I'm pretty tempted to fit one on my bike - how much are they to buy and fit? Or are they easy to do for someone who is really not that mechanically-minded? The vacuum unit is as Stu said cost wise. they are reasonably easy to fit. if you check the Scott site https://www.scottoiler.com/kb/article/cbf600-2008.html they do specific fitting guides. Strap reservoir to frame. Vacuum pipe to reservoir Oil feed pipe to rear sprocket done (I take no responsibility for the 5 days it takes to do this ) the electronic version is £200+. There are other makes on the market https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=motorcycle+auto+chain+oiler HTH

For the chain, think about fitting an automatic oiler eg Scott, TUTORO or PD Oiler

Just as thought O-Ring chains crap for winter riding Seems DJP is suggesting it is the type of lubrication being used not O ring chains specifically. I have ridden bike through winter an have always use a drip oiler, Scott or similar, and chains lasted ok.

I'm sure Hoggs will have it sorted by 21 April.

Little run out today George and Dragon Queen Victoria Barley Mow Old coach house

nope my birthday list conveniently involves things I know will be at the excel show I'll bring my list as well then.

Spose that's on your birthday list now

I will have to keep an "eye" on this thread. I have varifocal glasses but my contacts are single and if I use them for the bike cant see the SatNav too well so tend to wear glasses.

Well done

Just use copious amounts of Redex, works every time.

Fixed it for you.

Don't forget your torque wrench

OK

But did you use a bike?

Well done

Is it regular, I've in the same place. Mark the belt and push it and see if the click occurs at the same place. Check to see if there is anything trapped in the belt, small stone or the like.

You need do have both turn bulbs in to make it work. The flasher works on the total load so to flash at the correct rate each circuit needs 42 watts (2x21w). So if one bulb fails the indicators do not flash so you know one has failed from the tell tale lamp on the dash. So for the LEDs to work you need to wire in a resistor with each led lamp, or each circuit depending on the rating of the resistor. Have a look at this for ideas http://www.getgeared.co.uk/core/media/media.nl?id=5225&c=731612&h=1df235767670d8f92058 If you can use 1 resistor per side and fit it at the rear where there is more room.

Some also require you to have a couple of standing orders or direct debits set up aswell

Never ride with loose wires uninsulated or you will get blown fuses. Generally led turn signals will need resistors, if none are fitted the turn signals will normally be on when the switch is operated and will not flash. This is because the resistance is too low and not enough current will flow through the flasher to make it work. Can't remember the value needed but Google will find it for you.

As said above, to blow fuses you must have a short between live and earth somewhere. If you are ok with the electrics look at this. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=rd+350+wiring+diagram&rlz=1C9BKJA_enGB693GB693&hl=en-GB&prmd=ivsn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiEubn8iuXRAhUIKMAKHUxpCUoQ_AUIBygB&biw=1024&bih=653#imgrc=CcYktXATx_ObkM%3A Not sure of the year but all the diagrams seem the same and this is for the USA. You don't need a load resistor unless you have fitted LED indicator lamps. If they are led it would explain why they don't flash but not why the fuse blows. A simple 2 wire flasher relay has the live on one pin and the other pin goes to the common terminal on the switch. HTH

I dont mind those. I can pick them up in my hands and take them outside. I like looking at your pets and while they would make ideal subjects for photography, not sure if i could live with that many in the house. To be honest I am more wary of the beasties that live in the shed which move quick and bite

Done that.

Plain or milk?

Yes it has carbs. What's icing Mate? Have a read of this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carburetor_icing It's not all the details but helps, and yes Kwaks were well known for it. My GPX had water heated carbs but still suffered occasionally
