Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I use the vehicle smart app for this, don't rely on the DVLA (or the post office) to be competent.

Re: 1984
The real question is why did the Democrats let this happen? They had several years to get this ban in place. If they had done it a year ago, it wouldn't matter what Trump did today.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I was going to type out something similar but not many people have a mega lying around at home.
Only way to "prove" it's ok is to stick a known good one in and see if you get the same result.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Diagnosis from a distance is difficult but the symptoms sound like a faulty element.
Disconnect the element, it's likely to be permanently short to earth now, so powering it will just blow the...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
The microwave body acts as a Faraday cage for WiFi. So yes, it should block the signal.
What I don't remember from my physics study 40 years ago is how big a "hole" is needed to leak the...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
If you have a small neon bulb (ne-2 or equivalent) you can test for microwave leaks.
If the neon flickers you have a leak.
If the neon doesn't flicker you may not have a leak [emoji1787]

Re: Auto-Clutch Conversion
Is changing to a semi-automatic bike an option?
e.g. https://www.yamaha-motor.eu/gb/en/motorcycles/y-amt/
Not cheap though.

Re: Auto-Clutch Conversion
My knowledge is a little light, but what I've read about them suggests the work by "centrifugal force".
Low revs engage the clutch, high revs disengage the clutch. So to change gear you roll off...

Heat reduces resistance.
Lower resistance faster flashing.
Something is warming up too much.
Does moving both bulbs to the other side move the problem?

Modified the Oxford grips to work from the built-in controller without paying Yamaha an obscene about of money for the privilege.

So the alarm could be a red herring.

Probably part of an after market alarm.
