Weathers looking pretty good for tomorrow! anyone going?

Should be good! See you all there

Jayne....don't you dare!!

There may be a ride out Sunday Jive, you come then?

Gubba etc - is it ok to meet you at the services of wherever in pboro if you're heading this way?

Cool beans should be able to make it for then, forecast has brightened up a bit!

I'm about for some of it, forecast is always wrong and is saying rain in pboro so should be nice and sunny!

I'm in, cancelled holiday so defo up going, first time this year hey!

Speak for yourself, im younger than you Jayne!

Change of plan, going to head over, should be dry enough!

Hmm weathers its looking ify, may head to a local instead

Here's the cbr I got a few months ago

Do you know the routes they do? A friend of mine was taken up towards cannock so wasn't too bad

Jayne (with waffle/baffle in) and myself should be there at some point.

Lau

You'll all be pleased to know that I came home and put my waffle back in, as I (and probably everyone else) came home with a headache!

A headache....just a tad, very very glad its back in.

Nice to see you all!

Lau

I can probably do Sunday, weathers looking pretty decent for the weekend too

oh, he wasn't even trying? Blimey! it can be a fairly spirited ride when he is....

However, I'm sure he was obeying all traffic laws....don't want to get him trouble.

Oh of course...im sure he was..!!!

Im with you on that one jayne, much nicer riding in a convoy

Oh thanks!!! To be fair i think jayne was probably going a little slower than usual so she wouldn't lose me.

Yeah defo, will be going that way for a few weeks now to avoid the gritty road!

and he said he'd be having an easy ride back..... dread to think how fast he rides normally!!

What's the likely hood of it being dry tomorrow? been a few weeks!

It was a suggestion from a guy that works for Honda.

I'm popping to get the battery tested in about an hour at the place i got it just in case.

Yep its got an auto choke.

When i replaced the starter it was covered in carbon, another suggestion was to look at the starter clutch?

Yeah i'm lost with it. who knows....

Cheers

When its come to the point that it wont start up ive whipped it out and tried the battery charger on it, its always been virtually full charged or is with minutes.

No ii dont have an optimate im afraid.

No alarm, but it has the Hiss imobiliser on it.

Thanks

Laura

I did it when warm and when it was cold.....charged fine both times.

I'm stuck!!

Lau

Thanks for the replies, ive tested it - held revs at 5000rpm and it was at 14.5.

Running out of things it could be now!

Cheers

Lau

Hey

Ive got a CBR 600 F (2002) - only 18k on the clock.

I've been trying to get to the bottom of a starting issue i have with the bike when its warm. I posted on another forum last week but every logical suggestion they've had hasnt fixed it so wondered if there was any other ideas.

I can bump start it no probs but if I do a few short journeys it wont fire up again, its almost like the battery is flat (its a new battery). - tested, charging perectly. Its not discharging at all as when its struggles to start after a few short journeys ive tested it and its always been fully charged.

I went through and cleaned all wire connections and replaced starter relay as it was pretty corroded anyway but didn’t make any difference, new starter motor, checked ground etc.

The dash also resets when it struggles to fire and drops to around 6v when starting when warm, from cold its at 13.2.

Someone suggested it could be the crank sensor, would this be worth looking at? Has anyone got any other ideas? Its driving me potty now!

Cheers

Lau

Ah ok well sorry i missed you!

We got there around half seven i think, didnt see you guys there, stayed until about 9 though but round the back outside with the swarms of flies!
