So under the boot all is grim. Didn't get it cleaned as the outer nut is done with being a nut and wants to be cut off but just a shake about and the bike starts again. Is that just bit of M6 stud? Can I renew it and the nuts? http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r583/dodrlk/IMG_20160620_172945.jpg

I wonder how well this would hold up inside a fairing.

The replacement RR is genuine Honda. I forget what bike it's from TBH but definitely a Honda. I have a DVM I can use for static tests - last time I checked I was getting solid 14 and a bit volts. A permanently mounted meter seems a good thing though :thumbup: I wonder if I can get one that combines ...

Hi guys, should have said, the RR has been replaced with a finned one. That was the first mod I did after I joined this forum :) I'll get the boot off and give that connector a check and clean. She doesn't get out in the rain much but my car has been off the road so for the last week she's been roll...

So as a little background, my storm has a 3 month old Yuasa that lives on an Optimate. It has been a tiny bit hesitant to start now and then but nothing to make me worry. I rode to Snowdonia from Hampshire Friday and it was fine, it was worryingly hesitant Saturday AM but then fine for the rest of t...

Cheers for the info and advice guys. I showed my mate and he decided to sit tight and wait for a tidier and more original bike

Hi, a mate is looking to join the ranks and has his eye on this.

Seems to have manual CCTs. Has a few non stan...

I'll check it out

I don't think it's clutch rattle - sure I had the clutch in when I was gunned the engine when I pull up after realising the noise was there but I will double check

Stopper is steel - the plain shoulder for a bolt. I'll try and get something on YouTube or Soundcloud. Sods law says this rattle goes into hiding until I roll into Calais

Thanks for the replies guys.

It's definitely not a CCT failure, not yet at least. This is just the hint of trouble down the line - The problem is that down the line includes a 2-3k mile tour of Austria and I don't want this rattle coming with me.

So I reckon I should throw an earplug free ride into my routine every now and then. Normally I never leave home without them but took an unusually short ride today so didn't bother...and noticed an intermittent and feint but still worrying rattle from the back right of the engine. Pretty sure it's o...

Cool - thanks for the info and tips. Very much appreciated.

Looks like I have a crazy fun filled wiring weekend ahead sometime very soon then - as well as the EB I have a USB socket I've been avoiding and have just bought a sat nav too. Yay!

Cheers Wicky :thumbup: EB order placed :D Just googled the angled holder - is that angled cable exit you are talking about?

Hi folks, not been around here for a while but now I needs your clever so am crawling back... Not sure why but my headlight beam looked decidedly yellow last night so I have resolved to get some Eastern Beaver action on the go. There are two options though - "In shell" or "In fairing&...
