Hi Mark

I hope you have sorted out this problem, 

I have been told that leaving the ignition on for a long period can damage the  Electronic Ignition & possibly the coils, I hope this is not the case for you.

I have a non maintanance Gel Motobatt battery on my cb750 from Silvers, it was only about £9.00 more than the crap acid battery.

PS.... since our recent contact, have you given your bike a decent run yet ? if so how is the bike running.
I have got mine running really well now, i just made the air/fuel mixture a touch richer

Hi Greebo, it was on for about an hour but I've started it since so no harm done, battery now seems to be holding its charge (gel mat battery) I take mine for its MOT tomorrow at 4.30, some frantic last minute jobs being done tonight!, it's only 5 miles to the MOT station but strangely the return journey is at least 60 miles so I'll let you know tomorrow evening 😀.

Just been out for an hour, runs well, taken up to 7.5k and it goes like a train, great sound (if a little loud), lots of tidying jobs to do, too many to list but so far nothing has fallen of which is a positive!,
I'll get some better photos tomorrow.

Greebo:
 It Looks well Mark & all sounds good..... ;D

Next time you go for a run, try holding the throttle in one position a steady  60mph to see if theres any hesitation.

just remind me what size main jets you used & what needle position ?

Cheers
Greebo
