which undies were you looking at... be honest

no fault codes showing. when the ignition is switched on there is a red light is showing but that goes away when I start the bike.

It must have been the killer switch as after a clean and some wd 40 it starts first time. But now the revs are dropping everytime I slow down at a junction. Sometimes it is cutting out all together. My idle speed is 1300 rpm. They at times drop to below 1000 rpm and if I catch it I rev a bit and save it. Any ideas as to what the issue is?

For any avid radio listeners, there is a cracking drama on radio 4 daily at 2:15 pm about 60s 70s crime families in the east end. It's the second series but easily caught up. Started on monday 19th and is available on radio website.

some talent on here.

ok thanks all. Sounds like its a easily fixed problem. Will get to it After work.

I did the side stand switch other day. Do you mean take the kill switch apart and clean it? Is silicone spray ok to use Dave?

I use the bike for a daily commute to work. So there is plenty of water on the road this time of there year. I am having a problem starting the bike in the past couple of days. I turn the ignition. The FI fires up correctly. There is a red light on but no error codes. Pull the clutch lever in and the start button and nothing happens. But if I hold the start button in for about 3 seconds, the lights go out and it starts then everything is ok. Today while slowing down for traffic, it just cut out. The first time the bike has done that. Is there a problem I should think of fixing? I was having a problem with the gear indicator (GI atre) but I reset and oiled the gear shift lever and it is ok now. Should I stop hosing down the bike for a while?

1st prize goes to madsod. It just needed a good clean and some grease spray. Thanks for the illustrations.

yeah, I had just been in the front sprocket cover and took out nearly 2 inches of slime.

the pedal is sticking. If I flick it upwards like in a gear change the tail light goes back to normal illumination

thanks for the quick reply, i'll give it a go.

My rear brake pedal is sticking so much so the tail light remains fully illuminated. Is this a problem with a gunky brake cylinder needing a strip and clean? When I put the bike on the centre stand the wheel is spinning ok so the pads are not gettnig stuck. Any ideas on how i can locate the rear brake switch (suzuli dl 650/ sv 650) and what it looks like?

She said: we can't afford beer anymore. you are gonna have to quit. He said: But I caught you spending £50 on make up. She said : I do that to look pretty for you. He said: that's what the beer is there for.

I have never stopped in inverness but there are plenty of people that have pointed me there. It is a great place that offers all the excitement of glassgow and that other edin...br... (can't spell it) with out the expense and hassle of the said cities.I liked Fort William. You will enjoy the approach as it straddles the length of the Great loch, and fair b and b prices. Don't forget, plenty of pictures for us.

A few flakes?? we've had plenty of slush. Mounds of the stuff. And with it dropping to minus tonight, the north will be one big skating rink. Why did I bother washing the bike yesterday.

I can only suggest wilderness-esque routes. I have been up there a couple of times. first one: I actually came from arbroath where I had a couple of smokies. Followed this route to the Strachan mountains. The view at the top is to die for then headed for elgin https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/56.5374237,-2.9470419/56.7103107,-2.8078964/56.7474994,-2.6474225/56.8349032,-2.6259805/56.970941,-2.5789002/57.0947758,-2.5896534/57.4895494,-3.1933653/@56.9059867,-3.2122235,108033m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!4m1!3e0?hl=en second route: You are not making any progress on this one as you are making one big circuit. There are some B and Bs in tongue. Some are open all year round. If I may plug a b and b here, the Bothy. It is run by a german woman (silke) who will first invite you into her kitchen for a brew. I turned up at night in the middle of winter after a long days drive and she spent an hour ringing round to find me a place as she was fully booked while I was sat in her warm kitchen. It is a bike friendly B and B. There is also the Graccon further on with bedroom views overlooking the sea. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Lairg/58.4865848,-4.4121614/58.5591944,-4.7679966/58.3750439,-5.0181012/58.1472318,-4.6129373/58.0581578,-4.4321583/@58.4555891,-4.5991763,14184m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x488e258173d5add3:0x5928cf9c83fac0ea!2m2!1d-4.402414!2d58.022058!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!3e0 third route: This is the long way round back home. Branch off at Garve. It is an awkward diversion so slow down with plenty of time. Very lovely road with long bends and it is fairly quiet. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Durness/58.1822917,-5.0067378/57.9035504,-5.1608269/57.7532056,-5.0112117/57.767803,-5.1408752/57.8609151,-5.5025186/57.6872562,-5.6341057/57.6066493,-5.3068659/57.6228279,-4.6993472/@57.5812366,-4.9975116,113343m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m16!4m15!1m5!1m1!1s0x4890395fe0758cdd:0x6e45ef344b056e4a!2m2!1d-4.747103!2d58.568414!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!3e0 fourth route: I love this road.

first day of the year the road has been dry. Pity, back to snow again tomorrow.

bumped into this. terrible http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/family-brain-damaged-biker-slam-jail-4669083

I don't usually go to the place, must have been in 5 times in the past year. Curiously, 3 out of the 5 times they have got my order wrong. Is this commonplace?
