Yuasa all the way.
They last and as has been mentioned when on the floor they can be resurrected and take a good charge from very low voltages...
I've always found motobatt ok but when they go of the cliff there is no coming back...

Just my thoughts....and yeah Halfords are often the cheapest and I guess will fill them for you too now acid is outlawed to the general public

Yup agreed always had bikes to be registered mot'd on the vin number only...
But if it's not on the database you put in the vin and reg..it doesn't match you cannot proceed with imputting...I witnessed this last week
I mot'd the bike last week that my other thread was about and it just wouldn't accept the reg because it didn't tally with the vin..  so vin only on ticket ...

If you have the v5 it's a printed DVLA document I've always just filled them in and sent them off just like a v5c...I have always added as cover note just to say where I bought it from and why it wasn't renewed...normally a bereavement..
I only done this last year on an old gs450...but as you say julie they change the rules weekly

If you mean the old style 2 sided blue v5..
Every time I've had one I've just filled it out with a cover note saying where it was from and why it wasn't updated...and a new v5c has arrived...
Doesn't work on a buff log book beacuse that's all hand written..and open to Tom foolery

If it doesn't show on the dvla website I'm affraid it doesn't show on the mot database....I found that out only last week.....

Just my own experience

CB500/550 / Re: Nice pair on ebay
« on: April 01, 2019, 07:25:07 AM »
They look like 2 nice bikes..
They have also been for sale for some time..I remember the pics of the pair on the drive .

As for the low miles bike I would have thought a mention of the torn front rhs gator would have been worth a mention ..I understand if it's never been apart but personally i would have at the least bought a new pair to sell with the bike...

I dont want to start a pick the bike to bits thread as they do look nice....and we'll presented
Should they both have front spat guards on the front disc?

CB500/550 / Brake gunk cleaning
« on: March 29, 2019, 07:57:30 PM »
Didn't know where to post this but it relates to a 500 so plumped for the 500 section.

I have a couple of front brake master cylinders  to clean up and service ...and the other ancillary parts too.

What is the best thing to get the old jellyfied gunk out and off of said parts...

Thanks once again in advance
