and car take up a fair bit of my attention but will be doing my bike test this year!   bottom right KM/h and then theres the top 2 with broken pins... hmm (top right original)  Snapped rev-meter   Hmm.... that shouldnt be out! Hence why the pin snapped   broken spring - right  new bulbs fitted  And back together  Clocks bracket before  After And thats it, flywheel coming off this Sat all being well to see whats what |

Cheers, I'm more than happy with it now... The pin only broke like a month back and havent ridden the bike much but its annoyed the hell out of me knowing its sat in my garage faulty! The electrical issue will be sorted soon and the standard indicators back on, then I'll be happy to just ride her |

They're only hexagon socket button heads.... Either they're E-bay specials or off my brother mate (cant actually remember!). I have a thing for stainless and titanium fixings my brother works at an exotic fasteners company lol |

Cheers, shes getting to my standard now... Shes not mint but not wanting that anyway, its much loved but is still going to be a bike to be used. Shes going to get me through my test this year probably not the best to learn on with the micron on but wheres the fun in the standard pipe (I've got the stock exhaust still though). |

Cheers, I love the bike to bits... was (meh, and still is) my first true love I'm looking to pass my bike test this summer and was looking at bigger LC's but dont like the price tag... got to be a 2 stroke 350-350cc ishhh late 1980's / 1990's bike... Would love a RD YPVS but the baby LC isnt going anywhere |

Update took me a while to find one due to how rare and expensive these are now but finally sorted out the charge issue-  extractor  That doesnt look right lol  New against old (magnets)  New one seems to have had a type-o at the factory??  Coils removed - New right, old left  Yep, thats a bit dead  For people's interest, this is where you can replace one crank seal (in my experience this is the more common one to go too), if the seal goes you will have running problems. And then back together again-  |

Cheers for the comments had her on the road when I was 18 (8 going on 9 years ago now!), been stood ages and kept saying "next year I'll get her on the road when the weathers nice" finally got her on the road 8 years later lol. Shes still going strong and finally sorted out the charging issues! Its such a fun little nippy bike... can throw it around and its powerband if fun. Those coils were the most expensive thing I've spent on her, other than that its not had much spent at all. |
