Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Thanks - there is a tap, but not one I could hook a hose up to, so it's perfect. I've had a look and there are several makes that look identical, so are probably all made in the same place. I'll add...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Chain cleaned and lubed.
Coolant top-up.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

When I got my bike back on the road, I bought a cheap (Powerline) battery. I finally found some time to replace it with the Motobatt I bought last month. Wow! What a difference. The starter is quite...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

New front brake light switch - the replacement part is sealed, although it seems to cut in a little later.
