if it makes a difference i reset my idle mixture screw, was something like 5 or 6 turns out and a bitch to start when cold, so i reset it to 1.5 turns and now it starts first kick but bogs down at low speed (slight tinkering needed methink) bike hasnt overheated for a while now, and im usually thrashing the bollocks off it in every gear when im out with mates...

Shaun The Sheep - near miss...
i remember seeing an article in a magazine some time ago which lists different animals and how they are likely to react when they are in the road (and thus how best to deal with them) example, Deer tend to shoot straight across the road so its best to go behind them. however, phesants prefer walking out to the middle of the road and then running back again, so its advisable to go infront of them. not sure how true that advice is, and i wouldnt like to try it myself...

In car charger type thing?
use an automotive realy, as mentioned above. would be a good idea to wire the realy across the field current from your alternator so that the relay is only live when the engine is running

And i thought i had herd it all

i got a Binatone Carrera X350 from work for £30 (staff discount and non-pristine discount) and put it in a freezer bag, it works well and has a decent touch screen which can be used with gloves, but the battery life is only about an hour so you need to have it plugged in to a 12v system, and my DT is 6v so its not the best.
