Title: RJ06SKF?
Post by: CitroenCX on Tuesday, 08 February 2022, 05:01 AM
Hiya, another returning member. I bought two 14s brand new when I had money, in 02 and 04. I suddenly fancy another and have found this one at a dealer whom I've bought from in the past, and who I trust. Did a deal today.

It's a great price, mainly because it has zero history with it. I'd love to see if I can find any - it must be around somewhere.

Does anyone recognise the number? Any tips gratefully received.

Cheers.

Thank you, Notty. It's actually a Reading plate, isn't it? It's the RJ but that counts, not the SK.

Ha ha, Jesus, this was supposed to simple. I see more than one site ref Salford, so I'll go with that. Or Reading. Or anywhere.

Allo,

Looking at the MOT history previous owners didn't know how to look after the chain n sprockets. Plus it might have had front disks a couple of year ago after a warning on fluctuation. I was surprised at wheel bearings after thirty three thousand, mine lasted one hundred thousand more than that.

About fifty thousand on it now, barely run in that for one of these.

I see RJ as Reading when I check too.

Thanks, Hooli. Yes, MOT history is always the first thing I check but would love to track down any actual paperwork that might be hiding somewhere.

Welcome to the forum CitroenCX.  :onya: Has the number plate got the original dealer blurb at the bottom?

Arrived Thursday, when it was snowing here. Immediately put it away, but managed to get it out today, though it's still too cold to ride. Bring on the Spring.

Try shrinking the pics, the forum has a size limit to save on storage space.
