Haha oh god sounds a nightmare! Luckily I live with my dad and it's his shed, it's like a cave, every wall sobered in tools etc so doesn't really matter how messy I am I got some proper chain cleaner and lube the other day so will pop it out into the yard when I do it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's a lovely bike, pretty solid bike when I got it, just general wear and tare which you can expect from a bike of its age, I've already changed the oil, I'm going to clean up the chain later this week and other general things, my dad's a mechanic and I'm a bike nut so it will defiantly not be neglected as long as I have it!!!

Haven't got loads of time due to college (so demanding) but spent good part of my day finishing of doing paint touch ups on the frame. Also been doing a lot of sanding to get the body work for the painting on Friday! It used to be a bike, good having it stripped down gives me a chance to see what hiding under everything. For rust I'm just sanding it down, then applying a rust killer then once that's dry painting over it with a rust specific paint. Not much to update on to be honest, once it's been in the body shop on Friday I should have more to post, can't wait!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just wet and dry, starting off at 320, 400, 800 then 1200 grade, after that a little auto sol (I think it's called) and comes up nicely Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got an sr few weeks ago, it's quite mechanically sound, passed it's mot and that's great, there's a few minor things like I adjusted the clutch lever and the neutral light was always on (now fixed) other than that it's a 1994 bike so bound to have a bit rust, took the seat off, tank, mud guards and under neath the frame is okay, little rust so used a little sand paper, rust killer then gonna paint it (Before it was really rusty) Sanding down the tank, panels etc going to give them a respray since the bike looks like it's been dropped a few times And it's a bit scratched. Other than that been cleaning up the engine which is coming okay (not yet finished) Going to get some better bulbs they're a bit dimm! Going to obviously do more things to it but this is just a start I'll post them in this thread Going to hopefully posts lots over the winter Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There's a little blue cable it was kinked where the cover had been pressing on it, basically straightened it out and now the light goes on and off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The problem has been solved, thank you both for the help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've got the side panels off and having a look at the sensor first and hopefully that'll be the problem, really don't want to take the dash apart Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
