the plug from the ign is normally tucked into the wiring that is clipped into the fairing bracket or in the rear of the headlights when original they are always plug fitted not bullet or anything else

if you decide on smaller plate get new one made up and keep the original size one for the mot unless u have a very friendly mot tester they are meant to fail small plates,some get away with it others dont i have a small one fitted with standard size one i can put in front of it for the mot

would normally be 4 wires coming out of the ign into a plug and sometimes the ign itself becomes loose from the base plate causiong the problem you describe as for the clock lights chance are the bulbs are blown and need replacing

no they are not all the same you will need to find out how many teeth are on both front and rear sprockets as they all differ slightly,if you have got a manual for the bike that should tell you what the standard number of teeth are failing that you can mark the rear sprocket and count the number of teeth or some have it stamped into the sides of them

Need tail and ignition cover for Honda CB600 Hornet 2004
eastanglianbiker replied to dirtlego's topic in Pitstop
the ign cover if you mean the engine casing might possibly be the same a cbr600 so check them out on ebay panels is just a case of waiting and see whats about at different times -
finding the paint code on your vin tag wont help as it will be red if that was original colour of the bike if you take a panel to auto paint supplier they will be able to tint match it for you and put it into an aerosol can and a touch up stick for you
-
the juddering when running will be it misfiring unless ur chain is slapping about very loose or its when you are braking but from what you said everyone has given right advice i think

Had My CBT :) PASSED TODAY!
eastanglianbiker replied to D4ENX's topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
welll done on passing we all leave indicators on now and again for the first while out on your own just take it easy as you learn the roads and bends better to be 5mph to slow into them and come round and out carrying on up the road than 5mph to fast and coming out on ur backside or worse -

Cleaning aluminium / metal / chrome = Oxidization / dull etc
eastanglianbiker replied to a topic in Pitstop
the engine cases have the laquer peeling of them and the alloy below is oxidising so you need to strip all the laquer off paint stripper can be used for that just make sure you wash casing off well and then polish it up using hard work and plenty of patience,can use very fine wet and dry with solvol autosolv or a cream polish similar to it -
well done glad you got it sorted
-
should check tyre pressures weekly anyway gauges can be bought cheap enough so you dont need to go to garage every time to check them
