Over £20 for a small bottle. Will try and find some blue fluid in elsewhere. I did look in Halfords, but only had the Citroen green stuff.

That will work just make sure there is non of the blue left in the system.

Sure the clutch fluid is the same as the stuff they use in pushbike disc brakes , might find it cheaper from that source
Neil, don't forget to let us know how the problem was resolved.
I certainly will.
I thought I would re attach the clutch hose to the slave cylinder today but to do so I had to take off the exhaust, the starter motor, battery, and still can’t get at it! I should have done that first.
Pity the battery tray doesn’t come out easily ,if at all, as that would give good access.
If the coil gets delivered tomw, may try and start it up..
I could do with a spare 1200GS parked in the garage so I can see where all the wiring and tubing etc, goes.
Getting there.

Real oem and a haynes ??
Got a Haynes. Useful but not extensive.
a mobile phone and lots of pictures as you took it to bits would have done the job as well as any manual for the routing of loom
I did take lots of photos, but never enough.
I think I am nearly there just 2 connectors that I need to be sure of, before they become inaccessible. Will try the wiring diagram.
i dont want to teach ya granny how to suck eggs or state the obvious ,but make sure you have put some oil and water in .
an easy mistake to overlook when you have done a major surgery

I remembered that much, just forgot to charge the battery. So the big startup will be delayed for a couple of hours whilst I charge it up.
Did it go
THe bike has at least 2 spare connectors on the loom that i know of at the headstock
did you not label each one you took off ??

Well it runs....
Started up first go and after it had cleared all of the oil out of the exhaust, from previous engine expiry, which was a little unsettling, it cleared up and was ok.
A little lumpy, with EML light on, so will want a little investigation. Anyone fancy popping over with one of those fancy readers? I may get one in the long term if all goes well.
The clutch does not seem right. I bled it but the lever doesn’t feel right. Will try to tomorrow but not confident.
Do you get a reading from the oil level sensor when on tickover? I just get dashes. Just checking I have connected that up ok.

Been following your thread with interest. Well done so far.
The oil sensor reading says OK under certain conditions. I think engine temperature has to be normal, bike in neutral, idling for a few minutes. Maybe not on the stand.
Ian
fantastic thread reckon you've earned some good luck now
