ok , so I am putting it out there. ( for Cracker I`m 53 years old)
My 2003 950 Adventure S is now on 86000 km it is using a bit of oil about 250ml every 5000km, now do I sell it and bite the bullet and get into debt to get a 790 or 1090 , or do I keep the 950 and have the motor redone , If I do the motor , I would do all bearings , new cam chains , guides etc, and new rings, every thing other than that has been done on the bike, the suspension has just been done by Martin Petsol , it has a new swing arm after the original one cracked, all in all the bike has become reliable other than it sound horrible when starting , like a flat battery even when the batteries are fully charged ( yes it has a duel battery system) but it does start . it has not had the torque limiter done on the starter,
all in all this bike owes me about +/- R100 k , I will never get that for it I know but it is paid for and at most I may get R55K if im lucky , so it still means that I have to come up with about 150K :-\
now I am not one of those rich people out there, I will have to finance , and dont like to finance .I hate the F,,,,king banks they are all thieves .
so people what do you think I should do if you were in my shoes.get rid of the old girl or have her renewed.to the tune of about R30K :-\
My riding mate is not going to like the answers here , sorry Harold.
