Hi,

Looks pretty good that :)

My guess is that either the voltage regulator has gone and the CDI has blown or stator plate needs replacing.

Might be a good place to start checks.

Cheers

What a stroke of luck, getting a fast one.
It looks like the red/greys are taking over :)

The red and greys look fast even when stationary!

Nice bike, welcome to a great forum with lots of advice and support.

actualy the red ones are crap, but positive discrimination of the political correctnessness requires the manufacturers to make some red bikes

Before I attempt to fire her up this weekend where do we sit these days on the auto lube? Do we trust it or go premix ?

Is it clear that it's working ok other than the fact you can see the oil in the pipes and the level going down?
