yeah it's not ideal but to move it means botching the wiring so even more connections to worry about

Squires 2015
I think the weather dampened things a bit this year no least my bike, but I enjoyed it, not squires especially more the company as others have already said. I'm up for a change of venue if we can all agree to where & when ( good luck with that one YOCS)

Soggy electrics
This year at Squires it was a bit wet to say the least and after my bike running pretty well all day, I got back to camp Packed up my gear (20 mins max) said my goodbyes and was off home well that's what I thought! I didn't even get half a mile & she packed in. at first I thought I'd run out of fuel so I rang Drewpy for help within a few minutes Blackhat & Drew arrived to rescue me but it turned out to be water in the ecu & connections. we managed to get it going again & I headed home only to find my top speed was around 30 mph and over hills was a lot less than that it took me over 3 hours to get to Manchester after doing a Kev (getting lost) when she finally dried out and I took the motorway the rest of the way home, anyway I think I've managed to cure the problem with a rubber glove fitted over the ecu & connections. the question is, is there any chance of it overheating, Ive not covered the regulator as I know this needs ventalation hence the cooling fins and the ecu is supposed to a sealed unit anyway so has anyone else had this problem & know any other remedies?

well that was embarrassing
I thought you'd break the stand or yer back! I do it all the time with my 400 to get it out the garage although usually I find it easier on the center stand

Net shopping vs a Bike shop
I buy things like chain lube, spark plugs oil & filters from my local bike shop, but any parts for an old bike like mine I have to use the web. I support my local bike shop as their the only ones I trust to do the MOT, anything else I do myself.
