Skippy Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Would you believe it! Just wheeled it out of the garage in preparation for collection and the fucker started no problem whatsoever! FFS……maybe not a reg/rec issue then? Possibly a dodgy ignition? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't go anywhere on it as it is. But it could take a while with it being an intermittent fault.....like I had with the Picasso! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing I’ve just noticed is that the ignition switch sometimes doesn’t want to turn and not only that I can pull the key out while it’s running! Can you imagine that fucker coming out whilst I’m doing 120klm/h, I’d never find it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reestreno have got a couple but they're the earlier ones with 17" wheels. Everybody always says the 500X's are small (and in terms of cc they are) but it was surprising to see how much physically bigger it was than the FZ6. And not much different to the Tracer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried looking under the Spanish number plate to see if there's a UK one there, and do the frame and engine numbers match, a lot of bikes gone missing from here they must be somewhere LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
