Sorry, misread that, I've had a couple of B's no problems with the 650 or 400 I've owned, it's a bit of a surprise to see things like primer paint when you first undress it, other than that are good scoots, and give many years of good service.

Tis the bad weather and salt on the roads that do it Dave.. you peeps darn sarf who do not very often get bad weather to upset your scoots..
Lyn. in a very cold and still snowed in Lloc near Holywell..

Lyn,
It's so bad. I've put a coat on the dog when he goes out.
Weather's much better now. I've managed to get down the hill I live on in the Berlingo van, first time since Monday.
There are far too many lorries and cars in the SE corner of England, so shite happens as you can see from the news. They should issue a curfew notice to drivers and refuse to assist anyone braking it. BTW hope you are feeling well.

has arrived here, no more digging snow paths

Started to melt here also Bern, still cold only just above 0deg, but it's a start. The birds like the heat and so to does Zippy.
Lyn.

The snow is pretty much all gone down here and it's a sweltering 10degC.
I've just got back from a cycle ride and I'm sweating.

Much more betterfull now Dave, flu gone not had a ciggy for 6 weeks
Mind you i have not done much in the way of getting out on the bike either..
Snow melting away here also, still banked up against the hedges so that will
be here a while yet.We had all the farmers out around here with blades on the
tractors helping to clear all the lanes and minor roads..

As I advised you Steve, the C.S.S. can be left in place but made inoperative by disconnecting it at it's plug, which is located under the tunnel/hump at the rear and high up.( It may help someone out)

New clean sensor switch fitted,i now know where the switch is situated,i can see how easy it can get clogged up,its right in the firing line for all the shite from our glorious roads.....

Steve

Perhaps the new switch would benefit from a good coat of protection ? I'm thinking of something sticky like Waxoyl which may be more effective than the usual WD40 or ACF50 .
