MANY MANY Thanks EM for sorting me 'ickle un out. Will put up a new post after todays exploits to Matlock when we get back covering yesterdays 'tinkerings' & todays ride out am nervous already!!! lmao
& Jim - YOU'D BETER BE THERE!!
glad your sorted stella, cant wait for my turn, get the old slug out on the road, its sure to turn a few heads, bound to pull if i go out on that, prob out of sympathy more than anything else!
cheers em cos way it is at mo i can go out on bike just wont be able to stop anywhere unless lean bike against a tree or suddenly develop humongous muscles
service with a smile! what a wonderful sound to hear the old slug come to life-a day out is iminent! cheers emz, would have given you a hug if you hadn`t been splattered with half the bug life of north yorkshire, next time you come bring a spare jacket and ill get that one spruced up for you!
No probs JJ, twas a pleasure.
Your little "slug" is quite a tidy bike, for its age its in suprisingly good nick
Tea was good and plentyful,"proper" sausage sarnies on "real bread" were most welcome
Plus I had a good ride out
See you again soon when the bits come, keep in touch and try to resist the temptation to ride it before I've finished working on it
Em
Cheers Billy Boy the extra cash from your generous commission will go towards Em's solar panel fund need to keep ahead of the game with generation
I'll be right back to yours Caz when I find your parts meanwhile .... get out there and ride the wheels off it before it turns into a pumpkin or sulks again

I need Help!! bought myself a hayabusa 99 model show bike had it delivered yesterday and promptly went for a short ride, put some petrol in it, rode half a mile missed some lights and it died on tick-over, unable to start it for 5 mins, got going again and it 500 yards same thing again, grrrr well pissed off now, 10 mins later it started got home but it feels a bit lumpy.
What do I do? did all usual checks without getting inside the bike, how much are diagnostic checks? the only change on engine is a K&N filter, could it be mapping?
Sounds like a "chip" problem to me mate ?
What you mean "missed some lights" ?
Its probably nothing to do with you or what/where you've been on it
Have you contacted the vendor? they may shed some light on it, I'm afraid I dont know a lot about "computer bikes" I prefer to tell the bike what I want
Good luck P keep us posted
hi,EM...i had a similar problem with a ford car years ago.ride...cuts out...10min break,starts rides again ..cuts out and on and on , i eventually after spending lots of money took the ford to the dealer who connected it up to a diagnostic centre and found the lead between the condenser and coil had broken , when the motor got warm the insulation expanded = no power flow ,on cooling down insulation contracted = start and ride again ....the dealer replaced the wire no charge and i had many years easy driving ,it makes one think.
I know nowt about bikes so probably ignore the rest of this BUT
once when I took my bike for an MOT test the mechanic altered my timing and it cut out on me just yards down the road, luckily I knew what was wrong almost straight away so I adjusted it to how the bike liked it FAST lol
I know, it's prob nowt to do wiv it but hey ho, worth a try.
Only way to find out the cost of any mechanic's work is to ask the mechanic.
Good luck with sorting it out Peter
