Re: Engine light tick

Okay going back a bit I thought maybe the manual cct's were needing adjustment. Turns out they are fine How do you know they are fine? As manual CCts are the easiest to adjust compared to doing valve clearances why not have a tinker before delving deeper. Well, i only have the mechanics say so on ...

Re: New bike arriving tomorrow....Its arrived....
