Red face Sods Law Strikes

Hi Lads,
took sprint 900 for MOT sailed through so sitting outside MOT station on the bike for some reason it decided to fall over in slow motion to the right.

Ended up with smashed indicator lens and the small pin on footpeg broken off.

Have ordered replacement lens as supplier does not stock it so will have to go to scrappie to see i I can find a replacement so I can ride out on sunday

I have done the same thing. In my garage sat on my scoot, put my foot on a mat, foot slipped on mat and over she goes.

Once it leans over so far its hard to catch.

Hope you get her fixed before Sunday!

Cheers,

Roden

Thanks lads

Hi Lads,
Thanks MOtT3 for the offer, I shot down to nearest yamaha dealer and they had a box of indicators to rummage through, picked up 2 complete indicators identical to triumph ones for a tenner.

Apparently Triumph used indicators and front end from earlier Yamaha's. So if needed go to your friendly nieghbourhood dealer.
Dont know if this is in parts interchangebility section.
As for the run completly and utterly washed out with weather I am not a fair weather rider but monsoon conditions and gusting 90mph wind a tad to much.
