While riding my Pegaso last month I heard a vibration, so I crawled over the bike and noticed the radiatior was loose. On closer insepction the 2 top rivets were missing. I popped into Pitstop and Paul had a look, then started to fix it by widening the hole and adding a pop rivet. The 1st one went in OK, the 2nd punctured the rad :-(
When we looked more we realised the radiator was slightly bent (from previous owners drop). After checking a new one was 300ukp ! I went to see a local radiator repair shop, only to be told it was knackered.
After a bit of ringing around we sourced a new one for 160ukp. so I was a touch happier. The bike was still off the road for another 2 weeks though.
While waiting for the repairs, I was researching the Pegaso forum for possible faults, and could see the most likely trip stopper would be the fuel pump. On all the websites a new one was listed as 750ukp ! I queried it with a dealer and he discovered it was a mistake, they are only 207ukp, so that was added to the spares to be carried. I've stopped looking at possible faults now, as too much knowledge is an *expensive* thing.
