Isn't that end buried deep within the bike and therefore no more susceptible to water ingress than any other electrical connection ?

Rick,s replacement.

Oddly enough, you can actually get a Francis Rossi graphics kit to make your guitar look knackered.http://www.guitarpartsworldwide.com/FRANCIS+ROSSI+SIGNATURE+FACELIFT+FOR+TELECASTER+PWdETnlBRE14b0RkalZIWnZKSGM

If you're a fan of Francis Rossi but can't afford an expensive graphics kit for your bike then its Poundland to the rescue !

Give me the dimensions and I'll see what I've got . Alternatively just go on eBay and buy a generic spring according to dimensions.https://m.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2055413.m4084.l1311.R5.TR10.TRC0.A0.H0.Xside+sta.TRS0&_nkw=side+stand+spring&_sacat=0

And mine , but to be on the safe side I put a plank under the back wheel to increase the lean angle a little further.

Yeh, but belt not orbital..... Thanks for pointing out my error . I did wonder how they were travelling so fast in a straight line .

Anyone seen sander racing ?

No

But it slides in the same slot in the basket so it has no choice other than to align with all the rest . i got my ends mixed up ( would be the last plate ) s-l300.jpg is how they should be .. the top plate is offset by one slot clutch.jpg is how most install Oh yeah, I see what you mean now it IS on the parts drawing I posted but I was looking without seeing . I've never had a clutch like that . I have a good feeling about this , I reckon you just might have cracked it !

Oh no...

if i remember correctly the first plate has to be in a different alignment to the rest ie look at the image the tang of first plate is not in alignment with the rest But it slides in the same slot in the basket so it has no choice other than to align with all the rest .

Looks like all the friction plates have the same part number as do all the steel plates which suggests that there is no particular sequence to installation.

Cheers, hopefully most of us know what a ZED is .

I don't like the sound of that especially the whining noise and the sudden lurching . These two mechanics , are they experienced and qualified and why did they both return the bike with the fault unresolved ? Just a hunch, has this clutch got heavy duty springs in it ? If it does then it may be worth putting standard ones back in . If you do attempt to fix this yourself I would begin by checking the total stack height followed by a careful examination of every plate on a guaranteed flat surface such as an engineers marking out table . You could have a warped steel plate or several that are only working when compressed fully by the springs . I found this site that seems to cover everything. Good luck.https://www.diymotofix.com/blog/how-to-properly-inspect-a-clutch

Should have used Cillit Bang ( I am not Barry Scott )

I gave the outside of the starter motor a bit of a spruce up . Well I couldn't put a scabby starter on my posh engine could I ?

When I swap engines I'm going to have to keep the old starter motor. As its been playing up recently I decided to buy some new carbon brushes and solder them in myself . I also gave the commutator a clean up with fine wet and dry . As you can see in the picture the old brushes were just about worn down to nothing . Service kits are available but this only cost me a fiver.

When I got done recently I saw the van , slowed down to a crawl and thought no more of it . The problem is that my idea of a crawl was 6 mph faster than the government's idea of a crawl . When I do my speed awareness course I probably won't mention that in order to fit all the numbers from 0 to 200 mph on a four inch speedo they have to be printed very small . I actually can't blame Suzuki because I do have little coloured stickers at 30 and 70 mph but I don't ride wearing reading glasses.

I've seen plenty of vandalized ones , but not nearly enough.

Does this help ? That symbol means earth by the way .

Haven't you just bought the wrong one ?

Morning, I think the reason you have had no response is that you just haven't provided enough information. Unfortunately there are loads of reasons why a bike won't start. You could begin by running through the trouble shooting section of the Haynes manual first.

Oh I see ! Find Google in my browser then pin Google to start ! Bless you , thanks very much . Done . Just curious, of all the smilies available, why the arse ? I was mooning to Google app, not needed Fair enough, thanks again !
