And actual Manufacturer Workshop manuals.......got one for the Speedy that the previous owner gave to me when I bought the bike off him.......

Good advice above........you really need to try lids on before buying......fit is so important. .....

Proper customer service........someone who understands that repeat business and customer recommendations are the key to keeping your business going...... Wouldn't hurt to name the guy that you bought the bike off......There may be others on here in that area looking to buy from a decent dealer......

Bad luck [mention]Magpie84[/mention] ........you'll nail it next time......

Does it pick up once it starts revving? Do you have to premix the 2-stroke with the fuel, or does it have a separate oil tank? Could be not getting enough oil. I may be inclined to try a new spark plug......my RD350 I had years back used to eat plugs.....

Engine's had it, mate......I'll buy it off you for a tenner...... Seriously though.......as above....just water vapour forming from the hot exhaust gases hitting the cold metal on the exhaust......it'll disappear once the bike is up to working temperature. ......

I had a pair of Sidi Black Rain EVO boots that were Lorica......I guess they did smell slightly worse than my leather boots......but spraying them with boot deodorising spray after each wear kept the smell to acceptable levels......

Have a look at a wiring diagram and see which fuse feeds the rear light and clocks......

I won't comment on fault......but never filter down the kerbside of traffic, sooner or later a passenger would swing a door open, someone will suddenly decide to pull over to go to a shop, and numerous other scenarios......many drivers do not check their kerbside mirror before a manouvre. Anyway, thankfully you weren't badly injured this time.....just think about these points when you get back on the road.

A man walked out to the street and caught a taxi just going by. He got into the taxi, and the cabbie said, "Perfect timing. You're just like "Brian! Passenger: "Who?" Cabbie: "Brian Sullivan. He's a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happen like that to Brian Sullivan, every single time." Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody." Cabbie: "Not Brian Sullivan. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy." Passenger: "Sounds like he was something really special." Cabbie: "There's more. He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Brian Sullivan, he could do everything right." Passenger: "Wow. Some guy then. Cabbie: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Brian, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too. He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Brian Sullivan." Passenger: "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him? Cabbie: "Well, I never actually met Brian. He died. I'm married to his f****ing widow."

I had a mate who had a Suzuki RE5 back in the day.......super smooth and fast.....but ultimately a bit fragile........another friend of mine has a Norton rotary amongst his collection of bikes......currently awaiting a rebuild.......

PM [mention]Joeman[/mention] .....as he's done quite a bit of investigation into these things.......

I'd expect the main fuse to be around 30A........

Is this a hypothetical question.......or do you actually have a problem with the bike not starting?.......and what is leading you down this path? Maybe a bit more information would be useful. ......so that you'll hopefully get the appropriate answers to your question. ......

Sounds like there's no ground wire to the bridge..........

Did you fall foul of the darn google too or was it Tangoogle that failed? Tangoogle malfunction I'm afraid. ......

60 mile round trip and get the 2 tags at the end.........actually rode past a Swan pub and a different White Hart without realising. . Lol. But, it was good to get out on the bikes.....a bit soggy to start off with......but it got better as we went along.....

Off and running..... Chequers Inn White Hart

Welcome to TMBF mate. ......... Visit some dealers with your girlfriend and sit on a few of these bikes and see how you both feel about the comfort........then test ride any likely candidates....... From your list, I'd say that the MT09 or Z900 would be better suited for taking a pillion...... Or......plan B........get your girlfriend to do her bike test and get her own bike......

Apparently drinking ground nutmeg in hot milk just before bedtime makes for some interesting dreams.......However, nutmeg is poisonous in larger quantities. ........but........

Try servicing your rear shock linkages using a paddock stand...... Block of wood between tyre and subframe Bloody tight Yorkshireman.....

A man received the following text from his neighbour: I am so sorry Harry. I've been riddled with guilt and I have to confess. I have been helping myself to your wife, day and night when you're not around. I do not get it at home, but that's no excuse. I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you will accept my sincerest apology with my promise that it won't, ever happen again. Harry, anguished and betrayed, went into his bedroom, grabbed his gun, and without a word, shot his wife and killed her. A few moments later, a second text came in: Bloody autospell! I meant "wifi, not "wife"

Nice one, mate........ I've got a list of mods on my Speed Triple that needs an extra sheet of paper when listing them for the insurance.....
