    I got myself a nc24 5 months ago. I new it would need a bit of work.
    I stripped EVERYTHING excluding the motor. re-sprayed everything sprayable , new cotrole cables(clutch +acc) brakes ,shocks,seals , bushes, you name it- all but the motor.

    now im sitting with a grey import(with a totally dismantled motor), lookin for spares and sudgestions for the following problems.
    1- charging issues- its has more moods than a woman thru menopouse
    2- I ran #4 big-end bearing- do I get a new motor or replace the needed crank and conrod ,mains and big-end bearings.

    3- anybody know who would be a reliable souce for spares ( pref UK and States)

    4- lookin for a workshop book.

    Thanks a million
    Simon
