totally agree, use a hair dryer to lightly heat the glue holding the sticker in place, that way you will get a nice clean removal......

Welcome to the stormistas

You've got a cracking bike and a very supportive community

Being young mitigates this, but Virt knows the reality - yellslow?

Of course, yellow is definitely the slowest colour. That's the colour of my hornet so it makes sense.. or it's the restrictor that slows it down, but I definitely think it's the colour

I'm not the fastest of riders anyway, hence the yellow bike!

We all know our limits mate and yellow ain't the worst, on past form the silver lot will be along some time next Tuesday

On a different note, I went to start the bike up this evening. It wouldn't start (it did yesterday, no problems). It tried to turn over, but the more I try the battery starts to fade. Is this a common problem, or have I got a duff battery maybe? I plan to get an oximiser this week anyway.

Cheers - Gav

The big pistons need a good battery to turn it over especially when the oil is cold. A good trickle charge from an optimiser will normaly get it all back to where it needs to be.

Also, If you just start the bike and don't go out and ride for 10 or 20 miles the you won't be topping the battery up so it will eventually fail to start the bike, so you need to make sure you give it a good run or have a charger in the garage.
