Maybe it,s running abit rich,take the plugs out,they should be a nice tan colour,

Check that the choke isn,t sticking on,also that the air filter isn,t filthy,would cause it to run rich good luck

you could get a datatool snitcher, 3 wire fitting,sensitivity can be adjusted, if the bike is touched you get an immediate text message to your mobile,so you can catch them in the act and have a word with,em, if your miles away or abroad the bike can be traced by G.P.S. via the snitcher,s on board sim card,..

I could be up for this,live in the bromley area,hopefully the rain,s gone by the W/End,will keep an eye on this thread,...Bob

Had a similar problem with an old Fireblade, would start with a booster pack but not on its own,even though the battery was o.k. ,...the starter was replaced problem cured,seems it was knackerd and needed alot of current to turn it over ......worth a check..

You,ve got a problem with the driver,s door,the drivers door is operated from the key fob,thats why it locks and unlocks ,....lock the drivers door manually ,then use the key fob the other doors will then lock ok ,,...when you get a chance have the drivers door looked at ,could be a solenoid or linkage has come off,

I just coat it with Grease,chain lube should be ok,...

Thank you .....I bought a file then flatterned 2 edges then found a really nifty molegrip that was flat nosed and managed to get the bloomin thing out !! The fileing as you suggest was the only thing that really worked as it was bolted into rubber before the engine and heat not really an option I,m glad it worked

Get a file and file 2 flat edges on the bolt,then an open ended spanner,should do the trick,..

Hopefully i can make this,not too far from me,will keep my eye on this as it gets closer.

Good one I,ll be there ,hopefully the sun will be out

Might be going to Newlands corner myself,If I go I,ll be on a Red R1 55plate,come and say hello,... Bob,...

It wont make much differance ,unless you fit a full system and a free flowing airfilter,but it should be abit noisier,

Take the reading from the battery,the black lead goes to negative-the red to positive,...hold the leads onto the battery note the reading,start the bike the reading should go up to at least 14volts if you rev it,if it dosen,t you may need a new regulator,or even a stator,take the bike to get the charging system checked,if you,re not sure,...

Had Corsa 111,s on my bike ,good tyres,but didn,t trust them in the wet,then went to B.T.016,s,brilliant tyres ,..got another bike recently,which came home with Michellin power pures,so far no complaints....
