Saw one jammed in the ruts today
Stop polishing and give it some use
If I've got the fecking thing running properly I hope to be able to make it.
Thanks all for digging me out - twice! Spent more at the jet wash than I did on petrol, good fun though. I'd like to say it won't happen again, but it will

What ya been messing withIf I've got the fecking thing running properly I hope to be able to make it.
It keeps dying on me & she's struggling for fuel/air (not sure which) mid-range. There's no pattern to it & it's very intermittent. When she dies she starts up again instantly (for the most part). She's got an FMF aftermarket box of tricks on & I let a local specialist spend some time trying to get her fettled. He thought he'd sorted things but on the way home from picking her up she died 3 times in 10 miles.
When I have a second I'm going to take the FMF ECU off to see if that improves things. I also need to get the clutch looked at as it is horribly heavy.
Then I need to spend some time trying to figure out how to use the trailer.
Then I need to spend some time trying to figure out how to reverse the car with the trailer attached.
Then I need to spend some time trying to figure out how to load the bike on the trailer.
Then I need to spend some time trying to figure out how to reverse the car with the trailer attached with the bike loaded.
Then I need to learn to ride off-road.
All being well I hope to be able to join you in October(-ish).

Get on with it
Take all the crap off and return to stock form, why do people mess with bikes (PO, not you)
I reckon you're right JB, Paul Vernon's been telling me to do just that for months but, having spent the money getting one 'tricked up' so to speak, I was keen to try to get it to work.
It's just going to be a process of elimination. I'll start by taking the Power Commander type thingey off & see if that works. I have the original exhaust so she can go back to full stock if neccessary.

Tim, the problems are because your referring to your bike as a 'she'. Start referring to it as a 'he' or an 'it' and it will work. My advice is free.

Good day out ,good company,cheers fellas
Yep twas a good day out, and apart from lying under Archie and my bike while performing 'recovering' I stayed upright! looking forward to things drying out and spending the summer exploring the countryside........
They're all 'she's' Steve. Expensive, fickle & I'll never understand them.
I reckon we may have company on the next one......
