Hi all
Im new on the forums, as I was referred here by a mate of mine when I had some questions about my newest hopeless project
Im far too optimistic about success sometimes.
Im originally a member of a Honda forum as my day to day communter is a CBR250R, but now that I've been given this GPZ750, I guess I can pick your brains about what to do.
The whole story and pics are on this thread at the Honda forums
www.cbr250.com/cbr250/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=48754
But if you can't be bothered looking at that dirty honda thread, heres a pic of "The Ships Anchor" - aptly named because the damn beast is sooo heavy compared to the lightweight 250
QUESTION NUMBER 1
I dont have a sump plug for this bike as yet, and there arent many places I'll get one locally, if at all. I was going to put a short, fine thread bolt in there as a stop gap solution, but all the bolt shops are closed for Chrissy too.
Anyway, I just want to make sure that nothing is seized in the engine, so I thought I would put a little oil down each cylinder, put the bike in a higher gear and try and push it to get the engine to turn over.
However, I can only seem to select first or neutral, which is confirmed by the neutral light. Is there any pecial trick to getting into second, or should I be investigating a problem elsewhere?
Many thanks, see you around the forums
Luke
