kevin..in is on a distinguished road
OK did the electrical prob yesterday, removed 3 plugs with corroded terminals soldered the wires together and insulated with a double layer of heat shrink, then sprayed everything including all the other plugs everywhere else on the bike with ACF 50
bike fired and run first prod! so off down the road for a test ride, only a few hundred yards off and I have a rear puncture. Back home V slowly and remove rear wheel and tyre, badly gashing my knuckle in the process,
so innner tube out minus valve not sure as yet if the tyre crept because pressure was low due to an actual puncture and ripped the valve out or it was simply a valve failure, too much blood on the scene to investigate properly, so went to lick my wounds literally!
if it wasn't for bad luck then I would be totally luckless
