you will also need to send a photo of your self, and the comment above about paying day membership will not apply as once you have your licence, you will be able to ride at most acu meetings in your area.
I am sure you will not have lost your money, the ACU licence department are quite on the ball and they are very quick at getting the completed applications processed.
Unfortunately you bought a very neglected bike to start with, so probably paid a little too much for it. You rarely get back the money you spent out on what are basicly service items.
I would say £1000 maybe £1100
Beware the next time you buy a bike, at least you now know all the points to look at before you part with your cash.
My golden rule, never do any work on the bike the day before a trial unless its absolutely necessary. normal service stuff is ok but don't investigate things like suspension.
The reason I asked about Joan Westbrook is that she still rides that BSA in our local events and she is in her 70's. She has been ill for a while and Sidcup club recently had a fundraising event at their British bike trial for her ( cancer charity) and she still managed to take part on her BSA.
I have to agree with Dadof2 , it is not that common for the impeller to strip out and to have it happen twice to the same bike suggests there is a problem that's causing it to happen.
But when you buy a used bike, you take a gamble, I don't think you should be liable for any repairs. (not in this country anyway)
Have you looked at it, I am pretty sure its only a thermo contact switch, that should unplug and unclip. You shouldn't have to drain the coolant . unless the Raga is totally different to the other Gassers.
Hi. I had a similar problem with mine a while ago, the chain was very noisy even after doing the sdjustment procedure, I removed the fly wheel to take a look at the bottom of the adjuster to make sure it was doing what it should, i found a hair line crack in the flexible part of the tensioner that runs on the chain, after replacing this part I have a quiet engine again.
You should really change the fixed chain guide too but this requires the head to be removed so that bit can wait for now.
By chaniging this part you can also check the adjust locking wedges are present and correct.
Good selection on that clip, It looked like most of those guys had convinced themselves that the weren't going to make it over the rocks before they got there.
