  1. Oh my, you know when you see something that you just CANNOT unsee. well that pic!1
  2. I tried spray, never really worked for me to be hones. . Just a quick wipe with a hand or a quick turn of the head.
  3. Transvision vamp!! Now there's a blast from my adolescent past. Mmmm Wendy James.
  4. Thanks, This was just an impulse purchase not really for the studs, I'm leaving them for now
  5. Ha thanks, might even try and return it at LIdl. Then look for electric one.
  6. OK, think I'm going to park this for now, getting stressed and breaking sockets albeit cheap ones probably not great for me at the moment. I also managed to pick up a cheap impact driver earlier. however, what I didn't know is that I need an air compressor, doh!! which I don't have. I just assumed it ran off a power socket. Is there any way kind of power converter I can get. The air compressors look like pricey even the small ones. In other medical related news. Had my biopsy on Monday had to stay in overnight because slight bleed on biopsy area, apparently tly quite usual. Results on Tuesday.... Been a long w3ek waiting.
  7. Thanks, I don't have any plusgas but have ben soaking them with a penetrating spray. Need to buy a gas torch too.
  8. No drama!! Nothing broken yet. I'm just anticipating some trouble with the sump nut when I change the oil next. I wanted to do a proper job and remove the sump to fix/replace the thread. But I need to remove the exhaust first which means removing the header nuts. HIOWEVER, they look like this, pretty mangled and I cant even get sockets on them. Is there any way to tackle these or is this maybe a job too far? Thanks all
  9. Like it any recommendations? I had a look around but ideally I want a connection wire that is fixed to the battery rather than messing about with crocodile clips. Something like this one perhaps? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/battery-charging-12v-solar-panel-for-12-volt-batteries/150825687659?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
  10. Yarp, was on my FZ6, fairly common with Yahamas so I have since read. I use locking washer and threadlock now, no problems since.
  11. Thanks, good point, Hadn't even considered(trying not too) about the fact it might be left for months.
  12. Ok so I have a long spell off work and may not even be able to ride again, real bad times, but to keep active I'm going to continue to tinker with my bike. I have a new motobatt battery to fit. I have a factory fitted yahama alarm, is there anything I need to take into consideration before changing the battery or is it a simple case of negative off, positive off swap battery and reconnect?? Thanks all
  13. I try to do as much as I can on my own, with a few balls ups along the way. Hence my numerous pitstop posts
  14. Coolant was changed last year so could always do that again. Checking the thermostat will require a little research I think
  15. Yes it was a dick move looking back. In a hurry places to be etc etc
  16. Looking for some advice on something a little strange that happened today. Riding through town around midday, it was hot and was in stop/start in traffic. Fan was cutting in and out as it should and was working fine. Then the engine warning light came on. There was no performance drop or anything of not. It stayed on for around 5 mins until I was outside oftown and as soon as I got above 30mph the light went out and never came back on. I ran the diagnostic mode when I got home and nothing shows up. Could the be a temperature related issue??
