Re: Your future post ICE death.

Bingo! Considering this seems to be the case in many corners of the world, one is merely displacing the source of emissions. It is for this very reason they should NOT be called Zero Emissions Vehicles but Displaced Emissions Vehicles. I'm pleased to see it's not just me who thinks this way :wink: ...

Re: colour code not b154m then🤔

Dare I say it, but it looks like the colour you're practicing with is what we call 'Teal' :problem: You would think the colour tied to the registration number would be the correct one. Not sure if you have seen this yet? https://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=212965#p212965 Screenshot below ...

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

Last few days in and off I've been refreshing the fork oil and seals on the Tuono, which is electronic so was new to me. That's now done, but while I was there I wanted to check out a pulsing feeling I have been getting for a while when braking. It feels like a warped disc, so while I had the heads...

Thanks for your response! Craig :thumbup: :thumbup: Apart from what Kev says, the only thing I can think ...

Re: 1997 Rebuild gone bad

Hi Craig, So basically once you have got the first start-up of the day out of the way everything else is working as it should be, when ticking over and when riding it out on the road :?:

Uploading a video of it trying to do it’s first start up of the day might help,
