I don't do brakes on small bikes Bash it through the box 
I love riding small bikes you have to think about what your doing and were your going and all at half the speed.
It's surprising how far you can go on a small bike

Other Bikes / Re: Draining battery
« on: January 11, 2014, 05:45:25 PM »
Thanks for the quick response guys
I've not tested anything yet because I've managed to lose my multimeter.Just visually checked the wiring and fuses all seems well.
The battery is a Motobatt less than a week old that replaced a year old one.5 years is good going Steve I've never had a battery last 2

As I wright this I have just remembered that the battery before the 2 Motobatt ones developed a bulge in the sides
Wouldn't that normally suggest overcharging.

Other Bikes / Draining battery
« on: January 10, 2014, 11:17:07 PM »
Still having problems with the S4
Recently I changed the battery in the Triumph and I've left the bike three days and it's as dead as a dodo
No lights nothing at all.The battery now comes up as faulty and it wont even power a light bulb
So my question is what other than the useless alarm is draining it?
Will a dodgy rectifier put a drain on the battery even with the ignition off?

Hay Bitsa

Same thing took the cover of my bike last weekend and she was soaked completely covered in condensation.
Then I realized all the bikes were wet the paint has started to peal on the Pegaso she looks far worse than when I put her away about three years ago  :-[
The Honda's standing up to it fairly well but she does get polished regularly
The engine cases and fork lowers look a little crap but it does seem to rain every time I use it.
I think it does more damage leaving them standing then it does using them

oh and I'm not a member yet

CB750 / Re: Thinking of looking at this
« on: December 29, 2013, 09:01:06 PM »
I would say it's an early k2 from the pic because it appears to have k1 fork lowers well worth it non the less.
Only frame numbers can tell
