I'm battling with Hermes at the moment a couple of bits I've sold on eBay were waiting all week for collection, given up and re shipped with ParcelForce, thing is you go on their website and it states that Covid is NOT affecting their services, and yet here were are 5 days later no collection.

I always hanckerd (is that a word??) for one, but I think if i had bought I would probably killed myself. They are beautiful, I've have always loved the big bikes of the 80's all hot shiny metal, power and no brakes.

Fitted a new back tyre to the GPZ. It's a big difference, I used to have to steer the bloody thing. And I've won some Oxford heated grips for £30.
To keep my neck warm, I bought a 'Giraffe' snood that our bike club sells, with the bike club logo. Wearing it, I can get away without wearing a mask in shops
Yer, I do that. daft isn't it, I used to get thrown out of petrol stations until I had taken my helmet and scarf off, no I can walk around the shop, flip up helmet on, shades and a scarf over over my nose and no-one bats an eye. Special Times, Interesting Times

Nope I've failed. Grips when on today, Last year was supposed to be the last time I was going to ride in the winter, I was made redundant and needed to get rid of the 2nd car or a bike.
I can do another winter.

So I have a gs500e K3 2003. that won't start.
I've done the usual checks and I'm at the point where I've done a compression test and the right hand cylinder was down to below 60PSI. did the add a squirt of oil thing and it did not change so valves, yes?
Stripped the head . new valve stem oil seals, a de-coke and relapped the valves.
Reassembled recheck the compression and it's the same, no improvement.
Here's the question. one of the shim buckets was very, very stiff to get out and back in. Is it possible that the bucket is not returninh completly back and holding a valve open?

I ride my K1200GT though the winter. came with factory fitted heated grips and a heated seat. Now that's an option worth having in the winter.

My journey to work is only 7 miles all on main roads, with the exception of the one mile of the estate I live on where the council won't take responsibility and grit the roads.

Still a few bikes on the roads in the morning, but by-eck it's getting cold, nearly put the heated grips on, but trying to hold out until the clocks change.

are these individual policies for each bike. Benettes don't allow named riders on a multibike policy. I would not be supprised if they have a bucket full of exclusions that they apply as a whim.
I work on a insurance platform for Jet skis and they have a minimum policy value .

Insurance is a scam at the end of the day, just gambling with your premium. I'm a software developer and used to work in the Insurance industry and we were constantly being tasked with tweaks and new ways to load a premium.
I guess You're paying to put 12k on public display in the middle of London with no one watching out for it.

I'm with trigger. you need to ascertain if the engine will turn over. Normally with it in neutral the engine will turn over easily with a spanner on the crankshaft end.
If not remove the clutch or just the plates. if it still won't turn over it's engine. if it does it's clutch or gear box.
I've not read the whole post. have you drained the sump since? I've had this issue on a GS450. it locks the top and bottom and the clutch plates can bind.
