watch out for any burnt plastic electrical components as the residue can be cancer inducing very bad stuff :(

Runs home to check that his bike is still there...

I assume the fire was caused by the GHDs the previous owner kept in the pillion seat...

thinking about it i should beleive anything he told me considering i rode the bike with slightly binding breaks , just failed MOT on them so he told me he would sort them .... so after its Moted i get a phone call saying the bikes ready and i go pick it up .. i get 5 iles down the road and somthing pulls out in front of me , i go to use the break and nothing , not a thing . im theres thinking wtf ,

anyway i get home and strip the fron breaks down and THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!Image

you might not see it very well but they are chockablock with copper grease .. matey who i got it off basicly pulled pads out and chucked grease on em so that the brake testing machine wouldnt record the drag and there for passed . its ok now tho ImageImage

after put the new pads in and cleaned everything i toiok her for a spin and BRAKES WORK its a miracle lol so i took her back and gave her a good clean .ImageImage
