Excellent. At last!!!! LOL, can get on with it now

Thanks but is there nobody who can just describe where it is and what it looks like? Done 4 PDF downloads, 2 Adobe upgrades and it's getting dark outside now. Just need to know where the oil sump bolt is to drain it. I put oil in today and noticed the small print on the bottle which says 'gear oil' ...

Can't open that file with Adobe for some reason. Really can't see the oild drain plug under the sump. Any specific direction where it is?

Where is the oil sump drain plug on my VTR Firestorm 1000? LOL, never had a problem finding an oild sump lug before. Is it oin a strange place?

Was indeed bad fuel but needed to clean the carbs it was that bad. Damn petrol stations and their crappy fuel!

Had a great ride out on Sunday. Come Monday morning (this morning) and she's back firing and missing. Went much better once the engine had warmed up so thought hey ho one of those things. But as soon as I started her up at 5pm to come home and same problem again but worse! Now what could have happen...

Thanks everyone. Done it but hope I don't ever want to have to do that in the dark! That restrainer spring is a t***t!

OK, I know this isn't exactly a high tech question but I'm the proud new owner of a VTR 1000f and still teething. Dip light has stopped working. No doubt it's the bulb. Are the bulbs H4?
