Hello All,

I have just joined.
Im 25 from the midlands and have owned my Cat for 2 years now.
Shes the best bike ive ever had and see no reason to swap her.

We went to the TT back in 2010, which was brilliant and so was the bike.

Failed her MOT last year and hasnt been on the road since. However, I have had some bonus money from work so the work is commencing to get her on the road again.

Hope there is some useful info on here for me.

Off to look around now.

Talk soon
Carl

Welcome and hope it gets through its MoT this time

Hi and welcome.

Hopefully the work to get through the MoT wont cost much or take too long.

Thanks guys...

Well first off the front and rear suspension needs replace/rebuild.

MOT said that the down pipes were leaking....

Just been down to take fairings off and its not good news

Down pipes are like teabags....that ok i can replace, HOWEVER!!

One of the stud bosses is missing....theres not thread in the head either!!! lord only knows what im going to do

Hi Carl and welcome - I am sure some of the forum's experts will be along shortly with their suggestions/ fixes.

Cheers
Billy

Hi Carl,

Dave

Hi, welcome, hope you are able to get everything sorted without toooo much trouble.

Hi & welcome carl.

Do you mean exhaust stud/bolt when you say boss? if so an experienced technician or engineer should be able to get it out there are many different ways of tackling them.

Hi Paul,

I mean the 'lug' or lump of material the stud screws into has sheared off.

I can extract broken studs no problem....(being an engineer!) but i cannot fix this :(

Hi and welcome to the forum, sounds like a mare with the down pipes, there's a wealth of experience on here who should be able to help with the tech side. I have recent experience with suspension issues so may be able to help ....... But I ain't promising anything!!

Welcome to the forum, hope you get it all sorted soon!

Hi and welcome to the forum. There's loads of info for you in here as I'm sure you are aware. Have a good trawl through old posts in the Pit Stop Section and don't be afraid to do some "searches"
