oh well time to do that European trip I've been dreaming of again. was quite fun guessing my speed in to work this morning.

Reading the other comments he's recorded himself doing 175mph through those streets.

every second hand 125 will have been dropped. just remember not to buy a brand new first big bike

oil breather hose is one of them not sure about the other

Get an alarmed disc lock and save yourself the hassle

tried that before, came a cropper

the alarm was £10, more for convenience. plus I would love the chance to beat to a pulp anyone that tried. There was three motorbikes stolen from a garage in my town, it's just a cabinet lock on my garage. Have a house alarm too, just paranoid

when I've not used bike over winter when icy for a couple of weeks at a time, and another instance few months ago bike has struggled to start. usually charging battery fixed it. but not any more.

okay got an expensive multimeter, 14.35-14.5v through out the throttle range. going to point my finger at the cheap alarm deep discharging the battery. battery has had enough after 2 years?

replace battery, get trickle charger when leaving bike for more than a couple of days?

borrowed bro in laws but was AC only, borrowing his DC one tonight.

sorry edited before I saw your reply.

should the regulator at least be Luke warm after a 15 minute ride? guess I'll go ahead and order a cleaner looking version. mine is all alloy oxidised up.

£135 brand new, ouch.

I'm actually wondering if my multimeter has lost its calibration. it's showing 16v on the battery after 2.5hrs without being ridden.

showing 13.5v on an alkaline 9v battery?

that's what I thought. but a blog said Honda regs never break. will try swapping the horn back first as I've still got that.

hum I recently fitted an after market horn that got extremely wet and stopped working for a period. it's now dried out but rust is seeping out from the plastic cover. I'm guessing this is shorting? is there an easy test?

I checked voltage earth on it, matches elsewhere on bike.

Battery down to 8v, 6v with ignition on. Had to push start, whilst running i couldn't use indicators or brakes as the whole bike ran badly. RPM display all over the place.

Charged it up and got it running to show 15.5v - 16.5v at ildle. 17.5v at 7,000RPM.

Have managed to start it a few times since. Battery is 3 years old.

wire brush

I get my bike up into 5th gear so it doesn't vibrate so much, whilst using a cruise control clip on the throttle to keep both my hands free. Spray a liberal amount of wd40 onto the chain then use a wire brush to get rid of the rust. then lots of the local rag to get the grime off. then drip clean engine oil on.

take cruise control clip off then bring the bike to a stop. get off and check you've cleaned it properly if not get back on and take it for another spin.

I've got these £10 tyre pressure gauges attached to mine. quick peek once in a while.

well you definitely need that castle socket thing and the impact driver will help with getting the screw's out of the centrifugal oil filter. that should have been cleaned out by now. make sure you order a new clutch side gasket and centrifugal gasket too.

my bike did same in wet, replacing spark cap which had a small hole in it sorted it.

Hmmm if you only did them a bit ago they won't need doing again

3,000 miles is a years average usage for a bike? I used a bleed kit from halfords for mine, can swap the tubes around to fit the car bleed nipple too.

shouldn't be oil should be fuel on the plug if it's not igniting. oil would mean the piston rings are shot and you've got no compression.

sorry predictive text.

third party fire and theft

bearings. lift off ground and give them a wiggle.

good advice but your cover levels are strange. on June due and theft was over £100 more fully comp another £100.

Cam chain tensioner?
