  1. part of the handle hinge point assembly on most bikes i think, you will see the wires going to it from underneath, tiny switchy thing hidden away with a plunger that operates it. Looks like this:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-RXS-10 ... 3f31961a3e
  2. wow, looks fab out there Yes I can imagine it can be uncomfortable though

    I think it's the ignition switch - wired a second hand one in, time will tell as it was an intermittent fault
  4. Anybody remember the Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle (or SPV) it was a fictional pursuit and attack vehicle from Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's science-fiction television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons (1967). http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u391/ian_douglas1/VivdCommandTeam93_zpsw69iqvf2.jpg Within the hermetically-sealed control compartment, the driver, co-driver and a passenger are seated backwards, facing the rear, to reduce the possibility of injury in the event of a crash; the driver is aided by a video monitor displaying (vertically-flipped) forward and rear views.
  5. i think, broadly speaking, you will end up like whichever side of the family you follow it isn't good feeling over-weight on the other hand it takes will power to remove it
  6. made me a laugh thanks (don't tell my brother, he's a real keen cyclist)

    can you move the handlebars round a bit, thats how i dealt with wrist ache.
  8. they seem as bad as each other - this shows that violence can escalate and backfire just best to stay calm and avoid this sort of thing imo, doesn't do anybody any good.
  9. what was the purpose of these tunnels please?

    thanks eab - been cleaning all terminals and the bike is charging ok at present that bit about the coils failing with heat, ie: intermittent fault sounds about it I'll have a look at the rectifier wiring + see if there is anything untoward there

    any comments welcome y/day got all my gear on, ready to go on 100 mile plus trip bike won't start, just a little phut type noise, fuses are OK change battery for a spare (good as far as I know) and fine until... 57 miles on, wind the bike up, there's a backfire then dead ring rescue as nothing, not even turning over after 1.5 hrs where are those rescue people? I playfully try the bike and it starts!!!! cancel the rescue stop at a pub then it stops again as I'm setting off, dead as before then, blow me down, it goes again after about 10 mins and I slowly get home. any ideas (XJ600) please?
