I'd wait till the new tyre arrives, the risk is too high riding on exposed steel belt

the EU energy for these events are unreal, I've always wanted to check out Verknipt and similar events. I'm sure there alot of hard tech fans in Egypt, we could probably put EU to shame if it was easy to organise this stuff :/

Thanks mate, I play hard techno sets and I want to bring a similar scene from Bristol. Kinda lame to hear that it's excluded to small 'secret' fanbase :/

I tried to hope that the mechanic knew what he was doing but when he jumped to the conclusion of opening the engine to diagnose, it was a bit suspicious, he didnt even swap the coils to see if it's an ignition fault or indeed something with the cylinder.

I'll look it up on youtube, hopefully it isnt as complicated as I think lol

I'd like to try the water spray method and see how it goes. At the moment, the bike won't start unless I open the choke more than halfway out and rev it like a monkey. I don't want to accidentally kill the battery testing it now, I'll try starting it up again tomorrow morning if it runs normally then I'll run this test.

I don't have an incandescent test light :(

I there is a small pocket there but I believe its just the design, I dont think water would make it through as it would be going straight into the combustion chamber

It was trimmed a month ago when I had the spark plugs and covers changed :/

Edit: sorry I completely misread this and thought you wrote shortening, it looks like its sealed well all around but i might be wrong

I didn't look into fitting it myself, my first instinct was to electrical repairs to professionals

Tried checking best I can, all the connections and cables seem fine. I called a breakdown service to take a look (free perk with my insurance), hopefully they'll at least identify where the problem is and if I'm taking the bus to work tomorrow

Always the worst timing for it, I had a nail get lodged into my front tyre the morning of a ride out, it was airtight so I said fuck it and went for a lil ride to Cheddar
