    Possibly carby seals, mine used to bog down, then take off at 8000rpm, the seals that join the carbs had perished .... talk to maelstrom for some quality Viton seals :thumb_ups:

    Just did a brake fluid change in preparation for tomorrow, I'm assuming brake fluid isn't meant to be black? Lol I have better feel now and hopefully have rectified the front brake grabbing :) next is a carby seal kit;)

    Yeah I was thinking new seals as well, there's possible burn marks I'm not 100% sure

    if you get new seals try ebay usa for brake pads. am getting a rear set for the 750 honda out of china for 10 bucks. quality will be interesting... maybe recycled particle board?

    Hey Guys, I have had a little gremlin this morning nothing to major. I started the bike up this morning was warming her up while putting my helmet and gloves on, picked it up to turn it around and she conked out. ( it does that as it idles higher on a lean...) and went to start it and nothing

    Hey guys, I've found a little electrical gremlin this morning. My starter button stopped working I clutch started the bike as I have a hill for a driveway and i didn't want to put fuel in the car LOL. Got to work still no good. I had a little look and fiddle on my lunch break and it works again. with the handlebars straight or turned left it will fire the starter with them turned right I have nothing.... looks like i'm going to have to find the bad connection :headbang:.

    Before u pull off the switchgear look all the way along the wiring to see if its been rubbing or has kinked or even stretched.

    Poor connection account for 90% of issues on bikes.

    I found the bad connection :) it was a lose plug that connects to the indicator stalk which rubbed when turning the bars right.

    I also adjusted the chain today, gear changes and throttle are less jerky now ;)
