Well havnt updated this in ages cause I havnt realy done anything to the vxr just abusing it tbh not washing ect as I was using my van but now ive took the van off the road for the winter ive started using it again , was all good till last friday when it decided to break down just before I was spose to be at the hospital anyway got it back and been trying to fix it
First I found that the rocker cover gasket has been leaking for what looks like forever and it had actually filled the spark plugs half way shorting my coil pack out so that was my cutting out prob sorted.

Next was a intermitant starting fault which I think is the cim but apparently mines allready been recalled for this changed the starter anyway as it sounded like sticky starter but still the same so stripped down the cim and found the squib ribbon snaped in half so that why my horn, steering wheels controls dont work and its why my airbag light is constantley on .

Then ive been hearing a banging by my feet for a few days had a quick look and found the o/s wishbone bushes and ball joint about to fall out so had to replace this aswell
So no money for mods now lol
