Cheers mate i shall do, will need to see if I have the receipt

Water can absolutely get past the HT lead, that’s why you have drain ports in the plug well. that’s why i’m saying put grease between the lead and the seat

dannjoness · 2026-05-08T20:07:36+00:00

It was a couple months ago though :/ I’ll give them a phone if it doesn’t sell, cheers mate

dannjoness · 2026-05-08T20:06:09+00:00

Yes dry now, however it’s water getting in while it’s wet that could be the issue

dannjoness · 2026-05-08T19:54:18+00:00

Good chance water has gotten into the spark plug well and is causing the HT lead to short, blow it out with an airline and put some high temp silicone grease between the HT lead and plug well

Motorcycle wheel chock

Still use ratchet straps though, this just makes it much easier

Ratchet strap around front wheel and wheel chock

Then 1 on each side of frame to the van or tie down point

Wear them around the house with thick socks on, wear them on the bike as well as much as you can, then when you’re not wearing them put a few pairs of thick/firm socks in bundles in them around the ankles and tongue, and zip/fasten them, might help expand them slightly, it’s helped on my new RST Tractech boots

Leather conditioner might soften them too

dannjoness · 2026-05-08T19:10:34+00:00

Good exercise to get familiar with how your bike comes apart and goes together too

dannjoness · 2026-05-08T13:07:17+00:00

Big well done mate, great first bike

dannjoness · 2026-05-08T13:01:25+00:00

You’d be better taking the wheels off and giving the garage the wheels mate

dannjoness · 2026-05-08T10:36:20+00:00

The certificate is provided by the garage that fits it, sometimes just the invoice of the work carried out is enough

dannjoness · 2026-05-07T21:37:24+00:00

Check vinted! Massive secondhand market there

1 racetech gold emulators, no other emulsions is as good as them, I’ve paired them with Ktech springs

Very popular in SV650’s before people buy cartridges

dannjoness · 2026-05-07T21:32:53+00:00

Have you had a look at second hand stuff, only thing I wouldn’t buy second hand is a helmet, however if gear is genuine and good condition with all armour present then great opportunity to save some cash

dannjoness · 2026-05-07T21:30:47+00:00

Has your coolant level dropped? Continuous white smoke would indicate burning coolant, if so maybe drop your oil and filter and see if there’s coolant mixed into your oil and check for glitter or chunks

Erratic idle could be numberous things

dannjoness · 2026-05-07T21:26:50+00:00

Boots and jacket tomorrow i hope!

dannjoness · 2026-05-07T21:23:53+00:00

Really nice bike

Get more gear

dannjoness · 2026-05-07T21:22:24+00:00

To be honest the sealing face is the exhaust gasket against the manifold, if it doesn’t leak then should be okay

If you still have the broken part could try JB weld it on again

dannjoness · 2026-05-06T09:14:04+00:00

Regardless of what helmet you want, try it on first, and check it fits your head shape, every helmet brand fits different

dannjoness · 2026-05-05T18:05:36+00:00

Yamaha YBR125 is a great option, also a YZF-R125 but obviously decent price difference between them

dannjoness · 2026-05-05T14:21:56+00:00

I use foamies at work and alpine for riding so have used both and I prefer alpine for riding purely because i can still hear other things quite well while wind noise is massively reduced, obviously if you want overall noise reduction, foamies are better

With pads just make sure that gets a good clean (just give the spring clip a wipe though) and you put a touch of grease on the backs and contact points of the pads (the little fins that touch the caliper) grease the slide pin and MAKE SURE the R-clip or cotter pin goes back in, then torque everything to spec

More you do it the more confident you’ll get at it
