Week for bike and more bike

As it turns out, the buying and selling of the x-9 and the new super four, both turns out to be little more complicated than expected.

Over last weekend, there were several interested parties calling up to check out the bike. Had a couple of viewings on last sunday and the following Tuesday. Now keeping my fingers crossed that the deal can come through.

The new super 4 is great! except that when I was supposed to have collected it on monday, turned out that the previous owner had modified the exhaust pipe and the bike sounded like a coughing ah pek. So after making hell out of a noise and refusing to collect the bike. The shop agreed to change the exhaust pipe for me.

And so on Wednesday was collection day again. Switching on the engine, the sound of the bike seems better but still was far of the performance one would expect of a bike so reputated to be the best in its class. I was super reluctant to accept it. I stared at the bike and test it again and again. The sales person was helpless, trying to assure me that they will fix up the bike good should I not be happy with the performance. Their lady boss, also came and give her personal assurance. Taking the bike back for a 2 days test.

The engine did indeed have strange behaviour and it is super weak at low RPMS. So Friday sent it in again, and after fixing up the cabarator( the device for mixing air and fuel) It seems to be performing much much better.
