Gareth I must apologise for some of the members on here, one who shall remain nameless (Virt) get's fractious if his nappy isn't changed frequently enough. This results in verbal diarrhoea as the excrement has to find an alternative route. The other is a displaced Scot who now resides in a cave in the Midlands and is therefore a most morose creature who tries to brighten his sad existence by riding a horrific Yellow bike whilst adorned in orange leather
:sick:
These people should be avoided at all costs mate, stick with the Home Counties mafia!!

As I look around I am completely humbled and amazed at the extensive knowledge of people on here. Kev I teach just round the corner from the college and am now on holiday. I can't pm yet but if you pm me a number maybe we could meet up. Would like someone with more knowledge than me give her a look over, and maybe a little ride too.

If the bike has been sat about a lot then you definitely need to attend to the CCT's. Sitting around for time with no movement or oil flow can contribute to weakening them.
