Re: Told Not To Bring It Back!
I can only reiterate what bazza696 said and say learn to DIY if the shop's quality of work leaves the bike in a dangerous condition. Sometimes it can be the garage trainee who does the work who learns the trade from their mistakes... which you ride away on. If you spend the money that you would hav...

Re: Told Not To Bring It Back!
Sounds like you have a master cylinder seal failure, the leak can be misleading because it runs to the lowest point/part before dripping all over your paintwork & that's bad :thumbdown: Guess what I discovered on returning home from work tonight?! A fine droplet spray pattern on top of the RH f...

Re: Rear fairing screws
If you're talking about the plastic trim clips just use a box cutter and cut the heads off. They're cheap and easy to replace.
Next time I have my rear fairing off I'm replacing mine with steel trim/panel clips.

Re: reinstalling vista
At that point Window$ is looking for specific hardware drivers for your machine. They will be on your PC's recovery disks if you have them but most likely on a hidden partition on the original HDD. You'll probably have to contact the manufacturer and have them ship the appropriate disks or find some...
