If your,"Skid-Lid"
![]() is getting funky.Leave it upside down with a saucer of Bicarbonate of soda(Baking Powder) in it.It absorbs smells. Bi-Carb is also an effective fire extinguisher and can be used as a metal polish in paste form.Just add a little water to make a paste. HTH ![]()

This reminds me it's time to strip the lining out of mine and watch the water turn brown when I start washing it

Good tips. My new lid has a fully removable lining. That should make life much easier.

Replaced the plastic rivets on my Curvy's small black plastic side-panels.One of the originals disintegrated when I removed the panel.
Couldn't find the right small sized ones so got these, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-SUZUKI-...YAAOxycmBSsfT~ ![]() and opened the holes in the fairing and small metal bracket using a 6.5mm drill.Had to use the drill to ream the hole a little as I didn't have a 6.6mm drill bit which would have been better. Much more substantial and easy to source.Nice solid fit ![]()

Took my Starter motor off and cleaned and serviced it.Little bit of Scotchbrite on the ends and some cheap silver aerosol paint(Quid from Poundshop).
Bared/Brightened all contacts/ring connectors and made sure starter to engine contact points were bare and no paint or grease.Dialectic grease over the ring contacts on the Starter after re-fit and also over the oil sender unit.Bolts reset with a little copper grease and a little locktite as they had been fitted using low impact White locktite.Only had blue so just a little dab. ![]()

Copper grease on half of the bolts going into the block.Couple of dabs of Blue thread-lock on the bolt shaft nearer the bolt head.
White thread-lock=low impact Blue=Medium Red=High strength. Although thread-lock may not be needed it's just a small added precaution as these are low torque bolts.
