I wanna get some money from it!!! :lol: thinking of selling it onto a friend, but gonna put some work into it first because although the only major issue is the forks right now it does need a bit of tlc and I don't want it to die :lol:

i ride with lights on all the time and short journeys stop start through town ect ect
That would do it then over a period of time. But 13v is a little low and you should see it rise when the light are switched off. But as you say it a shitty volt tester, fingers crossed it's just a bad reading, but keep an eye on it.

Went out on mine again today :D I do like finishing at 14:30 every other week, has its advantages :lol: :lol: Found a nice little road close to me that I have never been down today, result, and managed to get my front wheel up a little over a hump back bridge. Unfortunatly I chickened out and didnt keep it up :lol:

fitted a renntec rear carrier and givi top case, on reading the instructions i was disappointed to read Note 1 THIS PRODUCT CAN ONLY BE USED WITHOUT THE PILLION SEAT COVER. :thumbdown: I like the pillion seat cover and want to keep it on the bike so with very little fiddling the seat and cover was back on :clap: well pleased with it :thumbup: easy job done, there`s just a nack of getting the seat to fit !. :wave:

You can always fit a different reservoir, see Rizoma's little beauties....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Yeah, that's what I was nudging towards. Nothing wrong with striving to make the bike run as economically as possible for the sake of the planets dwindling supply of fossil fuels! Yeah right!!!! :twisted:
