Gripe of the day - What is yours?

[Kenzie]

Yes, my watch was double ticking. They said it was a fault with the mechanism. Battery I fitted expired 8 years ago so new battery on order.

The really annoying thing is that I feel unable to visit my mother in her care home whilst I and my youngest (who visits with me) cannot go whilst we have something that could really make her very ill. If the local doctors were to use some of the money that they get from local building projects to finance another doctor rather than a fancy new porch and entry system perhaps we could get appointments whilst it still felt relevant., rather than hoping that we would be better by the time an appointment came available. I know that I am stubborn, I don't take the offered appointment because I am sure that I aill be better by then.

Riding to work this morning, doing 80 odd, next moment speedo reads about 63. I'm still accelerating at the time.
Speedo fluttered between 60 and 67 the rest of the way. Never going higher.
When I came off the dual carriage way it looked like it was behaving better. Distance still clocked up whilst riding.


Looks like I'll be taking her apart again...sodding bike.

Kenzie, if yours is a Kinetic, see my post above. Fitting a new capacitor/battery was not the answer.

I don't think its a Kinetic, the insides looked failry basic. Can't remember the model number off the top of my head.

I would say that is a possibility

That it might be, bike has done about 33,000 miles now.
However after a bit of TLC last night, it worked today.
Hence my smile of the day. Odd that it got up to 60 something, fluttered throughout the 60's only when really pushed and I mean really. Did it go up to 71mph on the clock. Under 60 it looked like it was behaving as normal. I printed off a rough gear to rev to speed guide I found on here and stuck it next to the clock. (thanks Martin for your old post). Fingers crossed for now, that and the temp repair in the rear holding...
