Check each of the yellow wires compared to ground. If you have 0 ohms you have a short to ground. Continuity between the yellow wires should be more than 0 ohms as well. The exact value will be in the service manual for your bike. It does sounds like your stator is duff

Many thanks.

I am just about to replace the clocks on my FES125 but the newer ones are showin lower mileage on the ODO than the old ones. Should I just wind the replacement up with a drill until it shows the correct mileage? Its only off by 1000 miles.

I have had a look and they are different, but the seats look identical. I am wondering if the differences are in the frame etc? Hmmm I may take a chance on a 10 pound seat.

No problem. Yes, dulling of the reflector can make a big difference. Glad it made a big difference. Many thanks!

Hi all I just bought a FES 125 pantheon for the other half to get to grips on, and the seat is pretty badly buggered up. Its impossible to find a seat for the 1999 FES online, but there are plenty for the 2003-2007 and 2007 onwards, They look identical, but is there any way to figure out if they are the same?

If you are going to install them, do it in projectors. as has been said, still illegal but not blinding! A guide for a Fazer is here, but the concept is the same. http://fotifixes.com/2012/12/27/hid-pro ... fazer-600/

Turned out the air pocket was in the caliper bodies, moving the pistons all the way in and then pumping them back out sorted the problem Nice firm lever now, lovely jublies. Thanks all!

I will have to give that a try, I have heard this method mentioned a couple of times. It does seem to be the best method as the bubbles will be forced up with the fluid.

Will give it a go, many thanks.

Hi all I have recently changed out all the lines in my 1991 XJ600. I have replaced them all with goodridge lines. I have also overhauled the master cylinder. (new mc kit) The problem I have, is that I cant get the brakes to pump up, I have clear fluid showing at the bleed nipples on the front fork, but no pressure in the lever. Any thoughts?

Will do! The diesel bike project is taking up most of my time at the moment though

I use one of these! Easy as you dont need to take the cables off the bike: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hydraulic-Mot ... 56516c1a7b

Right, thats what I thought. Was just double checking

I will keep an eye
