Im still too scared to do mine, I figure I should while I have the bike in the shed for winter where I can pu the heater on and work away. Im still too scared and have the thing of if it aint broke dont fix it. I have all the stuff to do it even that seal you should replace. I just wish I had...

As long as the valves were checked and adjusted properly then thats it for the engine other than obvious checking of oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs. A lot of people say don't trust the previous owners checking the valves as its so important. You might want to change your front and rear...

Jus found this vid, so I take it I'm ok? To be honest my vid makes them look worse than what they are, the wheel does spin pretty freely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58WpeeG6xTc

Just installed new mzs levers (cheap from amazon but have good reviews) yes I know I should have got asv but I'm going with them :) Have greased them up and made sure the nipple is correctly installed In the dimple) Afterwards after reading horror stories and seeing a vid of a dude who said the...

I like it! doesn't look cheap at all, modern retro looking.

Hi all was looking for little mods to do and see some people have a voltmeter. Are these worth having? also where would you wire it to? if straight across the battery then it would need a switch. I have my usb socket wired to the hot of the brake light switch if I recall, could it use the same...

Really nice mod. wouldn't dim it. Like Moto said the brighter the better you never know how many times it might save your life (unless someone stops and tells you lol).

Nice bike, 9k miles fewer than my 09. Looks nice a and untouched too. Welcome!

do risers make a difference with the comfort? I suffer in my right hand from a bit of pins and needles after half hour. Have grip puppies but not much help.

Could be a faulty wire or connector somewhere in your loom but don't rule out the battery if you don't know how old it is. Look for anything thats been taped up not by factory and generally go over all the connectors and look for anything obvious when you have the time the two panniers on the...

Oh no another intermittent a day after the last was solved... How old is your battery? Has the wiring been modified hacked into anywhere? Washed it lately with a pressure washer or any water ingress? Has it got an aftermarket alarm? How much stuff in terms of usb sockets extra lights have...

Congrats! well done for getting her going again. I was thinking all along it must be something someone has done connection wise, tell a lie I was sending you down the immobiliser path so I can't play captain hindsight too much lol.:thumbup:

It has been mentioned on long de-cat discussion/debate threads that if you have a aftermarket exhaust AND de-cat then its going to change the dynamics too much to run normally without a tune/dyno. I am running a k&n air filter with a scorpion exhaust with the cat and still feel that I'm pushing...

I really feel it might be the immobiliser if its not that relay you ordered. Today I tested my killswitch and if you turn the ignition on with the killswitch on stop or kill then you still get the engine fuel pump prime sound (something you said you were not getting) but are unable to start with...
