Re: Running trouble

Side stand switch?. Had the same on mine, and it was the connection from the switch under the seat. Disconnected mine and solders the wire on the loom together. No problem since. Just need to make sure that you don't ride off with the stand down.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Stripped down the high low beam switch, as it was sticking on high beam. The old grease in side had gone hard as candle wax. Taking it fully apart is not recommended as I found out :crazy: Warksd fine now though.

A moffet is a truck-mounted forklift and will have a detrimental effect on your bike's handling.
A MOSFET is a metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor.
A mofset is as above but mounted slightly to one side.

Re: Dreaded reg/rec

The last MOSFET I brought came from a almost new BMW. Even with the, you need to be careful as the BMW had problems with them and were updated, so important to check the code on them.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Added 3 30mm spacers under the instrument pod. What with having the VFR bars, just seemed to be to far away. They are brass, so etch primed them, then satin black. Fitted with washers between the spaces and the pod. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M6-x-30-mm-8-mm-Male-to-Female-Hex-Brass-Spacer-Standoff-...
