Triumph Bonneville t100 2010 Bad engine sound, Please Help

Hi Stefan, walk away from that one!

No, better still, runaway from that one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've never heard a Bonny engine make that noise and unless it was very, very cheap to buy, I wouldn't touch it.

There are many more good ones, so why buy a bad one?

 

Hi Stefan, I read that he will put the bike into usable condition but my concern is what damage has been done by the valves being so out of correct operation.

I understand that the rarity of this bike in your country is a big attraction for you but let me just share with you what I do, when buying bikes and cars.

For the last 15 years I've been in France (originally English) but still buy my cars and bikes in England, mainly due to availability but also price. I fly to England, check over the vehicle, pay for it with my credit card and ride/drive it home.

Because the UK, France and Slovakia are all in the EU, exporting a vehicle from one EU country to another is very simple.

If you decide to consider buying outside your home country and need advice please don't hesitate to contact me.

Cheers
Dave

 

The biglads right Stefan. In your position it can be very tempting but that bike seems to have a very bad service record and even if the owner gives it a full service the damage already done could be very bad in a years time.

 

As others are saying run don't walk away from it
Must be other European countries which are closer that will have a good one for you to buy

 

As the others are saying - the damage has probably been done - leave it well alone.
