Ha, actually my 900ss has developed a minor issue, tickover a little high, you can bring it down to normal by quickly cracking the throttle open and shut, I suspect the previous owner may have fitted a Honda throttle cable 😐

My dad's friend always just put his finger in the plug caps to check for sparks years ago, proper old mechanic's fingers he had.

Great tip, I'll do that.

Thanks all for the comments/advice I'll have a look at it next weekend, busy tomorrow it's Italian bike day at CMC clay cross, see you there H 👍

Mines got the Dave Silvers one on Mark about £99.00..& simple to fit.
PS... did you get my private message yesterday ?
MarkCR750:
Just read it G, bad news followed by good news!, I thought I saw you as I rode away from CMC but I guess it was another thruxton owner.
PS thanks for the DS tip, £99 is a bargain if I end up needing one.
PPS just check on DS website, they are now £110 but that's still cheap.
