Well grinding noise and the loss of first and second gears (this made me come to a grinding halt) I had been having a few minor problems with the gearbox/clutch thinking i may need a new cable i tried adjustment all to no avail (britwarrior on hand as always) so i thought i would give it a ride after a bit more adjustment and it all went pete tong piled into a round about meaning to gear down and sweep through with style and SHITEEEEEEEEEEE NO CAN DO to late to grab a hand full of brake wizzed in front of a car ( insert long blasts on car horn and hand signals from the driver all to the sounds of tyres screeching) and i sailed over at about 65mph much to my suprise without crashing pulled over in time to be called a F*&kING W£N*KER by the said driver of the car that had just lost a 1000 miles of rubber off his tyres at the roundabout, then the car behind stopped to tell me he was going to report me for dangerous driving (now as you all know i am a mild mannerd little lad, and took my telling of rather well from the poor sod i had cut up, but this one had to be told to f88K OFF as he was no were near, glad to say he did as he was told) anyway down to what had happened i had lost first and second gear on the bike why i don,t know so i ride home in 3/4/5 and she is happy to do it.
Called a mate from a bike shop and he came and gave her a look over after i was sure it was not the clutch by this stage (at this stage Steve started sucking his teeth and my wallet went into meltdown ) "well what do you think it is, say I" its got to be internal says he. BOLLOX (YOU CAN GUESS WHO SAID THAT)
Well i am pretty pissed off as it is only 11 months since all the recalls were done and nothing should be wrong so i am on the phone like lighting to cheltenham yamaha who did the work, I speak to Rick and he says BOLLOX after a brief sitrep on what happend can you get it to us YUP said i so off to van hire i go and off to cheltenham with the beast dropped off and back home.
3 days later i have a missed call on my phone and have to ring Rick back HI Rick whats the damage (in a voice dripping with gloom and doom)
Rick (in an up beat voice and sounding like he laid kylie cute *** minogue last night) all done mate you can have her back.
WHAT was wrong the gear shifter had RUSTED inside and was stopping her down shifting.
Well they took it off cleaned it all back greased it all up put it back together and i said how much do i owe you Rich said have it on me free i am just glad it was not a total rebuild.
SO GUYS the moral of this story is they are not all STEALERSHIPS OUT THERE,AND, AND ITS A BIG AND DO NOT JETWASH A BLOODY WARRIOR AS THATS HOW THEY THINK THE WATER GOT INSIDE TO START THE RUST.
ONCE AGAIN TO ALL AT CHELTENHAM YAMAHA THANKYOU AGAIN
