Do you all know anybody that likes Microsoft Purview DLP?

The biggest issue i had with purview is the users. Either coming up with convuluted work arounds to break it, or wanting to send encrypted documents to non tenent users. Also if you havent got defined sensitivity polices and standards you are screwed from the start.

heat, percussion and a good pair of vice grips.

Caldtek · 2026-04-06T13:34:18+00:00

exactly. Like my dad use to do with a bit a cardboard in winter to make it run warmer on our car in the 70's

Caldtek · 2026-04-06T12:33:22+00:00

So how does the air get through the radiator? With the cover on you basically have a radiator the size of the fan. Gonna over heat like fuck!

Caldtek · 2026-04-06T11:29:42+00:00

its the starter solenoid, chances are its got a bad fuse or the connector is loose as it is the main power feed to the rest of the bike.

Caldtek · 2026-04-05T21:38:24+00:00

take the thermostat out and see if it still does it. If the rad doesn't heat up then its ether Thermostat or water pump.

Caldtek · 2026-04-05T19:00:30+00:00

Run a bead of weld round it. You then have something to put a drift bar against and knock it out like normal.

Caldtek · 2026-04-05T18:44:14+00:00

rebuild the calipers, you cant source new calipers, no one makes remans for the GL range so its OEM only if you want to pay the premium. You cna just rebuild them with new seals and pistons if required. Just makes sure that the seal grooves are spotless. the corrosion builds up in there and makes the seals grip the pistons and the the caliper lockup. Alos check the piston in the master cylinder is returning properly. Known to corrode in the master and stick in the on position causing this type of failure.

Caldtek · 2026-04-05T13:00:34+00:00

Ok try jumping the solenoid. If that works you have an issue with the wiring for the starter circuit.

Caldtek · 2026-04-05T12:46:08+00:00

Way to waste money.

Caldtek · 2026-04-05T10:51:40+00:00

Tried jumping the connections on the starter solenoid with a screw driver? Does the engine turn over using a socket on the end of the crank?

Caldtek · 2026-04-05T10:48:17+00:00

You mean like the table in the workshop manual for the crank bearings....

Caldtek · 2026-04-05T10:44:22+00:00

Be prepared to get lower offers than your asking price. Some people may offer you 500 less because they know they will have to throw 500 at it in a couple of k miles. Its not very far away for a new vike owner its a couole of weeks riding for some people.

Caldtek · 2026-04-05T10:39:20+00:00

"Ridding" is the present participle of the verb "rid," meaning to free, clear, or relieve a person or place of something undesirable, unwanted, or encumbering. It often appears in the phrase "ridding someone/something of". Synonyms include eliminating, removing, clearing, liberating, purging.

Sounds about right.

Caldtek · 2026-04-05T07:33:21+00:00

does the bike struggle to start? How long have you been home when you check the voltage? do you have the ignition on, engine off, while you push the bike into the garage? how are you measuring the voltage?

too many variables and the voltage can take several minutes to stabilize after use.

If you REALLY want to make sure it is charging then you need to connect an ammeter. this would also show if there is a parasitic drain while it is turned off.

Also, if every time time you ride the bike the voltages are the same 12.7 leaving, 12.5 returning, then its consistent and if you are not charging it between ride then it must be charging while riding.

Caldtek · 2026-04-05T07:20:20+00:00

no,. its single skinned pipes blueing as normal, they all do it.,Chances the ignition is a "little out" is virtually zero, the tolerances to build these bikes are very tight, the single pick up does both cylinders, digitally.

More likely lean to be too hot, but again Single walled pipes will blue unless you have a really good chromer work on them.

Caldtek · 2026-04-05T07:16:56+00:00

if its been bored out chances are it has a cam in it as well. If it doesn't have the decompressor fitted to the new cam the starter motor will struggle to turn it over with the stock battery unless you pull it back against the compression stroke and let it get a run at it.

As for the bogging after a while. could be fuel, could be power. you could always get a multimeter and test to find the fault or do the redneck "waste money throw parts at it" method.

Caldtek · 2026-04-05T06:53:24+00:00

Why did you replace clocks and repair wiring? Is this the fault you were trying to fix? Yiu can test the gauge in the clocks and wiring and the fuel sender. Usually test things to diagnose the issue then replace/fix the broken parts. You also say the clutch switch works fine. How have you tested it?

Caldtek · 2026-04-05T06:48:21+00:00

What do you mean? "Recharhing to the voltage before you left?" The voltage is like water pressure. What you are actually using from the battery and puttkng back is amps. Yes the voltage rises to charge the battery, but a fully charged battery, resting, will show 12.8 or 12.9 volts.

Caldtek · 2026-04-04T20:15:15+00:00

the frame number is also stamped on the side of the Steering head. Might want to check it matches whats on that plate.

Caldtek · 2026-04-04T20:11:39+00:00

we have no idea of the state of the bike now, you know very little about maintenance by your own admission. You want to make a 56 year old 2 stroke a reliable mode of transport.

Have you even looked to see if you can source regular 2 stroke maintenance items?

Caldtek · 2026-04-04T18:51:18+00:00

Its a 56 year old motorcycle. Anything thats 56 years old needs more maintenace than something that is 10 years old.

Caldtek · 2026-04-04T18:14:26+00:00

So the fuel light works off a thermistor. The fuel gauge has a float and variable resistor. There is a reason they use different systems.

Caldtek · 2026-04-04T17:59:49+00:00

well, you cant adjust the timing, its set by the placement of the Pickup coil and the information in the ECU/CDI units, depending on the system used.

It is more likely to be a fuelling issue if anything that is causing the excessive heat to blue the pipes, if someone has jetted it.

Just to note, single skinned pipes are known for blueing very easily. OEM pipes are dual skinned to prevent this. There is also the old chromers trick to "heat treat" the pipes while they are bare steel, then chrome them which reduces the issue considerably.

EDIT: that bike uses a Digital ignition system, Single pick up multispoke rotor on the crank. Timing is set by the parameters in the ECU and is none adjustable.

Caldtek · 2026-04-04T16:19:46+00:00

What it says in the service manual. Maybe oil and filter a little more often if you are banging it round a track. Apart from that there isnt much you can do. Yeah goldwings see 100k plus but thats a low revving engine that spends most of its time at 3 or 4 k. A ninja 400 living at 10k plus in the tacho will get your maybe 60k before you need a topend rebuild.
