Then after a weekend of playing around the derbyshire twisties without any problems whatsoever, I called to visit a friend on my way home, went to leave after dark to find I had no headlights and was experiencing odd behaviour from the clocks and indicators.

This was traced to the 20pin connector block on the left side of the headlight, but there's a chance I've missed a connection that isn't as good as it should be or I've disurbed something else.

I also have an intermittent misfire that is not directly connected to the weather (or the bike getting wet), but every time I try to investigate, as it usual with intermittent problems, it isn't there.

As a rule, since I bought this bike in November, it has ran well for 3 or 4 days at a time, then I've spent a week or so trying to fix a minor problem that has not been enough to take the bike off the road, but has been enough to warrant investigation, then its fine for 3 or 4 days again, anyone see a pattern here?

I'll get it fixed properly in the end, I just wish I had the backup bike I'm used to having so I could take it off the road a few days and make sure its all fully fixed before I rely on it again, but that isn't going to happen until I rebuild and re-register my 400

Get yourself a can of electrical contact cleaner and spend an hour spraying the inside of any connectors you can find. Especially those up near the fron of the bike around the headstock.
