S-Westerly Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Given that it wasn't raining and the sun was actually shining gave it a good clean. The ACF is doing its thing and keeping the worst of the salt at bay. Looks like a fortnight of rain to come but as any forecast longer than 24 hours seems complete bollocks I'll not fret too much.

I reckon water was getting in where the cable enters the light. Yep. That’s where it gets in. Then it corrodes where the resistor joins the LED.

I did it once before, exact same issue, had to plug a code reader in to clear it, easy enough to do when you have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Took the bike to Worcester Ducati who sorted the dodgy exhaust flap valve. Good service and a pleasure to deal with so may well be using them for my future needs. Also don't have to hack my way through Bristol to get to them so that's a plus! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. And agree re the need for dual nozzles. Wonder if anyone will come up with a solution. As it is, I tend to put on more oil to compensate.

linuxrob Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 A weekend off, battery off the 125 and on the optimiser while the shed struggles to keep above Zero C. Oh and boots to clean too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
