Surely if you're feeding on top of the chain the force will be spreading the oil off the chain rather than in to it????

I'm fed up with oil on my tyre so am going to try the thicker red oil to see if that makes a difference...

Steve, you're a gentleman and a scholar... Much appreciated. Pm sent.

Don't suppose anyone has one I could borrow for last 2 weeks or so in August?

I wouldn't need the fixing kit as have a rail attached already..

Would obviously pay postage and add some for a couple of

Thanks

Sounds like the vac pipe to me... made exactly the same mistake a few weeks ago.

Fair point...

I've gone 2 teeth up on back and reckon it is pretty much exactly 10% out...

Who cares tho? As long as you take it easy where necessary does it matter if you're doing 80 or 90 or 100?

Not for me - I think I would find them a bit on the dull side after a storm. Each to their own of course...

Right another problem... :( This morning on way to work I noticed that the instrument cluster had died completely, no speedo, tacho or lights (except indicators worked). I was right near work so continued and on pulling up the engine cut out and on turning the key there was absolutely nothing there....

Who picked you up then? Was it an Angelina Jolie looky likey in a AA truck?

Cheers all,

Think I will give that gas one a go. Will let you know how it goes.

Hi Tony,

Already changed r/r to an r6 one, guess that may have gone tho... and it's not going over 13v and I was under impression an r/r on way out over charges...

Right, just checked the charge with the engine running and it is highly erratic, going anywehere between about 8 and 13.5v. I'm going to check connections and clean it all up. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

James
