Re: Ignition control unit

A cooked battery usually means the RR is bad. You may have other issues though and as tonymon suggested swap out the ICU. Hope you don't have the HISS system on your bike. I'm thinking you do as that would explain the hissing.

Re: Phone holder cradle with usb charging

Evening chaps! Yes there is a rubber bung that fits snug in the socket, Tony. Gosh that’s rotten luck haha, maybe cover it with a plastic bag when it comes to wash time might help? Thanks Chris! I thought it was about time I gave something to the forum, albeit a small niche! I’ll have another littl...

Re: Starter relay

So the replacement relay arrived but has a 15A fuse in it which isn't right. Have emailed company to find out if I can put a 30A fuse in or whether they've sent me the wrong part! Short of an answer to your email, measure the wire diameter to determine the mm2. That will tell you the amp rating of ...

Re: Advice on possible regultor replacement

Thanks guys, great advice as ever. And much appreciated. there's also a brand new one I found made by a company called MTX I's on ebay at £73 but brand new. Ever heard of it? Seems like a plug n play version, according to the blurb. There is also a pretty expensive job online made by Electrex see s...

Re: At last, a Firestorm owner!

It can be argued that this is the best choice. Fitment is a bit of a work around.

Re: Front wheel bearings

Thinking that the bearings are sealed. Pretty sure trying to force grease into them will turn out poorly. I've had my calipers off more than once and I'm still alive.
