I bought it about a month ago with 16k on the clock and tbh it wasnt it the best shape. the bloke i bought it off seemd like a bit of an idiot (revving it like f**k from cold). anyway since buying it the forck seals have gone, the stearing bearings are on their way out and i think the rear disk is warped :/ but as for the engine its running spot on.
so far i have changed the crank case gasket (was leaking oil) fitted a new sunline, red cluctch lever ( old 1 was snapped in half) and taken all the tatty stickers off and given it a general tidy up :)
The pics are the ones that were on the ebay auction before i got it ( i will put some up to date one on soon) :)
any suggestions welcome and i will be probably picking your brains in the near future no doubt haha
cheers, jake

the stearing bearings can be turned upside down so you dont have to buy new ones hehe.. Mine are on there way out, little knocks over speed humps and pot holes but garage said they don't need replacing till the stearing starts getting stiff or something.. and they been like it 6-7months.
Mine have gone stiff, its really quite dangerous especially round bends so gonna order so new ones and hopefully fit them at the weekend all being good! :)
Cheers mate :) needs a bit of work like but thats what i like in a bike :P and im not so sure about the stickers, i just think they look a bit chavvy and tatty :P
its good yeah! i got a bashed up front dep pipe and thats nothing compared to the athena but that might be to do with the fact its got sh*t loads of dents haha oh and it power wheelies! :D But not too keen on the look of the rear pipe but it does sound nice in the powerband
