Update: Bike repaired and back. Total cost £500 which included engine out, mount welded, helicoil on corroded manifold bolt, sidestand shortened, 4 new intake rubbers (£95) and engine back in.


Many thanks to Joe Porter motorcycles! Guy is a legend.


Now I just need to figure out why the clock resets every time I switch the ignition off (new thread in pitstop incoming!)


Thanks again for everyone's help and advice.

Hi.


Good to hear you got your bike sorted. As regards the clock resetting. Does it require a small amount of power from the battery to retain the presets.


I imported a Japanese car and when I fitted a decent radio in it I kept loosing the presets when I turned the ignition off. It turned out the wiring loom to the radio was different to a European one. My situation was fixed by altering two wires in the loom.


Regards.
