Yeah, does seem that it's an oil level sensor and not oil pressure......located in the sump pan apparently......

You could go round to the A10, soll and head up there. It's still dual carriageway, but not as cr*p as the M11.... I'll have a chat with Mandy and see if we can make it along to this too.....

Sounds like it's the starter motor......maybe sticking or worn brushes....or maybe a dead segment on the commutator......

Welcome to TMBF mate. .....pop over to the Newbies section and introduce yourself to the guys when you can. ...... Have you eliminated the crank sensor.....or the cdi unit? TBH with a bike of that age I wouldn't mind betting the crank sensor has popped it's clogs.....

Checking the spark plug colour will give you an idea on whether it's running rich or not....... As Stu says, raising or lowering the needle height could help too......

Yeah....sounds like the cush drive rubbers are worn.......worth replacing them.....especially if the tester didn't mention anything about play in the rear wheel, which would have implicated the wheel bearings....

Given the latest Panama Papers thing, none of them, EU, UK, US, Russia, Iceland, etc, are squeaky clean!! What we pay into the EU is a p*ss in the ocean compared to the massive tax evasion that is going on in this country and others......and if you think this will improve if we leave the EU I think you're sadly mistaken! I also think that anyone believing that any "savings" made from leaving the EU will be diverted to the NHS or anything else that would benefit the general populous are being very naive! And believing anything printed in the daily propaganda! Tuesday this week one of the biggest scandals seen was breaking.....corruption at the highest level and on an unprecedented scale......and the Front page headlines in the Daily Express? WALNUTS!!! Talk about smokescreening. ......not even subtle! I have reservations about the EU.....especially TTIP.......but I think leaving will have a huge negative impact on our economy. There will be job losses....everyone agrees this, including the Brexit advocates......The pound will drop against the other currencies, again pretty much everyone agrees on this.....where they do not agree is the depth and longevity of these negative impacts. Anyone who thinks that the EU will allow us to walk away and take our £12bn with us and maintain the same trading conditions with the market because we're "special" are sadly deluded. There will be extra tariffs. The price of most goods will increase.....directly or indirectly. Steel.......The Germans have successfully protected their steel industry......If our government wanted to it could do the same for our steel industry......The key phrase here is "if they wanted to"!!!!! But they'd rather buy cheap, inferior steel from China! Who have just announced higher import tariffs on imported steel to protect their steel industry......you couldn't make this stuff up!!

I accidentally swallowed some Scrabble squares..........I now need a poo, but it could spell trouble!

Nice evening.....

That's a shame, Ollie......we're just getting sorted ......and the bikes are out of the garage.......

Depends on when Mandy gets back from work......but I'm up for it......

I think they're worth it......got one on my Speedy which really helps the starting.....cranks over nice and quick.....

Get a Motobatt if you can.......

Funnily enough the EU wanted to increase tariffs to stop the Chinese dumping cheap steel in our market......but our government blocked this move! I think you'll find that the UK doesn't give £55m a day to the EU......last year the UK contribution was £12bn......and we immediately got a £4.8bn rebate......and there are several other subsidies that the UK receives that reduce our net contribution still further......worth having a read of this to get a clearer view of what we contribute and what we get back.....https://getthebrexitfacts.wordpress.com/2016/03/21/does-the-uk-get-value-for-money-from-the-eu/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Sounds like a plan, Stu......hope the weather holds out for you......

Glad you got it sorted mate......

Sorry to say this, guys.......but that train just gets faster and faster as the years mount up.....

Good luck with that, mate......you'll not be able to sit down for a week after that....
