Does anyone know about basic Motorbike assembly? |
Hi, I am looking to buy a new bike, and the supplier said they can post it but it comes with the front wheel & handlebars dissconnected. Does anyone know if this is easy to put together. I am fairly handy at this kind of stuff but have never done it on a vehicle that I am going to ride on the streets of london!! Does anyone know if I took it to a garage 'roughly' how much it would cost. Thanks Dannie If you have the instructions (or not) it shouldn't take more than 30mins including a tea and ciggy break providing you have the right tools. A pro would probably charge you 拢100+VAT but should include a post delivery check on the rest of the bike. by a book called "Zen and the art of motor bike maintenance" most bikes are shipped in a crate with the front disassembled. why take the chance of messing up?? let a quailified mechanice do it just for your peace of mind. remember you'll have to hook up all the cables and brake too..... but yes, you can do it yourself. get a manual first. If your not sure ... buy the relevant workshop manual for the bike... you'll need it anyway for basic maintanance and servicing.... It should be fairly straight forward... but remember .. if the bike is straight from the crate ...then there will be no oil in the engine ... so dont start it without doing all your checks 1st.... From your question, it looks as if you are buying a Chinese, Taiwanese (or similar) bike. Please be aware that the build quality on these machines is very poor. Also the brakes and tyres have to be treated with utmost respect, as they do not perform very well, especially in the wet. Finally, if you have purchased the bike directly from an importer, these companies often go bust, leaving customers with no after sales support... I wouldn't recommend that someone of limited experience attempt assembly. There are a lot of little tid-bits you should know. Which way the handle bar clamps are installed. Cable routing. F axle direction. Speedometer drive position. Fender spacers. The fact that some models need to have the brake calipers removed to fit the wheel in place. A simple thing like the correct procedure to remove the bike from the crate. |
