Sniff must have caught the virus. I thought this thread would have been filled to the brim with corona memes

Welcome to the forum matey and good intro (eventually)

Indeed mate. I drove launches, but occasionally used to be out on a Rhib in the middle of winter, and by eck it was cold. I drive a desk now, so look back with rose tinted glasses thinking it was a great job, although it could be cold on a Launch as well at times

Gourock, on the South side of the Clyde

The way I do it is through https://postimages.org/ Easy to do and when you load a picture onto it, it gives you a list of options. If you copy the link titled 'hot link for forums' then paste that link into your post

Well worked through bud. You'll need to pick up a manual, if you haven't already

Welcome aboard matey. Plenty of pictures, we like pictures

If there was a large spark, there will be some scorch marks from the arcing. Look for any wires with the insulation cracked , or bare wires touching the horn or engine I'm assuming you hadn't carried out any work immediately before the problem started. If you had, then look around the area you were working on.

Great intro and great pics. Welcome aboard bud

Welcome matey. If you have a manual that should tell you the years covered

Welcome to the forum matey. Always fancied a vmax, but no room and more importantly, no money

Welcome to the forum Bud, there are a few DT folk on here, so you should get help

Welcome to the forum matey

I agree mate. Done my time as a year round rider but stepped back a few years ago when I got caught out at work one night shift and it took me over 3hrs to ride through a blizzard to get home. I have kept my Hinckley Bonnie out the shed this winter but it has been pouring down just about every day since New Year so it's sat under it's cover

The battery should sit at around 14v on the charger. Low 'gas' light...There is fuel in it? When bridging the starter, are you getting a spark when it's cranking? Are the plugs wet when you've cranked it over

So does a 'how to' not come with the new loom you bought

Welcome to the nuthouse bud. There are a few dt folk on here

Yebutt you can have both. FB for the inane disposable and here for anything ongoing

Great intro bud. We like pictures here

Welcome to the forum Bob. I'm down in Gourock and Blackies through Edinburgh way

Shame it's went this way, but I stuck in a joining request

Not sure bud, but having done a few bikes, I would just say make sure you take plenty of pictures and notes
